Model Y Performance too low?

[Dave's EV]

I just took delivery on a 2022 Model Y Performance. I drove at less than 5 mph over 2 what I consider standard size speed bumps and the bottom of the car scraped the speed bumps. Has anyone else experienced this? My brother has a Model Y Long Range and has never experienced this.

Those bumps are probably not the standard/approved bumps. The proper speed bumps are wider, so that cars going over that bumps don't pop up/or jump due to the bump. I almost stop and negotiate the bump very slowly even slower than 5mph to avoid any possible damage to the suspension components and/or alignment.

Speed humps are parabolic vertical traffic calming devices intended to slow traffic speeds on low volume, low speed roads. Speed humps are 3–4 inches high and 12–14 feet wide, with a ramp length of 3…

I think it’s now low enough, MYP actually needs to be 2 inches lower for the performance model in my opinion.

The first couple times this happened I was freaking out.. then like everyone else, I realized it was the damn mud flaps lol

 

[pookguy]

You could switch to a flexible flap like a Rally Armour and it won't ground out.

Just installed these mudflaps and they do scrape on high bumps. Thankfully they're flexible so there's no damage to the mudflaps.

Interesting, I have aftermarket mud flaps front and back but they're like the oems. I've never scraped over anything, and I've actually been off road. Lol.

Which ones do you have or could you post a link ?

I saw a very recent Y non performance (dec temp tag expiration) and was surprised at the wheel gap, has it gone up recently?

I drove my MYP first time today to work, about 35 miles, I used 10% of the battery, mix suburb drive to highway max at 65 mph for a few min. I don’t it’s that bad? This is my first EV car. Have it plugged to my word free charge port 2kw per hour at 29 amps. It’s like pulling teeth, but it’s free charging .

10% of the MYP's battery is 30.3 miles so yes that efficiency is good

Bringing up old thread to add that I scrape every day in my MYP.

I scrape over every speed bump in a parking lot.

I scrape exiting businesses that have driveways to the road that are slightly steep.

I’d guess I scrape nearly every day. It’s kind of a PITA. So much so that I’m going to do the MPP lift kit.

Anyone that says they don’t scrape must never go down any type of driveway or parking lot with speed bumps.

When you scrape, is it mudflaps or something else? I have an MYLR and started scraping over speed bumps after I installed mudflaps.

I have a 2022 MYP that I’ve put 22,000 miles on. I drive over at least three sets of speed bumps every day and have never scraped going over any. I don’t have mud flaps though.

Taking a guess from your previous posts your not running the stock tire and 21” wheel setup.

I’m pretty sure is the undercarriage.

I have the stock 21” with Pilot Sport AS.

It’s barely scraping, so I may try a 29” setup before the lift. The extra .5” should do the trick for my daily driving.

Parking lot speed bumps? Or street? I never scrape over the big speed bumps in the road. It’s the small ones in parking lots that I scrape on.

Time to learn how to drive over those bumps and exit/enter driveways.

Time to learn geometry and physics.

my P is low (stock) and I have mud flaps. I scrape all the time on steep driveway and Bigger speed bumps. If i don’t have the flaps, im pretty sure I won’t scrape, u just need to angle ur car a little. Or ur trunk is full!

so yea, adjust ur driving habit and u should be fine.
