I'd surprised if the demo cars have anything special done to them since they get cycled through and re-sold fairly quickly.

Seems that a lot MY owners are replacing their dampers with the Tein Endurapro kit. Seems quite cheap at around £500 before fitting for the adjustable Pro version and £450 for the non adjustable version. I am tempted but might wait until my warranty runs out.
Lots of reviews on US roads but I am yet to see a review on uk roads!

I have a BMW 330D with coil overs that my wife now drives, the suspension only added £30 to the premium. Hopefully it wouldn't be too much, especially if the ride height is kept the same.
I fitted them to mine. What would you like to know?
£0 impact on mine as the ride height is unchanged.

How much better are they than the standard suspension on uk roads? Did you stick with the standard springs? How much was fitting? Thanks!

Scrap that, just found your comprehensive thread and review in the MY area. Looks like a worthy upgrade to me!

I thought it was worth adding a thread here in the Model Y Driving Dynamics section to talk about the above suspension upgrade. There is a good thread in the Model 3 area here Tein EnduraPro Plus - Review and I’m sure a lot of it is transferable and relevant to both models, but there are...

I would think that this would be a modification you need to tell your insurer about & that it voids Tesla warranty?Scrap that, just found your comprehensive thread and review in the MY area. Looks like a worthy upgrade to me!

You’ll need to tell your insurance. As for warranty, I believe it’ll only void any warranty around the suspension
Would be good to know how the Tein damper upgrade compares with the 2023 comfort suspension. Anyone aware of any comparisons? It’s still not too late to cancel my order and get a low mileage 22 model for probably a £15k discount!

Obviously subjective, but from what I have read quite a few owners of 2023 cars with comfort are changing to Tein as it’s better. The main advantage is that you can adjust the Tein to your preference so you are more likely to be able to fine tune it.
You should get a 22 MY as you can get ultra sonic sensors and with HW3 256gb and 16 ram vs 128gb and 8gb.
I guess you mean that your 2023 Y is improved with the Teins?
But it seems the new comfort suspension was only introduced in the factory into UK builds from March, so its probably only cars delivers from May onwards that have it.
What do you think would be a reasonable number of hours for a workshop to do the swap? I may do it myself, but if the cost isn’t crazy I might just see if I can find a local fitter.

How do you alter the Teins firmness? Can't seem to find any videos on YouTube... And do they do them in any other colour than that horrible green?
