I have upgraded the shocks on many of my performance cars.
Usually cost a couple thousand dollars, but the results are wonderful. Better ride, control and adjustability.
Imaging that Tesla will release a suspension package when they catch their breath. Takes significant manpower and funds to fully develop these components.
For fairness to Tesla, their current suspension systems are superior to many of their competitors. Mercedes, previous (but not recent) BMW' and of course the amazing Jaguars do a wonderful job as well, but Tesla's coil and air suspensions provide a pretty good comprimise of handling, control, quiet and comfort.
A week ago I needed to make an emergency off ramp maneuver. The X amazed me with it's composure and control. Far better than the Jeep Grand Cherokee I drove previously.
