LR M3 Suspension problems

[jjtsl]

My LR model 3 is 3.5 years with around 40k km mileage. The ride is getting very hard and bumpy to the point that I feel every bump on the road. I even lowered my tire pressure below recommended for a smoother ride but it’s not helping.

Has anyone else experienced this and got this repaired under warranty?

We had a rattle early on with our LR and they fixed it under warranty. Make an appointment and have them look at it.

Thanks, I’ll make an appointment and let them take a look.

Let us know. I don't drive it very much lately but my wife uses the car a lot and she did mention it felt rough.

Which model is your car and from which year? Mine is one of the first model 3s in Canada so maybe its problems with my batch or just my car…… Anyway, I made an appointment for next Thursday, and will provide an update here.

Mine is a 2018 also. Same as yours.

Update: I brought it in today and they hoisted it up in their workshop to inspect the suspension. After the inspection, he said nothing was broken or worn, and explained that a tesla is heavier than normal vehicle given the battery weight, and the Model 3 has only conventional suspension and not air suspension so it would feel more harsh than other cars.

I still feel like the ride is harsher than before, but am glad that they took the effort to inspect the suspension and also to spend time explaining to me.

Long shot, but what is your tire pressure?

My tire pressure is around 40, recommended is 42.
