M3 Perfomance new adaptive suspension

[jpmillet]

I live in Mexico where there are large and poorly made speed bumps everywhere, and the main reason I prefer the Model S over the 3 is the adaptive suspension that can be raised and lowered. Does this new suspension in the Model 3 Performance allow for that? If not, I will have to wait for the Model Y Performance or treat myself to an S or X.

The new M3 does not have adaptive air suspension like Model S, just adaptive dampers/suspension which will adjust damping for the suspension based on various factors while the Model S has adaptive air suspension which can do more than that like adjusting height of the vehicles

Having said that, it should definitely be a great improvement over the standard suspension in other M3s

The full answer to your question is "No the new model 3 performance does not have a suspension that can be raised and lowered". @Technokrat provided more nuance but if you want to be able to "raise and lower" the suspension, no model 3 from the factory does that, including the recently announced performance model.

S/X and cybertruck are the only teslas with height adjustable suspension.
