Will Tesla offer suspension upgrade ?

[Nimilol]

I'm out of warranty, which is likely why I got a quote.

Makes sense. Logically I should wait until the warranty expires...but I want it now lol

Has anyone retrofitted the MYLR comfort suspension into the MYP?

 

[jjrandorin]

So this guy on Reddit retrofitted the front damper assemblies plus springs-only in the rear and seems to have got good results. Is this the right solution?

1188363-00-H - front left damper assm
1188368-00-H - front right damper assm
1188474-00-B qty 2 - rear spring

I contacted my SC and they offered to supply and fit but the rear springs would be revision C and the front assemblies were revision E.

So my questions for anyone in the know:
- Are these the right parts to improve my 2020 Y?
- Is there a need to replace the rear shock as well as the spring, for a whole solution? I guess this depends on the unknown question of what Tesla really changed but opinions welcome.

Thanks

Based on the text in that reddit screenshot (I dont read reddit) that same person came here to TMC and posted a thread with that same exact text in it. They then proceeded to berate anyone here who disagreed with them, and also sound like they were here just to push content to some other website. We ended up closing their account here. Some may remember the thread, but I dont think its visible any longer since we closed that persons account.

@AtlantaMCR so how hard is "DIY"? I have the tools and know-how to do wheels, brake pads and rotors - just how much more involved is this? I'm guessing most of it is bolts with thread locker and torquing correctly? What's your experience level and how long did it take you?

I'll probably get Tesla to do it, but curious.

If you can change brake pads and rotors you can do this.
Everything I’ve read states that tesla wont do it.

Any guides on this?

See my previous post here that has a link to a Reddit thread. Basically follow online tesla manual (linked) and watch some YT videos on coil over install.

The Tesla service center did the upgrade for me,

You might want to include more info.

What did you order?
How much did they charge you for the install?
What differences did the upgrade make?

 

[JohnB007]

Perhaps Tesla service center will upgrade if the vehicle is out of warranty?

Yes they offered to do it for me and I'm out of warranty.

Oh that's one thing to look forward to in 6 months when warranty expires...

How do you like the upgrade?

All my parts finally came in today. I opted for the rear springs too because the part has been revised according to the numbers. Im deciding if i want to add a lift kit so they wont be installed for a bit. It took 1-2 months for the service center to receive the parts.

If you have both old and new springs off the car, is it possible if you can do a comparison of them? If they are the same length unload, number of coils etc

Someone else posted they look identical. I wasn't going to order but the part number was revised so I figured might as well change them. It was an extra $200 I believe,

I wish SC does the upgrade, really want a car that's not trying to break my back, especially when I paid $60K+ for the car, think it's the least Tesla can do for those who bought at the top. Don't mind paying extra / over paying, but expect a comfortable ride and quieter ride (cargo cover helps a bit) those are my two complaints.

looks are irrelevant.
coil spring deflection rates can be linear, progressive, stronger, weaker, and all in the same coil gauge and width.
steel is a marvelously engineered material.

Did you ever complete this? did you do a lift?

 

[dragthewaters]

My local service center denied 2 requests to order the comfort suspension parts for my 2021 MYLR. But I drove past the Spokane WA service center and they were happy to order. $833 total plus tax.

Parts ordered:
• ⁠Front Left: 1188363-00-H (x1)
• ⁠Front Right: 1188368-00-H (x1)
• ⁠Rear Shock: 1188463-00-E (x2)
• ⁠Rear Spring: 1188474-00-C (x2)

Is there a lift kit out there for a very small lift? I don't want anything greater than 1" lift. Ideally slightly less.
