It says it maybe available on the next drive (its been a few different drives to get home and it's still there) After picking it up today I went back but the service department wasn't open today and it's a 4.5 hour drive back, or 3 hours to the closest one. Did they not calibrate something? The truck is still on FSD 13.2.9, so it hasn't been updated yet to the newest software. Thanks for the advise!

So its either a software issue or a problem with the compressor /air leak.. First I'd try getting the truck to update, then do a full power off reboot for a few minutes. If that doesn't resolve it then you most likely have a hardware issue and need service - which really sucks on picking up a brand new truck day one.

Mine settled on ride home also. Depressing. Heard a loud pop, and ride height went down to minimum. Didn't feel safe driving it, but Tesla said it was ok.

Between the compressor, and reservoir and struts are a bunch of press in to lock fittings. Supposed to pull them out to make sure they are locked in. My guess is that one of the hoses popped off on your truck.

It’s an AWD Premium. Went into service mode and it shows no CAN communication to the passenger front height sensor

As posted on other thread, mine was stuck on Extract and SC replaced some valves the next day.

not directly on topic but how long did you guys with 26’s have to wait for the latest software to install? I’m on FSD v13.2.9 that it came with and I’m used to v14.2 on my wife’s Y so it’s killing me lol

Ok did some home diagnosing, if I push the connector for the right front height sensor in at the sensor and where it plugs in the suspension error goes away temporarily until I hit a medium sized bump.

You need to replace the sensor... I had exactly the same problem, it went away on the next restart and whenever I hit a bump it triggered the suspension error.

Also, how is your air pump? does it sound like its active a lot of the time? Mine is and now I got a leak warning on service mode.

Will take it to Tesla next week.

never heard the pump until I just now when I pushed in the connector. Then heard it a couple times is all. I'm going to go down to the service center tomorrow (3 hour drive) and MAKE them put a sensor on, it couldn't take more than 5 minutes...

wow these air suspensions have lots of little problems. how do you feel about it going out of warranty after 4 years?

do you think it's worth it over the new adaptive coil suspension on the 59k AWD?
