Suspension Height - P3D vs. P3D+ vs. RWD

[D3xDt3Reaction]

Service has been languid in their response. I was hoping someone has some sort of info about this. My rear definitely sits 1/2" higher than the front. Others have posted a different measurement. I really want to make sure I have the correct springs, but so far it's not looking like that's the case.

Took mine to the SC and they didn’t even really have a spec yet on how high it was supposed to be? The tech said they could order me new springs - I said I didn’t necessarily need new springs but just wanted to make sure it was right. I guess they are still planning on new springs but strange that they didn’t know.

My wild guess is that when you bring your car in for badge / spoiler they'll swap out the spring to the right one

Took it into service center and they measured it and is working with engineering team. I'll update once it is resolved.

Did you ever hear back from Tesla on this? I'm noticing that my front spring PN is not what is shown on the public parts catalog. I have 1044379-04-B and they show 1044368-04-B.

I had mine in to the service center twice and asked them about the suspension height both times since mine is about 1/2” higher in back. They basically said there is some variability in the height and that they don’t have a spec for what it should be yet. I should have asked them about the parts specifically but I assume they would have checked that.

I have the same setup as you. Rear springs listed but wrong height but front springs listed and lower height. The people with lower rear springs part numbers aren't listed. I bet the P+ springs aren't listed and we have half of them or they made a change at some point.

I still don't have a resolution from Tesla. My spring part number matches the catalog and after 2k miles the back seems to have dropped 1/8 inch. I think they changed the part number after the initial build for some reason.

The wheel gap on my P3D+ is larger than my previous 5 series M sport.

 

[mcbarnet007]

The P3+ that I test drove did not have this.big of gap. If fact any P3+ in the 50k to 60k vin range have much smaller gap than my car. I think anyone not happy with the gap need to keep pushing Tesla to provide a solution so they will do something about it.

Yes, I love my Tesla but if they are going to advertise “lowered suspension” then what is it lowered relative to?

My concern is the springs are less stiff in the rear, which would explain the slight oscillation I feel when cornering.
