I traded a 2020 LR AWD for a 2022 PMY that arrived with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires. Our Delivery Center was 160 miles from home so we had a pretty good opportunity to get a feel for the car and I was expecting to dislike the PMY ride quality. Boy was I surprised, it was much nicer than the LR AWD we just traded in, in fact, I was able to stay in the right-hand lane (aka beat-up truck lane) and not feel all the buzzes/creaks etc our 2020 exhibited on I-55 here in IL.
I could have easily lived with the 21" UT for the ride quality alone but I wanted to recover some of the lost efficiency, no longer live in fear of potholes and curbs, and be able to rotate them so I swapped them out for some 18s from TSportLine, that morphed the PMY into feeling even better, more like a German-tuned vehicle.

Yes!
Can we also send this link to all the people saying the MY ride was perfect and claiming it was impossible to improve the ride without sacrificing performance? (Evidently Elon disagreed!)
It still amuses me that people actually buy the Performance version and then complain about the "harsh ride" 
Mine was built in Austin on 10/09 and shipped to SOCAL. I took delivery on 10/28. I waited for over eight months. I’m just grateful.
Exactly! They have been shipping MYP orders before any other orders since the price increase is n March 15th.
Received my car last week from Fremont. Model Y LR.
The new suspension is fantastic. Big difference over the model Y I test drove 8 months ago.

Then, they should blame their decision making, not the car.

Remember that Big Wheel you had as a kid?
Seriously, I have a 2020 MY. Several months ago I drove a road near me that is not horrible but had a lot of patches in it so it wasn't perfectly smooth. Later that day I had occasion to ride it on my bicycle and I was struck by how similar the ride was - in general, even with the 19' wheels you clearly felt every imperfection in the road, no matter how small or minor. I ended up spending the $$$ to get the MPP coil overs that improved the suspension for me but I'm glad Tesla is putting some work into upgrading the newer versions.
Supposedly the same part number but new revision. Spring and damper front and rear.
