why does my Tesla Model Y Current (2020-present) lurch when I accelerate?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and equipment including a laptop with Tesla service software, diagnostic tools, and safety gear.
• Ensure the vehicle is in a safe and level area with adequate ventilation.

2. Software Update

• Connect the vehicle to Wi-Fi and check for any available software updates.
• If an update is available, follow the on-screen prompts to install it. Ensure the vehicle is parked and not in use during the update process.

3. Throttle Calibration

• Access the Tesla service menu using the vehicle's touchscreen.
• Navigate to the throttle calibration settings and perform a calibration procedure. Follow on-screen instructions carefully.

4. Inspect High-Voltage Connections

• Safely disconnect the vehicle's high-voltage battery by isolating the main battery disconnect switch.
• Visually inspect all high-voltage connections for signs of corrosion, looseness, or damage. Tighten any loose connections to the manufacturer's specifications.

5. Regenerative Braking Settings Adjustment

• Access the driving settings on the touchscreen.
• Adjust the regenerative braking settings to a higher or lower setting and test drive the vehicle to see if the lurching condition improves.
