The adjusters are knurled wheels on top of the struts and are adjusted by hand.
Most of this is summarised in the other thread you found, but the main result (and what I really wanted to fix) was that the unsettled bounciness that was present at lower speeds up to around 40mph. It always seemed like unless the road was glass smooth that the car was bouncing and jiggling around, and it was quite simply unpleasant (IMHO) and gave the same impression that you get in a badly lowered hot hatch.
You know, I went round in circles on colours. My 2019 3 was white/black and I quite like that combo, but I reckon that dark colours suit the Y better. So that meant black, blue or grey. I love black when it's clean and polished but we all know that keeping black cars like that is tough. So it was blue or grey. I would have been happy with either, but I reckon the grey hides the dirt a little better, so that's what I got.Best combo as well
@ajmorr.is I have been reading your updates on the updated dampers, I have had my MYLR for 3 weeks and really struggle with the low speed ride on my local roads and was keen to get an update if you think the upgrade is still worth it.
Absolutely no regrets at all. I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s perfect & glass smooth as the springs & overall geometry of the suspension still have a say in the ride but I don’t have any issues with the low speed bounciness at all any more.
You have to drive a Model 3 to know how quiet and less bouncy the Y is. Not saying it is great but in relative terms it’s miles better than a 3. I think this is one thing Tesla needs their automotive engineers to learn from may be a Range Rover rather than German companies. It is a comfort car with some driver focus on M3p or MYP. But other cars can have some suspension work that can make it less jiggly.
I'd argue it depends which model year both are.
I had the Q1 2021 Model 3 and current Q4 2023 Model Y (that people say has an improved suspension). I test drove a Model Y but that had an unbelievable plush ride more or less like a Range rover (Velar and Evoque ones). May be that suspension was tweaked or something. Anyhow my car’s ride isn’t that great eventhough it is the latest one. But miles better than the 3 I had. That way I can’t complain.
I cannot pm you on this platform but I have found you on FB on a telsa group so will messenger you on that, thanks very much.South Manchester, not far from the airport. Drop me a PM
Tesla swapped the suspension of the 3 out to comfort suspension similar or same time they did a Y. We test drove a Y and 3 back to back before getting a 2023 Model 3. The Model 3 is more comfortable suspension wise than the Model Y. Only time this will be different is different years with differing campers like you see comparing.
I test drove an early UK Y. I think it was in spring 22. The ride was really awful. It immediately put me off the Y. Then I had a drive of a 2023 Y in the US in October last year and it was like driving a different car. So, I then did a test drive in Nov of a UK Y and had the same experience. On the back of that, I ordered one.
