change tires to make a softer less bumpy ride?

Those tires on the model Y are not very thick. Can one put on thicker tires that look normal and slightly under inflate them to get a less bumpy ride?

you mean bugger side wall and smaller rims. you can, you will need to change the rims & tires. without it, your tires will rub with the fenders and uneven tire wear, grinding noise and blow-out

Going down in wheel size to have a bigger sidewall for your tires makes a difference.
