Coil vs Air suspension. Been reading the archives and have come across a dozen posts of air suspension owners stating they no longer use entry mode lowering and raising due to fears of system failure after experiencing air system issues and errors. When my ML550 air suspension failed, the mechanic told me they all fail eventually, some sooner than later. The rubber ages and leaks start straining and burning out compressor. Its greatest and possibly only asset is ability to raise and lower vehicle. So glad coils became an option.

I def wanted coils, you really only need air if you're heavy offroading or towing heavy. And I do neither.

I had an early VIN AWD. The air compressor was noisy and ran quite frequently. Like every other drive, for around 5 minutes. And it always parked at a weird lean when the ground was not perfectly level. So I turned off entry mode. Looking forward to not ever having to hear that again.

I'm one of the new members. Ordered 2/21. No info from tesla other than AI chatbot deliver 9/14 to 11/23 to Grand Rapids, MI.
That's not too shabby, many of us waited 4-1/2 years from the time we reserved!

Yep, I agree 100%. @TarheelCT curious to see how the ride is. With adaptive and the 18's, the ride should be pretty comparable. Keep us posted.

So all steps are done, loan in place. Has anyone had any success with adding pressure to have the FSD transferred? I bought a model 3 when I decided the Cybertruck was just too much. I got it with the FSD purchase thinking it would help resale and looking at the trade numbers its not at all. I ordered the CT on the first night when the website still said transfer FSD (yes I know the whole March 31st thing) but if they keep hearing it from us......maybe they bend. Also would my Model 3 need to be paid off to transfer it (rules as if it was still March 29th)

Exactly Kemosahbee. But that's a static conversation that happened in the past.......we might have more info as people have in great numbers got the prompt today for delivery. That's the nice thing about real time data.

:) To be fair, this is one of the hottest threads on the forum right now with over 800 entries, but I would say, every page is worth a read!
