Smarter Adaptive Suspension?

[TLLMRRJ]

Just got an email ad from Tesla.

Anyone know if the smarter adaptive suspension is a hardware change, or just software?

they talked about how it remembers and knows rough areas to change suspension. Will be interesting to see how this works/plays out..

That sounds like software only, which means we could get it in an update.

No, it will require red calipers I am sure.

I forgot about that! No hope for us.

OMG. The enhanced suspension with FSD will be phantom braking for phantom potholes, or do an emergency maneuver around the non-existent pothole. Help us all.

This feature was initially enabled last year on S and X models in software version 2022.20.
"Suspension - the car now uses data collected by other Teslas to adjust the suspension for rough street patches."

Alright! One step closer to flying cars!

second row larger screen? From the 2021 refresh?

 

[DerbyDave]

Someone mentioned in another thread that they got the rear screen replaced, and it was replaced with a larger screen, so evidently there are two rear screen sizes in the 2021+ refresh.

Correct. The new part # supersedes the last. So all screens now manufactured will be the larger size and it’s a direct replacement.

Part of a firmware update already released into the fleet. You will notice your suspension will raise sometimes with a message about it raising for a smoother ride.

Do you know how much larger?

Is this for all cars with adaptive suspension or just the refreshed ones?

 

[DerbyDave]

It was for S and X, all years with adaptive suspension from Raven on. From 2022.20 notes:

Tesla Adaptive Suspension​

Available in the United States
Raven Models: S X
Tesla Adaptive Suspension will now adjust ride height for an upcoming rough road section. This adjustment may occur at various locations, subject to availability, as the vehicle downloads rough road map data generated by Tesla cars. The instrument cluster will continue to indicate when the suspension is raised for comfort. To enable this feature, tap Controls > Suspension > Adaptive Suspension Damping, and select the Comfort or Auto setting.

There are various threads discussing the larger rear screen in recent S/X builds. A little searching turned up this one but I'm sure one could something more in-depth with a little effort.

Larger 9.4" rear screen manufacturer date?

Do all MY2023 cars get the 9.4" screen? It seems MY23 includes cars built in November and December. Four out of four Dec build all have the new rear screen (inc the one I have ready to pick up )with the much thinner bezels than the 8" but I haven't been able to see if the November builds get it...

Note this thread was created to discuss possible adaptive suspension changes, not the rear screen.

The physical size of the panel is the same. The bezel was reduced allowing about 1.25” of additional viewable screen. It’s not a huge difference but it is slightly more viewable area on a screen that is small to begin with. With that let’s get back to the adaptive suspension discussion as indicated above.

Does it raise up above medium? I don’t drive around in low, so I don’t know if I’ll ever see the benefit of this feature.

I’ve only had it raise to medium when it detects a “rough road surface”.

 

[DerbyDave]

Surely it also changes the damping to make the rough surface it detects "softer" in addition to the height setting. Doubtful it would make the rough surface rougher, as if you left the vehicle in "sport" mode.
