install lowering springs!

[Copterguy]

I can only find one shop, so far, that is willing to install my lowering springs. However, they're booked up for the next 2 weeks. Anyone have any suggestions who would do the install? Shop or someone familiar with it and has a strut compressor and wants to make some $. I attempted to do it today, but couldn't get into the military auto skills shop.. Everyone else in there doing suspension changes too.. Long line . I'm lazy anyways.

Found a place to do the lowering of your Teslas. Contact Auto Customs | Automotive Parts And Accessories Dealer Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii
I just did the alignment today and on my way home got error messages. Regenerative breaking, emergency breaking not available.. Looked up online and some people reset it by powering off or it just goes away. Not mine. I even tried to factory reset and it didn't reset anything. Got appointment tomorrow at Tesla. I really hope this isn't systemic...

was it lowered at the same time or was it the alignment that gave you the messages?

Driving home from the alignment. The lowering springs were installed yesterday. I doubt it has anything to do with the issue though. I'm reading this happens often.

Be prepared for the SC to charge you a fee for checking your car because you have moved it from factory configuration. I hope they do not, but we should be surprised if they do not. Good luck. Let us know.

I know it happened after the alignment was reset, but where did you get your spring from? They may have a solution.

Tsportline. Again I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the springs. It's a moderate drop and I drove it all over for a day and a half... We shall see.

We'll... good luck on your service/repair at the stealership. I'm considering lower my P3D+ only because the tire/fender gap is so pronounce. Mot sure who or what set up I'll use. Kinda leaning towards UP only because of the research that they have done prior to the release of their spring setup.

Yeah, I was thinking of going with them also, but didn't notice them till after I purchased the tsportline springs so just kept what I had. UP Is significantly lower by about an inch I think which I'd prefer, but I'm good with what I have. I may even switch to coil overs later.

Is love to do coilovers but I don't think the wifey and my pocket book allow me to do it!

Update. Sure enough, it was out of alignment, after driving home... From getting an alignment . So the place I always go to ripped me off, or just didn't know any better. Of course, Tesla Service center is the only place to "Properly" align it. Then charge over $291 for that bit of service. Here's a before and after spec sheet. Can't get it to perfect spec without aftermarket camber arms.. Worse still, I was in a hurry to get back to work after picking up the car on my lunch break. Noticed damage under right side door....
