Love, Love, Love the new Raven Suspension!

[BornToFly]

Picked up my P100DL on Saturday. According to testers who posted a YouTube video, the Sport setting is like the old Model S suspension. The Standard is the new softer setting. After driving with Standard for a little while, the switch to Sport is very noticeable, and now that feels too harsh. I really like the luxury feel of the Standard setting. The car is VERY quiet going over bumps as well. LOVE IT!!!!

I wonder how much of the noise reduction is due to the low noise tires, that are now standard on the Raven, versus the suspension and bearings.

Hard to say since my previous car was a 2015, and I don't know what improvements they have made with sound deadening, etc.

My Ludicrous X came with Continental Crosscontacts just like my 2016 X75D got, which really surprised me since I thought all performance cars got the Pilot Sport tires. I'm actually not sure that's a bad thing for me because I wasn't looking forward to replacing every 10 or 15k and I am not really planning to do that much aggressive driving.

The only test data I've seen, from Daerik's reivew video, showed that even Sport was smoother than the old suspension.

Did your previous P85D have the performance plus suspension (I.e. built before April 2015)?

I took delivery in May 2015, so I'm not sure the exact build date. I sold it a month ago.

It must depend on the size rims you ordered.

I have the 22" on my X and it came with the Pirelli Scorpion Zeros.

Is the Raven suspension just for P cars? Or do regular non-P cars get them too ?

Looking fwd to this. The rough ride, thumping over bumps...one of my 2 least favorite things about the car.

Do you have the original Monroney? The build date should be on it.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4

Can you confirm if they are Pilot Sport 4 or Pilot Sport 3?

PS3 does show up as a Tesla spec OE max performance tire on the rack.
the PS4 shows as an Audi spec OE tire.

Sure:

I'm willing to bet the non-P raven cars will have all-season tires instead of the Pilot Sport 4.

My ‘15 and my ‘17 S’ were both ordered with 21” wheels the day the sonic carbon 19” wheels became available I ordered those and will never have 21” wheels on a Model S again.

I hear ya, way too delicate of a wheel + tire combo.
