My Tesla Suspension is Fixed! (How it SHOULD Be) 

I would probably play with the settings a little more and probably set the Front at around 0-2 for max comfort to the driver, but the Back around 3-5. This will help level out the car when you have weight in the back trunk or passengers in the back seats. Also, anytime you accelerate, the back wont come down as much at a 3-5 compared to the 0 where the G forces seem to it sink down to the ground a lot.

Great video. I've ordered a MYLR on 19". Did a test drive, but am still a bit worried about the suspension. Knowing I've got this option to improve it is great !!!

Great content. Suspension feel is very subjective to your point. I love my MYP suspension. I’ve always favored vehicles with firm suspensions with great road feel. Case in point was my 2003 BMW 330XI manual that I still had up to a couple years ago. I much preferred the ride compared to the newer, non M BMW’s. At some point, maybe all Tesla models will allow buyers to configure the suspensions to their liking.

I absolutely enjoy and look forward to your videos just for the entertainment that you bring. That Halo bit had me in TEARS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great video as always. I've got my order in for the UP Luxury Coilover Kit and I'm just waiting for delivery. I'm not looking to try out the racetrack anytime soon (even though I did just spring for the $2K boost to my '21 MYLR and... oof! quick!) so I'm looking for a more comfy ride for sure. So.... 0 is it is! Thanks, brother.

I just placed an order for my Tesla Model Y LR, I’m so excited I can’t wait!

Perspective is spot on. Definitely interested in future content from you.

I had a Model S with air supsension.. it wasn't more cushy (on the 2014) it allowed the car to move higher or lower, but the overall ride quality was not better.. (pre raven models of course) in the higher suspension, where I would place it when I had my bike rack on the trailer hitch... it would be so rough of a ride.

I have the '23 Performance with 21" Uberturbines. Very curious about how it will ride with the Unplugged coilovers. I currently reside in Colorado and it's better to have the stock ride height and clearance for snow conditions, so I will likely not drop it at all unless we relocate to a warmer state. Good content. Glad I found you.

If setting zero is best it suggests there needs to extension of damper range. Equivalent to fractional or negative settings - lower than zero. More sophisticated bushings attaching mass supporting load paths may be needed to get rid of the crashing noise (booming / banging) when going over sharp bumps. Tuning that out with springs / dampers may not be possible. Some bushing changes will worsen handling - which is why race cars often get Heim joints or urethane bushings. More suspension control at the expense of a harsher and noisier ride. Squat or dive is affected by suspension geometry. For instance, tipping the angle of the front wishbone down at the front diminishes dive and squat - although at some ride quality penalty. As you said, lots of tradeoffs.

This is the Video We all have been waiting for, I know I asked you to set it to zero because that’s the reason why anyone would pay for a smoother ride. I’m in San Diego so if you ever take the ride down, let me know I like to get a feel for it. Get with Up Performance and see if you can get us a discount code, they can sell more and I would take a drive up to get this installed in my Y. Thanks Fred San Diego California

Nice video, good to see you tinkering with the settings. I would probably go with setting 0 and not lower the suspension because my driveway is outrageously steep, it’s ike a launch ramp 25% grade 100 feet long 30% at the bottom. So, it would bottom one corner of the car if I were to attempt it at speed. The top is fine, but the bottom of the drive is so crazy that an underinflated tire can actually come of the rim making the corner.

Great video. I have brand new Y with stock 19 Ws. I prefer as smooth as possible. Nice to know about the options though. Just ordered my pucs through your link :)

Need a stock height non adjustable replacement. Maybe just a spring swap would do it. Unplugged has a mild coil spring replacement in the future on their website.

Great video! I’ll keep this in mind when I get my MY.

Good observations and suggestions for Tesla to study suspension options of other vehicles. After multiple MY test drives - convinced an adjustable or fixed luxury suspension is well worth an upgrade.

Was missing clip to stabilize washer neck as well. Mobile tech added one when fixing another issue. He wasn’t sure if it was needed but agreed it appeared to be missing.

Thank you for your video.How is your drive after a year? What is the setting you use now?

Thanks for the video. You mentioned a sound that was not there before. How often do you get this sound and does it bother you? Seems like this might be a general coil over issue. I am also looking at Redwood Öhlins DFV Coilovers, but even for those I hear about some noise being introduced.

Great video ! Do you know how it is compared to Redwood, which is based on Ohlins dampers ?

an interesting type of computer controlled shock absorbers use ferrofluid and electromagnetic coil that varies the viscosity of the ferrofluid

Let’s hope there are are some upgrades to the suspension on the Model Ys coming out of Austin this quarter. Will average new owners be able to see if the legacy coil springs have been upgraded especially since the Austin cars are 400 pounds lighter? Or, will we all have to wait until Sandy Munro does a teardown of the Austin Model Y?

