with the recent info about the Model Y LR and Performance receiving a new Comfort suspension starting with cars manufactured in Texas and Fremont starting October 22, I'm curious just how different the driving feel and comfort really are compared to earlier 22-made cars...

How different is the new Comfort Suspension (October 22 -) to the previous gen (prior to Oct 22 change)?
- Thread starter Odedoralive
- Start date
I doubt that as well, and it doesn’t take air suspension to reach “comfort”, look at any German SUV that doesn’t have air suspension. They drive great and feel great - mostly due to superior dampeners in the suspension system.

Would be great if someone could verify part numbers of the suspension components so we could all gain a better understanding of what exactly has changed…
If there is evidence the ride is much improved I’d be very interested to know what investment would be required to swap the relevant parts.

I'd be interested in this too. Not that I hate my 2021 Model Y LR ride, but I must admit I wouldn't mind a tad more of a "soft" and comfy suspension tuning.

I have a 2022 MYLR (255/45/20) and 2022 M3LR (235/45/18) and the MY is a better ride but I will say the M3 is ok with the 18’s.
I am genuinely curious if in fact brand new MYs do in fact ride better. I put on 255/45 Vredestein the day after I picked up the MY and run at 38psi. So I don’t really have a feel for the stock 255/40 Goodyears on the induction wheels.

I have a 2021 MY and the ride is great on smoothly paved roads. On bumpier roads, it's rather harsh and busy.
There's also a boominess to the interior. I tried to tweak the hatch screws but not much difference.

2022 MYP
Likely.
It would be nice if Car and Driver tests new suspension version so we have hard numbers to compare.

I received my VIN on Oct 14th. But don't know when exactly the car was built as the info on the car only gives month date 10/22.
Also I've never been in a MY before...never test drove one.
All I know is the suspension is nice, better than my CX-5 I traded in. A good mix of comfort and road feel IMO. Then again I've never owned a floaty suspension luxury car. Owned Civics, Mazda 3, CX-5 and BMW 335i.
On top of this recently announced suspension change it is well reported the MY went through previous suspension improvements over the past year or so. Too many reports on forums and YT comparing older MY to newer MY (M3 also) to dispute that.
I will try to email my SA and see if she can check my VIN for the actual build date to see if it was before or after Oct 7th.

Gotta do my vinyl tubing method if you want to fix that boominess!
On another note, I'm really eager to compare the new suspension to my MPP Coilovers.

Yep! Basically some vinyl tubing 5/16" outer diameter which seems to work for most people (I used 3/8" though) goes into the rubber gasket of your hatch. You then have to re-adjust your hatch stops after. But doing this reduces the flex of your hatch over bumps and should significantly reduce boominess.
Ear pain/Pressure help
Hi I came across ur post regarding the ear pressure. I got MS three weeks ago and having the same issue, extremely bad. I was wondering if you were able to solve the issue, and if so how. Thank you Just adjust the rubber stops - lots of posts on how to do they.
