[UK] Model Y revised suspension - inc retrofit
- Thread starter a900ss
- Start date
I've read that all MYs built after 1st Jan in shanghai will have the 'comfort' suspension. I have one coming on Grande New Jersey so am hoping that's right.. Tesla China confirms Model Y Comfort Suspension has been added to Giga Shanghai's production lines

See above for link. This seems to be more thorough than slight amends. It appears to be a definite softening.

Sorry I just read the linked article. I’d be surprised if Shanghai haven’t been using this set up since Oct 22. The difference between early and late 2022 cars is noticeable. Mine is a non USS car with a 560 Vin.
My set up feels about BMW M Sport (on run flat) stiff. No issue on potholed roads but firm.
The additional question is then... is there a retrofit possible for our 22 MYs?

It would be good news if there was. Free would be even betterThe additional question is then... is there a retrofit possible for our 22 MYs?
Pretty sure there’s another thread on the retrofit, speculation was it’s just a revised damper or shock that massively improved things. Swapping out a couple of suspension parts is a relatively cheap tho g to do.
As for whether your car has it, if you know the vin you can work out the build date, and if you know when it changed you can have a good idea.

All a bit subjective but I received an inventory MYP in January which, whilst a bit taught, was fine for my tastes. I had come from a M3P however. Mainly for practicality, it's now on TSportline 19s and absolutely fine. I wouldn't want it any softer for sure. My guess is that it may already have been tweaked.
I’ve had a search of TMC and the topic is talked about in several threads but I couldn’t find the specific one I was thinking of to link to
I saw some were saying Tesla would, some saying they wouldn’t sell the parts, some just say the rear needs doing and the parts are circa $500.
I’m just about to get a used 22 MYLR (with USS
) so started looking around . Asked a few local “Tesla approved “ garages they said not interested . I’m assuming that can get the parts ok from Tesla , just that they won’t for them ? . But you never know .Will prob see how I go anyways / turns out the new Tesla I had for test drive back in Jan had old suspension and it seemed fine . ( I assumed it was new model )
