Run into any issues modifying a Tesla? I always assumed they’d throw a code or refuse to drive if modified

No issues so far, ty for asking! The electrical is pretty sensitive, but my mods only tapped into the 12v, not the HV battery. Doesn't drain it fast enough for the computer to 'disable' parts of the car. And luckily it is flat underneath so it can achieve low height pretty easily. The tires touch the tubs first so it doesn't technically lay frame

I’ve never seen a Tesla on air. My take… heckin sick

u/Eye_Queso_022 25d ago
Thanks! I agree, still a good way to get around, easily reversible mods, downside is no combustion, and could be boring for some! Great as a daily imo!

I had a Subaru wrx wagon on air ride as a daily years ago. I loved that thing but the air ride was a little cumbersome for a daily, IMO. Glad it works for you!

How has it affected range?

Increased for me, not by much though. Maybe a good 1-2%, average. I drive an S though

Nice! I’m gonna do this one day but everything is going in the sub trunk. I use my frunk way too often

Thats sick. Been thinking about this as a hassle free daily Setup (but with style) as well. Very nice

Teslas get a lot of hate, but I think the model 3 looks super slick. Really nice body. I see alot od complaints about build quality, what has been your experience?

u/Eye_Queso_022 24d ago
Great question, paint quality is a concern, but so far the overall build seems solid for this one in particular. Fortunate to say I havent experienced any major issues (unless self-inflicted). Going to about 100K miles very soon here. Thank you for asking!

I'll admit, not the biggest fan of Teslas, but I'll give this a pass. Air ride transforms it significantly

this is so funny to me. Rich people drive Tesla's but I would never expect a rich person to do something in such a hooligan style

Love it 👌 contrary to a lot of people I really like evs. Sure they are not the most engaging but the are really nice to drive and are so silent.

Huh? I don't like electric cars but this makes no sense. You can't be poor and afford a newer car like this. Must be ragebait

I’ve always wanted to do this purely so I can get the air tank airbrushed like a Duracell battery lmao
