Air Suspension Woes

[NuclearPowered]

Mine is going in for something similar next week. Front of the car is 1 inch lower than the rear as measured in the wheel wells. Air compressor also runs excessively even if car is in standard height and let's out a "poof" noise periodically as if it's releasing excess pressure. Really odd.

Mine is the same. Way off when comparing front to back from ground to wheel well. However the floor board horizontal looks level. I don't think you can use comparison of wheel well measurement from front to back.

FWIW, I have a service loaner and I measured wheel well height in very high mode. Front to back are exactly equal.

Can the "recalibration" be done by an owner? Wonder what the SC does to recalibrate the suspension?

Sorry to bring up from the dead -

I am having small issues with the air suspension - when not in use. Everytime I come out to the car from work, or in the morning, the passenger side sits very low and the passenger side sits higher than standard?

I am not sure when driving if it adjusts itself - but does anyone else see this or have had issues?
I took it into Tesla, and they replaced the rear passenger, but didnt notice anything irregular, however, still having the same issues?

Thanks for your input.

I haven't had one side sit higher than the others but I have had the front left strut develop a very slow leak that would have the car drop in that corner by morning. As soon as you turned the car on it levelled itself, they just replaced the strut and it has been fine since.

Sorry to bring this up again - but its bugging me. Only because, this is a "$100k" luxury car and it looks rediculous in the parking lot. Its embarrasing to see a car sit like this.
I took it into Tesla and they said, it's all fine, it never "set low" one sided when it was there. They replaced the rear drivers strut... But here we are two weeks later and still same issue. Is this a "just get over it" issue or should I have some genuine rationale behind beind my dissapointed of what is happening?
Here are some pics.

Give them 3 chances to fix it, document the process and after that if it still hasn't been fixed, sue their ass under Lemon laws. No car's suspension should look like that. That's a disaster waiting to happen.

Nope.
Don't just get over it.
Make Tesla fix that.

Update: Tesla checked the logs and jack mode has been stuck on, so I need to organize a SC appointment, to have it switched off since a "power cycle" didnt recalibrate it.

 

[P100D_Me]

When mine was playing up Tesla told me when the system detects an issue it defaults to 'jack' mode. I knew when I hoped in the car if the suspension was in jack mode then one wheel side had dropped.

After Telsa service, it now all fixed.
They replaced another rear strut, as well as the Air Suspension valve, which was blocking it. Additionally took off the jack mode lock.
Either way, its all sitting well.
Glad it was all sorted after the second visit.

Just to add to this, how lame is it that the car can be sitting on an angle with a suspension fault and yet there nothing on the instrument cluster to indicate the system has a problem (even though it knows there is an issue because it has defaulted to Jack mode).
Pismo, your first pic from the rear is a prime example of a major fault yet nothing to tell you on the screen the system has an issue.
