Update: repair projection is now this Friday, but according to the repair team, they're still trying to source the necessary parts to complete the repair. I understand last week was a holiday weekend, but I'm almost at the point where the truck has been in the shop for as much time as I've owned it. 3 weeks of driving, 2 weeks at the SC.

I think it's safe to say I won't have it ready by tomorrow if they've yet to source the parts for repair so I did ask about my options for swapping it out for another truck at this point. Will keep y'all updated with any news.

Side note: I've had acquaintances with more mechanic experience mention how the suspension system on the truck doesn't seem stable enough for long-term use. Does anyone else on the board have similar concerns?

Anyone experienced “air suspension unable to raise” error? Mine was so persistent that the back tires would slant the truck as if in deflate mode.
Had the bumpiest ride back home last weekend & took it straight to service on Sunday. The truck drove like an old pickup driving over a third-world bumpy road.

Almost a week in & still in diagnosis stage ? Tesla projects 2 week repair, possibly more.

Should I wait it out or has anyone installed 3rd party parts to help with this?

Wait it out, definitely a warranty issue. Not to brag, but just to add to the durability discussion, I have 49,000 miles on my truck with a mixture of highway city, mountainous, and Desert driving, and suspension is still going strong with no discernible issues. I have had the high temperature warning described by the other poster above, but it was crawling through desert, slick rock, terrain on a hot day, and the suspension never dropped me to the bump stops, it just refused to move up and down until the system cooled off. You’ve clearly got an a warranty issue that warrants extra attention on your truck, and once it’s resolved, the truck will be amazing for you. I think patience is the right call for you if you’re able to be without the truck while they fix it.
