It’s pretty obvious even from a distance, especially when following what cars are handling our swiss cheese roads better than others. I wasn’t prepared to even try and keep up with them.

There is a stretch of road I have to try to get along in my early MIC Model Y. I know exactly what you mean. Anything less than smooth new asphalt sees me having to reduce progress to a relative crawl.
I guess that's what happens when you churn out cars without testing them in different environments or countries, and rely on over the air updates to try to get them to work.
People sometimes just make things up to match their own imagined scenarios.
Think what you like. The suspension on the MIC Model Y is utter dogshit. Tesla conceded as much when they had to revise it for UK market within months of launch as even fanboi reviewers described it as appalling. But hey, I guess being jostled around like being in a moshpit is a feature not a bug to Tesla apologists.
Does the UK Tesla Model Y have different suspension components to those supplied in other countries? I was under the impression that the suspension had been improved for all markets in more recent cars. If this was a change that was required specifically because of UK roads then I bow to your greater knowledge. [Go easy on the inflammatory language ... it doesn't add anything to your points.]
Volvo electronics are the worst in the business...and that’s on their ice cars..I wouldn’t trust the electric car to be reliable and I certainly wouldn’t trust their dealer network to be able to more than scratch their head, change the wrong part and charge you a non-refundable fortune.....just my opinion

Is it that bad?
Would you say it’s under-damped / too firm / harsh or crashy?
Wondering if anyone has fitted aftermarket upgrades. Seems like this model is ripe for it. I guess not if they’re mostly leased or on PCP deals.
There are no facts..your car (of whatever make) could be a Friday car, a lemon...or a Wednesday car that’s never let you down
Volvo has worst electronics!? are you sure about that!?Volvo electronics are the worst in the business...and that’s on their ice cars..I wouldn’t trust the electric car to be reliable and I certainly wouldn’t trust their dealer network to be able to more than scratch their head, change the wrong part and charge you a non-refundable fortune.....just my opinion
No. I didn't claim that. However I don't doubt that the Model Y was tested in "different environments". And I don't think that the suspension revisions were from suddenly realising that UK roads were so different to the rest of the world! Seems like a good thing that any car company should make changes to improve on their initial efforts. For all markets. I don't think many (any?) vehicles arrive on the market as a new model without revisions to the initial design after the first period of use? Many people refuse to buy a newly released model for the very reason that early examples are unlikely to be without issues. I don't defend Tesla over any other vehicle manufacturer but I also don't make out that Tesla is somehow worse than every other based on my own imagined version of their failings.
