Tesla Model Y Suspension Install & Review (Unplugged Performance)

[@Gjeebs]

Please contact Unplugged for updated pricing, the pricing indicated in the video was for lowering springs not coilers. Furthermore, I’d love to add that after years of use, these coilovers continue to offer an amazing ride, with improved handling and I’m loving it!

[@Fredrickarm]

I watched this video the day you released it and couldn't understand why you would feel the need to replace the suspension, now after driving the Y for only two months I feel like I really need this as every little bump in the road jars my back. Thanks for all you do

[@jali276]

Thanks for the Cali shout out, yes all you said it true, no other place like it with great weather all year around, but we do pay a high price to lice here 😔

[@Rightoffrost]

I would love to have you adjust it to zero and do a video on that! Or a back to back comparison on the softest and stiffest setting!

[@Gjeebs]

I will be doing that

[@mattys8525]

@@Gjeebs Sweet! Can't wait for that one. Also stoked to see if you can some how get your hands on a Y with the "Dual Rate Linear Comfort Springs" for comparison. It's a taller, bigger coil, so I am very curious.

Didn’t seem like a big change with the high amount of cost, maybe set it to 1 as in the softness and re-shoot another video. Thanks

[@leonardjona]

Yeah, he mentioned in another comment that he'll be doing a "0" setting test which I'm curious to see how that goes. $3,100 is a decent amount of change (for me) to spend on top of a $50k+ car, so I'm hoping the luxury soft suspension really comes through. I think he was at a "5" setting here and just didn't quite get that reaction I was hoping for. Will I still get one... PROBABLY OK JEEZ! #Jeebz

Great content, my back thanks you. I hope you are planning to do a follow up video on what settings you settled with and diving in deeper with regards the right height. What did UP say about how much you can lower without adding camber hardware. Spacers too - did you add them are you planning to? All good, thank you.

[@MrJimmyparky]

I have 2021 Accord sport and that has more comfortable suspension than my Model Y. I wish I could ride in one with new suspension to see if it's worth it. However, I do have some experience with updating suspension on the old Acura Legend which made it stiff yet smoother with eibach springs and tikiko struts. I like the fact that it is adjustable.

[@Gjeebs]

Yea you get it. Coils are just better overall because of the adjustability. It's all what you want. Some people think the model Y is fine

[@Darrenhd2]

@@Gjeebs I traded my 2018 Nissan Leaf for a 2021 Model Y SR with 19" wheels. The Y is for sure much stiffer than the Leaf. Actually I think Nissan nailed it with the Leaf's suspension. You should drive a 2018 Leaf SL and compare it with the Y. On my Y I lowered the tire pressure to 38 PSI (cold pressure) and it has helped a little bit, but the Leaf handled road imperfections much better than the Y and was a much more comfortable ride. It's really the only thing I don't like about my Model Y...

Tesla produced "stealth" MYP for a short period of time. Basically a MYP with 19" standard wheels. Sounds like the coilovers do make a difference. Did you get an alignment? Maybe I'll get some too. Any referral links for them so you get some credit?

Welcome to LA, hope you have a good visit here. I am curious about this suspension kit for the Model Y.

I am going to have it installed on my 2022 MYLR next week. I would like to seek your comment after a year ride on it and most important is there any rattleing or squeak or other weird noises from the suspension set? Thanks!

[@mini2nut67]

The Model Y is a performance oriented SUV. The Tesla chassis engineers put in a lot of R&D hours and I wouldn’t change a thing. Our DM LR Model Y rides perfect the way it comes from the factory. The ride is very similar to our Audi S3 sedan. We love the sharp European handling, firm ride and super comfortable seats.

[@jewlswild1375]

Wow thank you for acknowledging our R&D work 😭😭 people never understand the sweat and tears that us engineers go through before launch

[@mini2nut67]

@@jewlswild1375 Your welcome, the team did an excellent job. Curious if an air suspension option is coming in 2022 for the Model Y.

