Please note: For Model Y Induction wheels: The segments should be installed installed clockwise. For the Model 3/Y Uberturbine wheels: The segments should be installed installed counter-clockwise. Applying the clear film is a very important step in the installation process because it protects the wheels long term from scratching.

Picked up my ‘23 MYP in early June and within a week had a set of the T-Sportline 18” TSS wheels and Michelin AS4 tires on. The larger sidewall in combination with the updated suspension has the car riding like a dream. Pre-purchase I thought i would have to go the coilover route, but I’m very happy with the current ride. I may end up doing springs to get the car to sit a little lower however.

@veryslyfox Жыл бұрын

Idk about your idea of "riding like a dream". I've ridden in a 23 MY AWD 19" with comfort suspension, and the ride is very harsh. I can feel every little bump. The only car with a harsher ride that I've ridden is a Ferrari. I've driven dozens of cars over the years, from Benzes and BMWs to Hondas, Hyundai, Ford, Chevy, . The Y's ride is terrible.

@zerocooling001 9 ай бұрын

I have 23 myp and I bought tss t-Sportline 18". what kind of suspension did you install it ?

@michaelhooker526 9 ай бұрын

I only changed the wheels and tires. Didn’t touch the suspension. Living in buffalo NY with lots of bumps in the road, and bout 6k miles on the car, I still say the ride is quite comfortable and not harsh in the least bit.

@theclifbar Жыл бұрын

Could you run a G-force meter app on your phone so that we can quantify the suspension improvements? One is called Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite. Love your suspension videos, it's definitely the biggest problem for M3/MY.

@garydmercer 20 күн бұрын

I have 19 inch wheels on my 2021 Tesla model 3 rear wheel drive. It is in the shop for a minor repair and Tesla gave me a loaner. The loaner has 18 inch wheels and has a much rougher ride and noisey suspension than my Tesla. I wonder if the former owner put suspension modifications on this car as it is night and day compared to the loaner car from Tesla? I have to look into this further and figure out why my ride is so smooth and quiet.

@momovuyisich8945 Жыл бұрын

My Pirelli P zero ELECT tires made such an improvement to the ride quality and noise, I no longer have any desire to upgrade the suspension. Here is a mini review with an actual road test: goodnewtimes.blogspot.com/2023/06/great-tires-for-tesla-y.html

Compared with the stock suspension, how much did ur ride quality got better?

@teslatim78 4 ай бұрын

@@JetBlackTM9 after it was put on I had to go back about a month later because the spring is settled too low. So after a quick readjustment, I had to dial the rears in just a little bit stiffer. But it rides like it’s on a cloud right now. I believe the fronts are set at a 15, and the rears are at a 17, but I would have to double check. But it was noticeably better.

@matthewdiaz6478 Жыл бұрын

It is not inevitable to curb your wheel. I have had my p51's on my 16 mustang gt since 2017 and have yet to do so. With all the tech on the Tesla y perf I have I hopefully can continue the trend.

@zevcentric Жыл бұрын

The off the shelf R&T are way stiffer than the Teins with stock springs. The Redwood Ohlins are softer than the standard Ohlins that are $3190 retail.

@LBrisk01 Жыл бұрын

@@zevcentric I have the 8/9 KG soft Swift springs with the kit. The entire coilover setup smooths out bumps way better than the stock suspension but keeps it tight around turns and doesn’t feel like you’re in a bounce house. It was really the best of both worlds for me. I didn’t find the Redwood version to be worth the added cost since they both have the DFV, same dampers, and I customized the Swift springs.

This should be changed by Tesla IMHO. Thanks for your informative posts on Tesla. Cheers!

This is very relative. We have installed over 30 sets in Fremont, CA. I would say floaty setup 0 being stiff and 16 being max soft, try 14 front and rear. If you want more less float then do 8.

I have a question not related to this topic but a good solution could help a lot of people that store their Tesla’s during the winter months while heading down south. I know that it’s important to keep the car connected to power the whole period with charge limit set to 50% as that is the sweet spot for lithium Ion batteries but what about the breaks I read an article where someone came back from his trip and the break pads where stuck to the discs l and ended up costing him a full break job My question : Is there a way to store the car in neutral so the disc pads are not engaged (same as when in neutral) The car would be stored in a garage so there would be no risk of it rolling away. Thank you in advance for those who can assist

@LBrisk01 Жыл бұрын

That usually only happens if water gets in the brake pad and then is frozen while sitting. Before parking you can try blowing some lubrication into the brake pad. And if they get stuck or are making contact because they’re frozen, just drive the car. As the wheels speed and the brake is pushed against the hub it should heat up and come apart. Don’t know how that guy you mentioned needed a full brake job. Sounded like he had other issues than it just being frozen.

Blue cruise will bias its lane holding away from traffic in an adjacent lane, where autopilot, and I assume FSD, just sits stubbornly in the center of the lane while passing semi trunks,etc. BC drives more like I do.

I don't like the rim things.. I don't own a tesla, but I've rented many and done about 5 overnight test drives. I have over 20k miles combined in 8-12 different teslas. I've NEVER curbed a tesla wheel - why? Because I was driving them like I do my own vehicle.. pay attention to what you're doing. Am I perfect? No.. have I curbed a wheel in a different vehicle? Yup..once or twice. But I also didn't have all the cameras and such and be able to very easily see exactly where the curbs were.

Wouldn’t recommend changing your suspension on a Tesla. Get a 2023 long range MY if you want a good suspension. Tesla will probably void your warranty if anything happens with your suspension

@charliewilliams1474 Жыл бұрын

But wouldnt you have a warranty with the company you bought your new suspension from? Does changing suspension on Tesla void warranty? Like all car manufacturers, Tesla has to abide by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which prohibits them from canceling the new car warranty on your Tesla Model 3. However, if you make the modifications and your car has trouble down the road, Tesla may claim that the problem stems from your modified suspension.Mar 20, 2023

@LBrisk01 Жыл бұрын

You’re replacing your suspension so what would you be trying to have Tesla cover anyway? A third party coilover?

@zevcentric Жыл бұрын

Voiding warranty is a very general statement and not true. They might refuse suspension service for things suspension related if you have coilovers or aftermarket arms. This would not apply to aftermarket tein damper replacement since you are not changing springs or suspension geometry. They should not void a battery or monitor warranty because you did suspension work.
