    Why does Tesla suspension suck so bad?

    Your comment is perfect. MYP is a fun, do anything utility. That happens to peel your face off. I plan to eventually put UPP sway bars and skid plates on mine.

    Driving efficiency in rain

    Anything that will increase the rolling resistance is going to affect range. Heavy rain, snow, etc.. I've seen 20% decrease, if not more, of range due to environmental factors.

    Suspension Clearances for Wider / Taller tires

    I've been driving with 265/40R21 and 295/35R21 on my MYP. No rubbing issues at all. Ride is softer. Range took hit.

    Acceleration boost upgrade

    While I agree, one can only hope. They ought to just use the new MS plaid motors that are carbon wrapped. Tune them down, and offer AB packages. This would also reduce cost of the plain motor, standardize the motor for production cost reduction, etc. But not a chance that is happening..

    Brand new Model Y P needs a battery replacement.

    So I just did a 520 miles trip. All went well, using Super chargers, heard the “typical” thermal expansion “clunks” while charging. Here’s the bad side. Day two of my trip, I got “turtle mode”. Took it to service, didn’t even bother with an appt. Long story short, the Positive Side Power...

    Brand new Model Y P needs a battery replacement.

    Your lucky. It took Tesla 32 days to replace my HV pack. Then I had to return it next business day because they didn’t flush it right and it was low on coolant. It was so awesome getting those codes 12 hours after getting it back. /s

    Nobody mentions that the acceleration boost is too much power for the stock suspension of the non-performance model

    I have a MYP. When I mat the accelerator, it sways back. So if you want something that doesn’t, you’ll need to upgrade. MPP coil over system could do it.

    Brand new Model Y P needs a battery replacement.

    Where online did you post your dissatisfaction that caused them to reach out? Long story short, I’ve been without my car for 32 days. Got it back last night. Now it’s giving a service alert for low coolant. I’m furious.

    Coolant Low - Ok To Drive Warning after having battery replaced

    Just got my car back 12 hours ago from not having it for 32 days. They replaced the battery pack. Today I drive it and this low coolant light comes on. Needless to say I’m furious.