[@mini2nut67]

@Moto_Arte_Cafe_LA I can’t agree more. The Y puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. I can’t say that for any ICE that I have owned.

[@icanmanifest]

I disagree completely. I own a BMW 2 series which is a sporty coupe and it has an absolutely better suspension feel. It’s controlled. Handles dips and road imperfections significantly better. The Model Y is a very rough and rattley ride for what your paying. It’s probably all point of reference on this issue but for people used to well done suspension, the Model Y needs help in that area.

[@Mike_Malloy]

Evaluating your new suspension on a smooth highway is not too helpful. The purpose of having suspension is to smooth out ruff roads like any major city would have with potholes, manhole covers, an array of uneven patch work, etc.

[@mrclaytontodd]

If you've never driven the highway near Hawthorne CA, trust me it's more than rough enough to test a new suspension 😂

[@rzu7120]

Are those aftermarket wheels lighter than the stock rims?

[@Gjeebs]

Yes but I couldn’t get an exact weight on them

[@CrazyUnicorn48]

i think you should get those wheels

[@Oaxa1]

Sold me on the aftermarket coilovers With the little info I have, I wonder if setting the height 1/2" lower than stock on a Performance with 21 Ubertines with a 5ish setting would there be any tire contact with wheel well on a hard bump? Add to that front and rear sway bars, would that give the tight turning with a softer ride?

[@glennharris]

Great video thanks. What did it all cost ??

[@Gjeebs]

Thanks! The suspension cost hasn’t changed on their website but the labor has so you have to call and ask. Let them know you saw the video

[@Krazilok]

Honestly man, if all you were trying to do was improve the ride, you would have been better off taking off your heavy induction wheels and get yourself a set of lightweight 19" wheels with some nice thicker tires. My coworker has a MYP with 19" lightweight HR wheels and some Michelin Cup tires on there, that thing flies and rides so much smoother than it did on the stock 21" wheels & tires.

[@fredsmodel3n192]

I run Track edition Signature wheels 19” at 19.6 Lbs each, big difference then the OEM 19” Gemini’s but it’s still a rough ride. But I don’t think the 3500.00 price is worth it. Check out the SV-503 on the Signature wheels website out of San Jose Ca. Take care Fred San Diego Ca.

[@theliangsfamily767]

I have installed the kit. What is the height recommendation for daily drive? I like the car higher with softer driving.

[@sagr5063]

Is UP coil overs giving any noise? Heard from other Tesla owners that they are getting some noise. Also, do you have to reconfigure suspension for every now and then?

There was some noise when you have it on a really soft setting. I am on setting 12/32 now and there is no noise and it feels great

[@andykiz7736]

Do you think if you lowered the suspension to its lowest setting you would see a decrease in WH/MI? The model S has a highway setting for increased range which lowers the car.. might help? Maybe a cool video to show the difference. Also, if you lowered all the way would it still be more comfortable than stock?

[@edgeofsins]

I know you posted this question a while ago. It's still hard to find a good response or test on this. Did you ever find an answer? I just got a MYLR and I think it is already an inch or two too high to comfortably get in and I'm 5' 10". It got me thinking more about a lowered suspension could also make it more efficient. I just want more range so I don't have to go to the super charger as often or I don't have to be super strict on using heat/AC. Currently no way to charge at home

Great Video , thank you for making these videos possible! I own a Tesla S, and I love it, but this is out of the question, however, I do have I have a question for you; Would you really need Coil overs If I happen to get a Tesla Y performance? the question may be a little silly but is better to be sured than spend the money on something I may not need. I think the Performance Tesla Y comes with air suspension... but adding these Coil-overs from unpluggged to a Tesla Y Performance could it make a difference? I appreciate your feet back and opinion.

[@Gjeebs]

Model Y does not have an air suspension and the model Y performance rides on a stiff suspension because it’s a performance model. This suspension would soften the ride but like anything else you should get the car first and then see what you think

[@LamborghiniPlaya]
