I have a 2020 Model Y Performance with 21" Uberturbine wheels. I actually overall like the ride, but my wife absolutely hates it. I am looking at getting a 2021 Model S and my wife would like the Model Y, but I have to do something about ride comfort to get the buy-in. I don't want to spend a ton along with the high cost of a New Model S, but need to solve the problem.
1) I've let 2psi, and then 3 more psi out of the tires, I noticed a slight improvement, but not enough to really solve.
2) I know some say switch to smaller wheels with some extra sidewall on the tires. What wheels are suggested? How does this impact ride comfort for those who have done it?
3) I see there are a couple of coilover suspension options. I don't need any extra functionality, just a bit more forgiving ride. How much is installation on this and do I need to do it on top of wheels and tires? I'm worried cost is getting crazy at this point.
What else have others done?
She loves absolutely everything about the 3 from tech, size, storage, speed, look, other driving dynamics, etc. It should be a great fit if I can get the ride comfort a bit more forgiving without breaking the bank. I know the air suspension on the Model S would fix this, but I'm mean and greedy and want it for myself