I have my Model Y LR with UP luxury coilovers at stock height. Great improvement over stock suspension. Love them and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a softer ride.

I would never occur to me to do these things to a Tesla. Thank you for the info 😊👍

The suspension is fine. I don’t get the complaints at all. I just picked up my model y performance on 2/19 and it’s a smoother ride than my Infiniti QX70 that I had before. Feels the same as my wife’s 2019 rav4 as well!

What do you think of MacPherson struts? KIA adjusted theirs to suit Australian roads for their EV6. Was buying one, now not because of a price hike. But they listened to their clients provided an appropriate kit built in. Yep agreed Tesla should be doing the same.

I love my Unplugged Performance Luxury Coilover Suspension (Model Y Long Range). Firm but comfortable even at the softest setting. Your can easily reach in and adjust the rear if you have not lowered the car. I cannot say enough about the great folks at Unplugged. I recommend them for installation. They were more than fair solving a third party installation problem I had.

Glad the black wheels are back!

I know it would be a lot of work, but I would love to see if the setting 0/32 (?) extremes effect anything major of note on the cars performance. Like 0-60 times (with the mid-point for "control") and also range. Maybe like a 50 mile loop or something that doesn't take all day, to see if there is any large statistical difference.

This was a good video. I was wondering what it would ride like at 0.

There’s a compromise for total comfort and handling/road feel. Straight line is one thing but turning, Braking, evasive maneuvers (moose test) is another. The 2023 Y Performance is firm and pretty comfortable even compared with my 23 Y LR 19. (LR is softer but less planted)

Thanks for this video. I cancelled my UP luxury coil overs for my MYP that I've been waiting for 6 months after watching this. I could not stand all the rattles and squeaks in my MS Plaid which led me to sell the damn car at a loss. I don't want to risk spending thousands of $$$ just so I can worry about another source of rattle.

Does it make sense to adjust the standard Tesla shocks without installing the Unplugged coils ? Thanks, Alex

Hi there? I have a question for you .. Did you adjusted all front and rear all of them setting 0 filled softly the # 32 ? Thank you very much!

Hi, ive been watching all your vids with your MY, any updates with your unplugged suspension now? Any noise? Is it still drives better now or has it change anything?

How does it compare setting 0 UP with 2023 comfort suspension? Would you put UP on 2023?

Love your channel man. Your hilarious & very informative videos. RU-vids need to have some humor in their videos 😂🤣

How do you worry about warranty being voided for the suspension parts? That's my biggest concern. After talking to unplugged performance and knowing all the rules, I'm just super paranoid about Tesla saying that something is not covered because I have the aftermarket part

Great presentation. You're a funny guy, but in all seriousness, I really appreciated your video. My 2018 Model 3 is pretty comfortable, but I would appreciate a smoother ride. Now that Tesla is coming out with their "comfort suspension" for the Model Y and eventually Model 3, I'm starting to look for options and this helped a lot. Cheers.

Also to add to my previous comment that car seat in the backseat with my kid looks like he's going through crazy amounts of ups and downs bumpiness. Do you know if the back seat improvement with the coilovers?

I like that garage floor. Respect.

Hi, did you ever find out the answer regarding why the suspension is so stiff in the MY?

When LR-MY arrives looking to upgrade the suspension. Driving family and friends around often for trips - will be more enjoyable with more supple (softer suspension) than what we experienced on stock MY suspension.

Great job! When I eventually get me MYLR, I will definitely consider this Unplugged Performance suspension. I've already been on their website. By the way, do you have a unibrow?

My main concern when I tried th y in Norway. Consern is the stiffness in the car

On my 21 M3P, I switched to 18in wheels/tires and dropped the psi to 38. Ride is smoother and a bit softer. I live in SF so you still feel the crappy roads and stupid pot holes but a bit better than having 20 inch at 42 psi. I only put 42 psi when road-tripping for maximum efficiency. I also don’t track my car so this set up works.

Ur awesome and humor w tips is great combo ty

Great info thank.

What kind of rear trunk car mat are those?

What's your honest opinion on the MagBak charger? I've considered it but a hundred bucks?!?! Yikes! Otherwise, I love the content, keep it up!

Fyi, the washer fluid neck can be pulled out.

the more I age, the more i value comfort over other performance criteria. It's not a judgement AGAINst anything but rather a recognition that pain (lack there of) matters more as i get older. Thanks

This was just what I wanted to know. Thank you. Great video!

I have 19s on my 2018 model 3 long range

Have you ever considered Ohlins DFV? Their's is little more pricy at $3800. I wonder how much different their's is compared to Unplugged.

