Reviews of MYP have mentioned that they now come with comfort or European suspension. Does anyone know if RWD Model Y being delivered now come with them as well? If not, are they coming in the near future?

Haha “comfort”.Reviews of MYP have mentioned that they now come with comfort or European suspension. Does anyone know if RWD Model Y being delivered now come with them as well? If not, are they coming in the near future?
I assume you meant 2022. If that is the case that’s good. How did you know that they all come with the new suspension now?From the MY RWD that started getting delivered to customers in Aug/Sep 2021, these cars already had the comfort suspension from the get go. I took delivery in September and my MY rode better than the M3 SR+.
You are correct, I meant 2022. Unfortunately I can no longer edit my original post to correct it.I assume you meant 2022. If that is the case that’s good. How did you know that they all come with the new suspension now?
I test drove one a month or so ago and it was ok, no worse than my US built M3 SR+, although I didn’t really drive over any bad road.
It's softer than the SR+ (as long as you didn't order the optional wheels) but it'll still spill your coffee in the cup holder.Whilst I find the suspension of my M3 SR a bit too harsh, and noisy over bumps, it’s not a dealbreaker as I still went ahead and order an Y. I am guessing the newer more compliant suspension still thumps over bigger bumps?

So no new rear shocks for RWD?Looking at the parts docs for RWD there's 2 versions for the fronts but only one version of the rear - your part number looks to the be "latest" version of the part numbers

There appears to be 4 different versions for the front for 2 for RWD and LR?, 2 for performance.
For the rear there are 2 versions for performance and 1 each for LR(dual motor) and RWD
Weight difference will mostly be in the front due to the front motor. Battery pack is only slightly heavier in the LR as the LFPs have lower density so similar pack weightSomeone on Whirlpool Forums has 1188463-00-E rear dampers on their Model Y RWD.
These are used in USA on the Long Rang Model Y as part of the "comfort suspension" upgrade, so it's interesting they used the same dampers on the RWD, which weighs 70g less than the LR.
