Tesla is making it the fastest SUV Model Y a bit more relaxed in Australia, according to a well-known shipping and VIN tracker.
Twitter users VedaPrime claims “the newly updated comfort suspension is now confirmed for all Tesla Model Y Performance will be delivered in Australia in 2023″.
The account tracks Tesla cars and tracks the VINs of incoming vehicles to check for specification changes and claims that it has “verified the information and matched it with the actual car.” “.
It indicates the change of some parts on the vehicle as evidence of a hardware change.
We’ve reached out to Tesla to confirm the change and will update this story with their feedback if they get back to us.
Tesla Australia’s website says the Model Y Performance comes with “lowered suspension”, but doesn’t mention any changes to the original tune.
Reports from the US suggest that all Y SUV models made in Berlin and Fremont have switched to a more relaxed suspension tune by the end of 2022.
It’s unclear when Performance models made in Shanghai, where the Australian-powered Teslas are made, made the switch or if the wider range has been updated with a more comfortable suspension.
Ride quality has been one of the biggest criticisms of the Model Y range, not just Performance, since it arrives in Australia in 2022.
Our first review of the rear-wheel drive model says: “It hits potholes and road imperfections so small you’re afraid you’ll catch the next cat’s eye on the road…”
“The Model Y is in dire need of an adaptive suspension system to limit the grueling battle in search of smooth roads. As a low-end family SUV, the ride doesn’t have to be this one, there’s no logic to it.
Tesla is known for rolling out seemingly random changes to its vehicles.
Interior refinements, extras, and hardware updates like heat pumps were made over the life of the Model 3 and Model Y, rather than being reserved for a four-year upgrade. after launch.
Changes to a car’s suspension are typically saved for mid-life updates, but it’s not uncommon for automakers to tune their vehicles to run as part of a running change.
hyundai tuned the suspension on its Ioniq 5 to offer better body control as part of its 2023 model year changes, and the current generation NISSAN Navara has been updated several times with changes to how the coil works.
