Tesla Model Y L in China faces complaints over rear suspension sag
Owners of the Tesla Model Y L in China report an issue with the rear suspension where the gap between the tire and wheel arch significantly decreases after driving between 9,000 and 30,000 km, even under full load. This sagging effect causes abnormal wear on the inside of the tires. Tesla has not issued a recall nor officially acknowledged the problem. Users are advised to perform a manual 'finger test' to ensure at least four fingers of clearance between the tire and wheel well.
