I wouldn't engage. Imagine he's up to no good. Let him scoot along to the Tesla forum and rile things up there.

My butt can tell if suspension is blown, but it cannot tell if suspension is ever so slowly moving out of spec. Also I don't own a Model 3. I keep flirting with it, but... soooo many issues on these cars and with this company.
I have no reason to doubt your perceptions about the dampers doing less damping. People notice what is important to them. I suspect your dampers lost some performance but without failing. If you said your seat cushions were noticeably less firm after 6000 miles I would believe this too and it would be an injustice. But I am not optimistic Tesla will do anything for a wearable part that is not failing catastrophically.No I'm not an engineer, a spelling bee champion, or an expert on suspension. I never said I was an expert on suspension even though many of you stated that.
The problem with my suspension is that the dampers are getting weaker and does a poor job controlling the rebound of the springs. I noticed the difference around 6000 miles and when driving a friend's model 3, the difference is obviously noticeable. Don't believe me? That's fine, but so far no one has taken my offer to go for a test ride in my car. I'm sure I'm not the only Model 3 performance owner in the bay area.

So what are you doing on forums? Because it kinda looks a bit like trolling.
"You dont own a Tesla so your not allowed here". Nice thinking.....
Will Coilovers fix this problem? I have been complaining about my car bouncing for six months now.
Not a fan of the suspension of my SR+ either. It does start to resonate on certain freeways with regular humps to them, like the 405 when you hit a specific speed. Kinda makes me and the kiddo in the backseat seasick. I don't know much about suspension, but I understand mechanics, and to me it feels like the damper is releasing too easily. In my mind, a good damper should compress more quickly than it expands. These seem to compress and expand equally fast, leading to a rolling motion from front to back that I don't like.
To the OP, I would ask that the service tech take a ride with you, where you can demonstrate certain roads that are exemplary of the problem. Maybe then they can offer you a test drive in a new model where you two can compare together.
Yeah, saying that the guy's suspension is probably fine is really trolling a Tesla forum. "Oh, your car is built fine." "TROLL!"So what are you doing on forums? Because it kinda looks a bit like trolling.
I wasn't talking about that post. I was referencing all the other posts in which you make negative comments about Tesla, their poor build quality, reliability, Etc, while not being a Tesla owner. While of course anyone is welcome to make any kind of comment on any forum at least in theory anyway a preponderance of negative comments about Tesla from a non owner starts to raise questions about what someone's motivation might be, and what are they're trying to have a discussion on whether they're simply there to bash Tesla and score some kind of points.Yeah, saying that the guy's suspension is probably fine is really trolling a Tesla forum.

I mean WTF?

I happen to agree with the person you quoted. If I get in a car with warn suspension I can usually tell immediately. However if my cars suspension slowly wears out I cannot usually tell until it gets pretty bad.

I hope that makes my concern more intelligible to you as you may have somewhat misconstrued it on first pass.
You took the time to remove a damper from your car a few days before you'll have the coil over setup to install? The forks ship the same day but from Toronto. Did you do the front or rear? Did you put it back and have to do it all over again or leave it out? My oem are in a box in my garage, I'll give them a tug.
What is a tug test?
What are the part numbers written on the labels attached to your dampers and springs?Rear dampers. It took about 5 minutes to remove and do a tug test. I’d like to borrow your damper if you’re not too far from where I am. Sending you a DM.
