2022 Y feels different from 2021 Y

[ConchChick]

Oh I word good, college edumacated and all!

The price of the vehicle is completely orthogonal as to whether an issue is serious or not, so that is a throwaway comment / non-sequitor for the purpose of this discussion.

A recurring theme here and Reddit is not all SC's are created equal, perhaps consulting another independent party and sending Tesla the bill if they resolve would be worth doing? Maybe take it to a tire place and have them check?

If you're just "done" with the car, and your state lemon law requirements have been satisfied, then Terminator has a point. It strikes me as the least desired course of action for a steering wobble, which is usually easily correctable, assuming a competent diagnosis.

I think my problem is getting the competent diagnosis.

My husband rode in it for the 1st time today and asked if I ordered the ‘go kart suspension’

There was also some sort of recall related to improperly attached suspension components.

Tesla Model Y Recalled For Suspension Knuckle That May Break

The recall affects under 1,000 vehicles, but suspension links separating on the move is a serious safety issue and Tesla will replace the faulty part for free.

insideevs.com

Allegedly they are contacting all affected vehicle owners but it may be worth hitting up Tesla about this as well.

This type of issue is super frustrating, hope you get it sorted soon!

Take it to a third party tire shop, I think one or two of your wheels are bent.

Update: going back tomorrow and another service tech and service manager are going to ride with me to see what’s going on….apparently Tesla engineers could find nothing wrong
This will be the 3rd time…:

@ConchChick Please remind us again of the issue? Vibration or some other ailment?

I went all the way back one page to re-read what the issue was...

Stick with it @ConchChick they will figure it out eventually.....

Thanks!! I’m about to pull the trigger on another demo car and sell this one!!!

That feature is standard on all MYs!

Stop messing with demo cars and just order a brand new vehicle.

Well the verdict is in from Tesla and they say that’s how the 7 seater handles and basically they can’t/won’t do anything about it. I have respectfully requested a refund- I’ve been told no so far but I’m not giving up. They offered to take my car on trade-in and give me 10,000 less than what I bought it for 3 weeks ago . I can’t believe all 7 seaters are like this......

 

[DanDi58]

That seems hard to believe. I mean, the 7-seater may be a couple hundred pounds heavier, if that. Shouldn't make that much of a difference.

Does anyone think the AC is different in 2022? Mine will audibly "exhaust" air like a huge breath every now and then.... never had this on 2020 MY

 

[Corndart]

There is a patch of freeway around Seattle that unsettled the car a great deal during one of my test drives, MYLR but it's due to a fairly basic suspension and stiff chassis of the MY. The "symptoms", if you will, behaved like a very short wheelbase car, over expansion joints, that caused it to buck a lot more than I have experienced in any car we've owned over the past few decades.

Does that describe what you're experiencing?

I'm willing to accept its not going to drive like an air or dynamic suspension vehicle, and my backup plan is to install the Mountain Pass Performance suspension kit if becomes insufferable.

Have you looked to Carvana, Vroom, GMTV or Carmax for a quote?

I had the same issue like this, but on my 2015 Audi Q7 (with 21 inch wheels). I feel the vibration on my steering wheel when I reach above 70mph. took it to americas tire found out my front wheels are slightly bent. have a video but file too big to upload. Don't believe that 7 seater BS.

Or carbuyerusa. There's a good chance you can sell it for more than you paid, to more than fund a new one.

I agree but I'm really at a loss. Thinking of having an independent do the road force balance tomorrow to see if that helps. If it does, Tesla will get the bill

My AC seems the same as my 2021 Y

Buck is probably not what I'm experiencing but more like the car rocks from side to side or left to right over bumps and when making turns.

I haven't looked yet but when we were thinking of keeping the 2021 we tried to get prices for my husband's 22 Telluride and it was like we 'stumped' the computer generator and no one ever reached back out to us to offer a price. Oh wait, Tesla did, for a sad $8000 less than what we paid 2 months earlier

That happened to me on my Tesla. I ended up reaching out for an update and they requested some information. About a day later they provided an appraisal.
