sell my 2019 m3.

I can understand where the OP is coming from. My P3D+ ride is not harsh but it’s definitely firm. Tire pressure is at 40-41 PSI cold, 45PSI hot. Compared to my 2016 Golf R with (OEM) adjustable dampers (19” wheels) via a button, this is way less comfortable. I firmly (pun intended) wish the 3 had air suspension options.

I have to say, the Model 3 is a “sports car”, and as such, are subject to the “jostling” that luxury sedans are spared. That said, if you’re really set on ride comfort, the Model S May have been a better choice (?). Bigger, comfier but, Tesla.

The lack of ride comfort I am looking for is something I can’t deal with for too long . I wish it just worked for me and o would save myself this hassle . I will try to reduce pressure. But am my. Water of perhaps selling after a year ?

 

[Deepa]

Typos sorry - better of selling after a year .. the test drive did not seem bad. I think prob sport cars are not my thing !

Which version of the Model 3 do you have? What size wheels?

 

[Deepa]

Deepa, there are ways to “calm” your ride comfort. The true question: Other than the “harsh ride”, do you “like the 3”?[/QUOTEto reply specifically. I am not as thrilled as I was before I bought it.

Reduced it to 42 but they did inflate up to 45 in the heat. Yes roads are severely uneven ride is jumpy up and down multiple times in a 20 min drive

I do know what you mean. Hwy 101 southbound towards Gilroy for example, the far right lane has pavement cracked and collapsing creating uneven roadway. It’s this way for a good distance. I tend to drive the right lane but when I get to this stretch, I move over into the more even lanes. One day I took Monterey Road up to San Jose and long sections of it were potmarked with good chunks of asphalt missing, several inches deep, and you could see the foundation below. Really hard to try to dodge the holes in the road as there were so many of them. Don’t plan to take that roadway instead of 101 again until resurfaced.

Despite the roadways in the south bay, and I don’t think other peninsula/east bay areas are doing any better, I have adjusted to the feel of the car and quite happy driving it. Let us know if the tire pressure helps any. My AWD is recommended for 42 cold, cold is how you should be setting your pressure to. Driving on the tires will naturally inflate them as the air expands as it warms.

Asked before but what size wheels do you have on your car?

 

[Paul2017]

What is the MSRP of your M3. What is it SR+ or the model

 

[Deepa]

Which version of the Model 3 do you have? What size wheels?

Standard plus , I think the default tires 19 inch ?

 

[Paul2017]

39,900 MSRP? Do you have any options, I might be interested give me more details

Msrp prob 36k

So weird. I guess our roads are just so much better here? I don’t think the model 3 rides bumpy hardly at all. I do have the 18s tho.

 

[SMAlset]

If you have aeros they are 18 and a softer ride. The 19s are with the silver wheels. Do you remember which wheels your test drive vehicle had?

The 18s will be a softer ride, and get better range. Husband suggest I order those for that reason but I liked the bling factor of the 19s, so went that route knowing the ride would be more sports like.

It’s the black wheels and I also drove the same

 

[Deepa]

Prob I can double check the msrp. I do not have my dmv reg yet. So have some time to figure this and make decisions. It’s the standard plus 225 mile range rwd

 

[Paul2017]

That’s 18. Check your PM. Interested in the car

 

[kengchang]

You can try to get a set of softer spring, probably less hit than selling the car

The standard plus is 240 miles range. Not to be rude, but how does someone not know the basics of their car (18 vs 19 inch wheels, price, etc)

I find my previous Volt to be a much more smooth and quiet ride as well.
