Congrats bchamba. Where are you taking delivery?OD 3/11 white/white, no FSD, south fl
Got a VIN early this morning and my delivery date shortened to May 21 - May 27
The evidence is in the removal of the suspension from the website. Do you have a link To where you saw that post?
I know I’m being dramatic: According to Tesla, the car should've been delivered 2 months ago.
I was anticipating a way more bumpier ride with the 20" wheels and Pirelli tires. I can feel the bumps in the road a little more than I did in my ICE car, but it isn't that bad at all. Tires are pretty quite too.I don't think the part numbers have changed. There's conflicting information so I think it's a bit misleading to definitively say it isn't performance suspension anymore. We do know that the tires changed (and are actually quite good from a performance aspect, just not as good as the class leading Michelin). You just have some people who want to gripe about everything. Which is their right, but it is misleading when you lump everything into a purview that Tesla is 100% bad at everythnig.
Just a heads up. I did see a Reddit post yesterday where Tesla refused some type of warranty work because the suspension on the car was aftermarket. I'll try to find the link.I never said they were 100% bad at "everything". That's you being over dramatic. The userbase has more often than not been right about these kinds of things, so I'm standing firm that the suspension has been nerfed. And THIS is incredibly important for someone who is autocrossing, because if you change the car from stock (even the springs) then it's going to dump you into a more competitive class. If you purchase this car with the intentions of running it in stock class than you will be at a bigger disadvantage than if you had picked up a 2021 model.
To be fair though, they haven't really done anything right so far, and I can say with complete confidence that this is the single worst purchase experience I have ever witnessed.
That's good to know. I think aesthically it doesn't look as nice as the Michelins. I heard the tire wear was not great at all though. What car(s) did you have in the experience? I think many of the people complaining about the ride quality might not necessarily of came from performance oriented cars. Having a lot of 3 series and Hondas\Acuras before that, I don't think the Teslas are harsh at all. I can imagine one thinking so if they their experience was with cars with soft suspension though.I was anticipating a way more bumpier ride with the 20" wheels and Pirelli tires.

Evidence, yes. Not plenty. I'd love to be wrong here. The best evidence would be for someone to take a look at the part numbers that should be stamped on the springs and compare those.Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY
How do you know, did you measure? The 2021s did not sit low, even compared to LR and SR from the same model year, as shown in the video linked earlier in this thread. Then there's something crazy with my M3P because mine has gotten numerous comments now from other friends owning it where it...teslamotorsclub.com
#567, #568, #571, #576.
Plenty of evidence.
Fort Lauderdale!Congrats bchamba. Where are you taking delivery?
Wooohoo! I had opened my app, saw no EDD change then closed it. Then about 10 seconds later I got an email about the final payment stuff. Opened the app again and saw the new EDD. Ran back to my PC and checked the source code for the VIN and it was there. Hopefully it updates on the account soon.Congrats! Good to see Canada getting some M3P VIN love
I think I saw the same post here. I think they had control arm issues. I don't blame Tesla in this case as any other manufacturer would do the same thing.
That is where I will be getting mine as well. Let me know how it goes and congrats again.Fort Lauderdale!
There's part numbers in there. They added a "c" or something at the end IIRC. You should look at manufacturer listed dry weight if you want to look at the true weight of the car, not a certain part as you don't know if they offset it in other ways.Evidence, yes. Not plenty. I'd love to be wrong here. The best evidence would be for someone to take a look at the part numbers that should be stamped on the springs and compare those.
Did the battery pack also change for 2022? If so, is it lighter or heavier?
Normally I’d agree with that but the Tesla upper control arms are a bad unit that will likely fail under the stock suspension setup which has happened a lot. They repack the grease in them after certain intervals during service visits.I think I saw the same post here. I think they had control arm issues.

You can certainly do so and will most likely lose. You will probably not want to incur the expense nor wait it out in court for years to see your case to the end. All you need to do is put your case against Tesla, BMW, Audi, Honda, etc.. Not too bad if you have some high powered lawyers on retention. /sI'd pitch a fit personally, the Magnuson-Moss Act covers this exact scenario unless they can prove that aftermarket parts caused the failure.

How would it compare to your Lexus (also which one?)A Honda and a Lexus. Thankfully the roads and highways where I live are in good shape
