Two questions about a new Y

[Robocheme]

I am considering taking advantage of the one time FSD transfer offer and trading in my 2020 Y for a new one. I have two questions.

Has the suspension for the non-performance LR been improved since 2020? From Day 1 back in May of 2020, I have hated the harsh ride . I’ve heard rumors that the suspension is smoother now, but is this true?

If I order a new Y now, will it come with HW 4?

Are there any other significant differences between a 2023 Y and a 2020 Y?

Thanks in advance

Cliff

Yes and Yes

 

[Yelobird]

Yes and yes as above and having done the same 2020 to upgrade myself the list of improvements since then is actually rather large. I had listed over 25 if not more.

In addition to the suspension improvements, the other big difference between 2020 and 2023 in terms of overall feel of quality is the reduction of hard plastics in the cabin. The door pockets have carpet, there’s more alcantara, there’s carpet on the inside of the lower C pillar/door frame, carpet on the inside of the rear hatch…all these spots used to be hard plastic. It all adds up to a noticeable improvement in quietness/overall cabin feel.

EDIT: I forgot about another big one in the quietness department, which is the double paned glass. I think that was added in ‘22.

That’s not to say the cabin is now super nice, but I’ll say it’s finally adequate for a $50k vehicle.

And yes, as of within the last month or two, everything gets HW4.

Great! any chance you can share that list? I need help in rationalizing spending the extra cash for the trade.

I rented a MYLR recently. All of these little things really add up and make a noticeable difference when compared to my MYP 2021 interior.

I was also surprised how quick and powerful the MYLR was. AND it had phenomenal range!

I was actually pretty miffed how nice that MYLR was compared to my MYP

MYLR ! That’s the one

The 2023 MYLR comes with "Mud flaps and ppf"??? Please confirm that.

Can’t confirm in Every region but I am certain most all snow type areas they do. In fact even my 2020 they reached out a year later and sent me both as they are standard in IL at no cost. Note that when I say PPF it’s the rear door small segment not the car or other for clarity.

Actually they came out at the end of '20

Thanks for the reply. The PPF on the front and bottom door panels was something I did immediately when I got my MY in 2020, so I'd be doing it again. It has saved the paint from many a rock chip (at least there are none now on the car after 48K miles, many on dirt roads)

I was not given mud flaps, nor offered them and I live upstate NY, but sometimes where I live is grouped into the NYC metropolitan area, so maybe they don't offer it there. The PPF made the flaps superfluous.

What part of the state are you from? Only the PPF side protection is standard in Naperville. No mud flaps.

 

[kpanda17]

You guys are lucky, I got nada on both my Ts
Had to add after
I did all of the usual inside and outside protections
Did 4x flaps and entire front, side and rockers PPF
Also did rhe rear bumper/hatch bottom edge strip

Unusual. I’m near Naperville. Everyone I talked to said while it wasn’t present on delivery in all cases they simply asked and they sent both to them. Many thread posts on this.

Tesla Model Y now includes PPF and mud flaps in select markets [Update].

Not included in Colorado. Definitely a snow area and we use lots of sand on the roads for traction. I ordered an aftermarket set from amazon. They were inexpensive and fit well.

Great list! Additionally, there is a thread that was keeping track of Model Y changes over time (though it's now been about 7-8 months since being last updated) - you might find additional items there - Model Y changes over time

Not unusual at all. None of the cars being delivered at the Naperville/Lisle location have the mud flaps. The link you shared is from Canada, so not very relevant to us in IL.

Ok simply the first article I could find. As stated when most arrived at the Tesla store to get car IF they were not on car (note they don’t always know where a car is going) simply asking them often got a no problem will send to you Or in some cases a mobile tech will visit to add them. In the IL thread many have said the same I’m simply sharing.

here is a more “relevant“ link that includes IL, KS, and other confirmation:
