adaptive suspension

[peterfd]

My Oct 2018 build P100D is overly stiff to the point of being uncomfortable on many city streets, and passengers complain.
The newly announced adaptive suspension may be the solution I have been looking for.
Is the adaptive suspension available as a software or hardware upgrade for pre-April 2019 cars?

Not likely

Ride quality is about shock valving, not going to get that in an update in less the car already has a system like GM's mag-ride which the air suspension is not.
My last car had the GM Mag-ride and I would trade the air suspension height adjustment for mag-ride in an instant. Car could go from Grandpa soft to holding a full G cornering with the flick of a dial.

Sounds like you probably have 21" wheels. If Yes, I would change to 19" wheels and the ride should be much better. If you already have 19, the new suspension will still probably not be soft enough for you.

Good point 19" definitely ride better than 21s

I have 19 inch wheels

What cars did you previously own, Buicks, Cadillacs and Lincolns?

The new system is physically different from the old one, so a software upgrade should not be available. From what I have heard, it might be possible to get the new system, but it would take buying a lot of parts, etc., and I don't know if Tesla would be willing to do it.
