"Comfort Suspension" is just a term that seems to have started on forums. It came from Tesla changing the spring and/or damper rates softer after a certain date and can be identified by the parts posted previously. You can not improve the "comfort" of the suspension unless you reduce the spring...

Have a MYP and test drove a RWD. When driving, the new car seems much better put together. Going over sharp bumps the whole car feels more solid and of a higher quality. Suspension is definitely softer than my MYP but it still seems to handle well and long as you’re not being too aggressive with...

You can be in sport mode and use the same amount of torque that you would use in chill. Just press the accelerator less.

This is absolutely not true. You can easily be less efficient in chill mode than in sport/normal by accelerating faster. The only time chill is more efficient is if it’s saving energy keeping the battery cooler or if you can not modulate the throttle properly.

I test drove the new model 3 and it's suspension is much less responsive than my MYP. I suppose that is what many people were looking for fromTesla - more comfortable suspension, but that always comes at the detriment of performance/sharpness unless on a high-end setup. Driving down a back road...

Shock mounts are meant to be torqued up when at ride height.

I’ve replaced lower arms and drive shafts and noise is still there. Don’t think it’s the top mounts either. I have that play in my diff too. Maybe someone here without the sound can check for us if their diff is the same?

Try listening to the middle/upright part of the seat. There is a plastic part in there that connects to the headrest rails that cam come loose.
