INSTALLING A LUXURY SUSPENSION ON A TESLA MODEL 3 + BEFORE AND AFTER TEST

EV Channels Review

This video details the installation of the Unplugged Performance Luxury suspension kit, including dual-rate springs and camber arms, on a 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus. The reviewer highlights the significant improvement in ride comfort, particularly over smaller road imperfections, which reduces NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness). While the suspension doesn't drastically alter the experience over larger bumps like speed bumps, it excels at smoothing out the road surface. The dual-rate springs are explained as having a softer initial travel for comfort and stiffening for aggressive driving. The camber arms are noted for their potential to improve tire wear, especially with lowering springs, and the benefit of a spherical bearing for a stiffer feel. The reviewer and the car's owner, Andrew, both find the upgrade worthwhile, with Andrew emphasizing the reduction in head-bobbing over minor road imperfections. The total cost for the hardware and installation is estimated around $3,000. The video also touches on maintenance aspects like coolant topping and brake fluid recommendations.
