2022 Tesla Model 3 — single-cylinder misfire comes and goes

2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 14,000 miles. A cylinder-specific misfire code appeared after one rough start, then cleared and the engine feels normal. Plugs are not very old. Would you swap coils, inspect plugs, look at injector data, or wait for it to return?

OP update: scanned the 2022 Tesla Model 3 again and still only have the one pending code, no new lights. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Agree — and I'd add this: Get a real battery/charging test on the 2022 Tesla Model 3, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. Not driving it hard until I know more.

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2022 Tesla Model 3 catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Do that first. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. If that fails I'll eat the diagnostic fee.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Capture voltage while the 2022 Tesla Model 3 is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. Save the big job until that test fails. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. Checking again after work.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2022 Tesla Model 3 catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. That's the branch I'd chase this week. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