You should’ve gotten a lighter aluminum low profile jack, that one you got looks heavy AF.

How does this compare to the comfort suspension that Tesla came out with for the 2022 MY LR? Would a new MY LR benefit from this suspension, or is Tesla’s new comfort suspension on par with this, or is it better than this?

How is the cornering with the setting at zero? How much more body roll? I’d also be interested to see if there is a measurable difference in range with the stiffer or softer settings.

Can you make a video of the MY doing donuts or drifting?

great tesla video

My 2021 M3sr+ doesnt have this adjustment option i guess. The ride is worse than my 2010 nissan altima with original shocks/struts. Why would i expect a smooth ride for $45k? Silly me.

Dude, i ordered this cuz of yr vids. I going to set it to zero. The roads suck here in St Paul . I cant wait to drive with out my fillings rattling out of my mouth.

Highlight of the video has to be the transition track to setting zero.

5:40 Just look at that effect from droplets on the Roof...

Nice video. Have had my Y since November. I notice when I back up in a parking lot the Y will not stop automatically to prevent a crash. Am I missing something? I noticed it stopped automatically when driving on a freeway to avoid a crash. Also like your zero setting suspension and wish I could add it to my Y in Texas. Tesla should include this suspension with the car at the current sales price. Take care, Guy

I think it may be the weight of the vehicle. the new Y may have less weight IMO.

One year later do you still love the zero setting? Also does the body roll a lot in corners in the zero setting

Hi,I'm from Hong Kong,I just got my Model Y SR,so I wanna ask a question,does the coil is it will fit the SR version?they said just for AWD,so I dun know is it fit my RWD

If you just got the softer springs (coming soon) would that give a noticeably softer ride or do you need the shocks too?

what would be a solution for those of us that live in Canada?

Love your videos man!!! How is your upper control arms? Some guy told me it has issues every 20,000 miles, what do you think about it? Thank you for your content

Still debating about changing my suspension. On the adjustment, it looks like there are half click? True?

Does it void the warranty when you replace the suspension??

I hate the ride on my Y Performance,feels like a paint shaker often,and this is coming from a BMW M4 previous owner which felt like a Lincoln Town car in comparison.

Why they didn't set them to 0 when they were installed? There must be a reason.

Is this stock suspension or all Teslas have custom suspension just like that?

Would adding unplugged coil overs void warranty?

I bought the unplugged luxury coilovers for my 2022 Y long range with 19” wheels. Meh. A bit better. Had the occasion to rent a 2022 Y long range with 20” wheels. The rental had mismatched front and rear non ev tires. The ride was excellent. Headed back to unplugged soon to get them to look at it and see what they can do.

People save your money. The jack pucks are absolutely not needed. Especially if you have a jack that has those rubber on. Even if you don't have the rubber on the jack it's not needed.

Was 32 setting stiffer than stock?

I know you bought your Tesla…. I tend to prefer leasing… my question is if I lease a model y do you know if Tesla would take issue with me putting this suspension system on a leased car…. Not sure if you know the answer would love to know…

I might take u up on those wheels

Physics is fun!

04:00 "S and H, stiff and... hard" =D

PSA...always assume the jack and hydaulics will fail, because they can and do...use jack stands.

My Stock LR Model Y with 20 inch wheels feels like a setting of 100. LOL. I’m really considering getting 19 inch wheels with more forgiving tires to soften the ride. Wife almost refuses to ride in the Tesla which I’m not sure if that’s such a bad thing. :-)

Does anyone know which setting between 0-32 is equivalent to stock? 16 maybe?

Wow, that OnlyFans plug lol. Also, you said MagBak charges your car @ 7:14 :D I wish Unplugged had a Model Y we can compare before/after though, I feel like it's still placebo/gimmicky... when I get my MYLR this year (hopefully) I'll probably drive down to Hawthorne because of you -.-

Sounds like a loud cabin.

I am curious if Tesla will be offering an air suspension option for the Model Y.

I've been driving BMWs for the last three cars. The suspension on the '21 M3LR seems quite similar to the 3 series BMW and even to the 5 series, but a wee bite softer would be nice. On the 0-32 scale did you test to see where the standard Tesla suspension might be? That would be interesting to know.

Model Y is too stiff for me, I prefer the softer feel like in model S.

Halo theme song 🤣

what I really would kill for would be to have a factory air ride setup.

Ioniq 5 loaner? Video coming soon?

S stands for Slow, and H stands for Hustlin'

I can hear the stiffness through the headphones.

I saw you at the Del taco wedding 💒 🌯

So how much was the total? was this sorry late to the channel

Suspention and Tires are officially negating the fuel saving 😂
