Tesla revises Model Y L specs after suspension concerns
Owner's manual updated with lower vehicle height and ground clearance figures by 3–4 mm.
Tesla has revised the owner's manual for the Model Y L, lowering key vehicle specifications following earlier reports of rear suspension problems with the model.
According to the update, the automaker reduced overall vehicle height and ground clearance figures by 3 to 4 millimeters. The April version listed overall height at 1,668 mm; the revised manual reflects a lower measurement, though the exact new figure was not fully detailed in available reports.
The adjustment appears to address discrepancies between published specifications and actual vehicle dimensions, a move typically made when a manufacturer identifies measurement errors or design revisions that affect how a vehicle performs under load or in different conditions. Tesla has not publicly detailed the reason for the change or whether it relates directly to the suspension issues previously reported by owners.
