ORDER. Shipped from our warehouse in Norway. Usually 2-4 days delivery time with UPS. Delivered to your home adress (alternatively nearest pickup location). Price includes VAT. In addition comes freigh cost, custom clearance and fees. These are added to the price, when you enter your address (you see the sum before check out). There are no additional costs for you beyond this.
INSTALLATION. If you don't install it yourself, there are many workshops that do this. The price per pair is usually around EUR
3-500. You may call around and ask if you can bring your own parts. It's also a good idea to buy an extra air nipple and hose cutter.
ADAPTATION. This air strut fits both left- and right side. Tesla recommends to replace air struts in pairs (passanger and driver side at the samt time). This is also our recommendation. It is of course entirely possible to change only one side. But in some cases you may get problems with uneven height adjustment. The ECU/Software may also respond unclearly to different types of air struts, although this is often resolved by resetting the level sensors. The part price at Tesla is EUR
1.480 including VAT.
PART NUMBER. Always check original spare part number or OEM reference before ordering. The Tesla Parts Catalog main number of this item is 1030608, followed by variants of 00C, 01A. It fits dual motor cars (DM, or AWD) produced between 2014 and March 2016 (pre-facelift), air suspension type Standard, Smart and Plus. Regarding the plus variant, some customers have experienced the Vigor® air struts as a little softer. If for that reason you want to go for the originals from Tesla, you must make an assessment of yourself.
WARRANTY. There is a 2-year warranty on Vigor® air struts up to 80,000 km, also if you install them yourself. If you go DIY, however, we assume that you know what you are doing. If you are unsure, please visit a workshop for installation.
VALVES. Valves are critical components on all air struts. We do not recommend buying any type of 'aftermarket' ones, if you are unsure of the quality. Then you quickly have problems with height adjustment, unevenness and the like. Cheap Asian copies also have an ugly tendency to get 'stuck' in a given position. Our valves are German OEM quality. The residual pressure valve is manufactured by AIGO-TEC GmbH, while the air nipple is the original Voss 'quick-to-connect' system 203.
IF YOU ARE A COMPANY. You can send your order to post@teslasuspension.com to avoid VAT. You will receive an invoice, and once payment is confirmed, the delivery is on its way. Remember that shipping, import taxes and fees are added. There are no additional costs for your company beyond what the invoice price states.
