Will bagging Tesla model 3 void warranty

The 12v battery in the frunk.

How much power can you draw from here before it becomes an issue / error? Thanks

Not sure about the answer since that is not the area I'm familiar with. However, I never had an issue on my 12v battery with all the power draw for the management and compressor.

Anything related to suspension won’t be covered, a bagged model 3 looks so sweet! I would just do it and say screw the suspension warranty

I'd be concerned about running low in the freeway at say 75+ and hitting something which damages the under-carriage and battery floor.

OTOH, lowering a couple of inches does look awesome.

Yeah I’ve heard that with a simple coil over suspension, range has increased over 5%. Not much but something

Lowering my car has significantly improved high way efficiency, probably like 8%.

Aren’t their laws that protect this stuff? I'm pretty sure the automaker has to prove that the modification directly caused the issue to void the warranty.

That was already mentioned, several times, back on page 1 of the thread.

How much did you lower it?

How much did you lower it?

I lowered about 1" and really noticed a difference on long highway trips. I have since added wheel spacers which slightly lowered efficiency, but they are totally worth it for the look. My car is still much more efficient than stock.

This came across my youtube feed this morning:

My biggest worry, as others have mentioned, would be battery damage.

Good thing about the air suspension is it’s your choice of ride height. You can basically ride at only 1” lowered than factory and it ride just like on factory suspension. Or, you can risk to ride low and look great but the ride will be harsh. Here is my daily ride height with stock wheel on, it’s about 1 inch stock from factory.

I really want to bag my Tesla model 3. Those of you that don’t know what bagging means, it is basically air ride that adjusts the cars height via remote and requires a tank up front. Was wondering if this would void the entire cars warranty or just suspension stuff? I’ll post an image soon!!

Good question I’m looking to do the same. I’m more concerned with finding a reputable shop to do the work than I am the warranty

I am curious - if you 'bag' a Tesla, does that make it a T-bag?

is that what they mean by that??

That would make a perfect custom license plate: T BAGD

How does the ride quality compare to stock or something like MPP's comfort coilovers?

Just like @MountainPass mentioned, it will only avoid warranty that is related to the modification. My DRL was out and Tesla Service fix it under warranty.

Air suspension allows you do adjust ride height with a click of bottom, and it ride just as comfortable as stock with proper pressure and damping setting. Best of the both world for daily driving.

The downside I can think of is the cost and the performance around track comparing to coilover.

You have any issues with the battery draining faster? Mine says on trip that i used 11kwh for 40 miles but after plugging back in and checking i used 14.5
