TESLA RIDE COMFORT MODIFICATION: 2024 SUSPENSION ON A 2020 MODEL 3 - GAME CHANGER OR WASTE OF TIME?

EV Channels Review

This video explores the viability of retrofitting a 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland suspension system onto a 2020 pre-facelift Model 3. The reviewer, along with a colleague, compares the ride comfort of the original 2020 model, the new Highland version, and the modified 2020 car. The consensus is that the suspension swap significantly improves ride comfort, making the older Model 3 much more compliant and refined, approaching the feel of the Highland. While not identical to the factory Highland due to fewer subframe and bush modifications, the upgrade is deemed a worthwhile investment, costing around £850 in parts. The reviewer highlights that the modified car feels "mostly along the lines of the Model 3 Highland" and "what it should have been all along" for a road car. The modification is praised for its cost-effectiveness compared to aftermarket kits, which were found to be less impressive. The potential for a similar upgrade on the Model Y is also touched upon.
