EV Channels Review
This video details the process of retrofitting suspension components from a 2024 Tesla Model 3 'Highland' version onto a 2021 Model 3 Long Range. The reviewer highlights the significant improvement in ride comfort, noting that the original 2021 Model 3 had a firm suspension. The upgrade, involving both front springs and shocks, and later rear springs, successfully addressed the harshness, making the high-mileage vehicle (over 226,000 miles) much more comfortable. While the initial damper change at the rear showed improvement, adding the rear springs completed the transformation, making the ride feel consistent and as it 'always should have been'. The reviewer strongly recommends this upgrade, suggesting Tesla should offer it as a factory option to extend the life and relevance of existing vehicles, aligning with environmental sustainability.
