how?

sorry but, what? there is no suspension change “story”, I have driven the cars myself, the suspension has changed in the Berlin MYP. Tesla sometimes soft announce new features like the heat pump, they never announce part updates/improvements. See the end of this review from Bjørn Nyland, one of...

I should add, changes propagating between Tesla factories are less than reliable. Therefore, only change your order if the cars being delivered to your country are coming from a factory confirmed to have included the improvements you care about. In Iceland, we get Made in China Y Long Ranges...

Berlin has unique suppliers, Hitachi automotive supply the shock absorbers to Grunheide. Considering the efforts that have gone into improvements in cabin noise, it seems likely this is the first material change by Tesla to address the criticism of the Model Y’s ride. The ride was still firm and...

I own a December 2021 model Y LR made in Shanghai, last month I test drove a Berlin-built Y Performance. My car is on 19” gemini wheels and the ride is horrible and crashy. To my surprise, even though the Performance model is on 21” uberturbines, the ride is noticeably better. As a result, I...

I own a Shanghai-built model Y LR with very stiff, crashy suspension. I test drove a Berlin-built model Y performance and even on uberturbine wheels, the ride is noticeably better. I ordered one straight away

I own a 2021 Shanghai-built Y LR and I ordered a Performance Y because the new models out of Berlin have better suspension, even on uberturbine wheels. They also have improvements to reduce cabin noise, specifically fabric-covered plastic where the rear seatbelts touch in the rear seats and...

Icelanders absolutely love Teslas, they are taking over. It is possible to take your car on a ferry from Denmark to Iceland. There are superchargers around the ringroad so it’s easy to tour the country in your Tesla.

interesting, it’s not uncommon for manufacturers to have a “European-spec” due to a historical reputation for having rough roads. It was reported some months ago that Hitachi automotive in Europe were providing shock absorbers for Tesla so, it is likely that there are new suspension parts in the...

EDIT: “This Berlin car is not the same as what I have read about Stateside.”

I have owned a made in China (Shanghai) Model Y Long Range since December 21. My one gripe with my car is the ride, which on Icelandic roads, I feel is overly harsh. I have 19” gemini wheels and run a couple PSI under spec. I have been looking into installing Öhlins DFV coilovers in an attempt...

Hi, great post that is right on the money. I am also in your field, I work as a Lead UX Designer for Air Traffic Control systems. V11 is a garbage fire of bad design. Really obvious low-hanging fruit is simply ignored in lieu of arbitrary choices that fly in the face of intuition. Take, for...

I took delivery of my Model Y in December. Overwhelmingly, I have been using regen for one-pedal driving so naturally, the brakes haven’t seen much use. So, imagine my surprise when I, using some of the Model Y’s many horsepowers, needed to use some brakes and she did NOT want to stop...

after the initial delivery of Model Ys in September, there are around hundreds of Model Ys destined for Iceland before the end of the year. Myself I ordered at the end of September with a November delivery estimate. Since then, the local sales office said end of November if lucky, otherwise...

I ordered a Model Y in late September with a November estimate. Emailed the local sales rep and they said late November (if lucky) early December (more likely). Does anyone know how cars made it to Iceland in the past? In dedicated car transporters or transferred to regular Icelandic cargo...
