Upon getting our Tesla Model Y in March of 2020 we immediately found that it is a surprisingly firm ride. We promptly disassembled the car and studied the factory spring rates and shock dyno data to create our ideal solution. The Model Y should enjoy a more luxurious smooth driving feel for daily use and so we set out to make the most comfortable ride possible with these fully adjustable coilovers. The end result is that the Tesla Model Y and Model Y Performance are now capable of ride quality comparable to that of other similarly priced sporty luxury vehicles. The best solution for upgrading your Model Y with an aftermarket suspension coilover upgrade.

Note: It just so happens that we still ran a blistering 2:01 lap time at Buttonwillow Raceway on the same set of coilovers when turned up to a full firm setting!
As with all Unplugged Performance coilovers, there is a wide spectrum of adjustment for both height and damping is engineered to satisfy street and track uses. A quick setting adjustment truly changes the nature of how the car drives in a way that is immediately felt. When the coilovers are set to soft, the ride is significantly softer and more comfortable than the factory springs and shocks. Meanwhile, as the coilovers are turned up firmer, the car becomes a highly precise canyon carver and track animal as shown in the video below!
This and all Unplugged Performance suspensions are created by a dream team of top motorsports suspension engineers to Unplugged Performance specs. Unplugged Performance has a history of being the pioneer of suspension tuning for Tesla and our suspension upgrades are used on multiple world record holding race builds as well as on thousands of daily driven Teslas.

With 20 years of automotive performance experience, we started Unplugged in 2013 with the encouragement of our office neighbors at Tesla Design Studio. Unplugged is dedicated to bringing the best out of every Tesla platform. We have designed and manufactured complete turning solutions for Model S, Model X, Model 3, and now Model Y. We always lead and never compromise. We purchase every Tesla vehicle ourselves and test and refine our products extensively before selling. We work with the best engineers in the world to deliver the highest quality products we demand.

Outstanding coilovers, even BETTER customer service!
Driving is truly believing. If you’re looking for a smoother ride in your Tesla Y/3, look no further. I can honestly say that with my current setup, the suspension is like night and day compared to stock. Shortly after this install, I just drove from San Diego to San Francisco and it was a WORLD of difference.
Previously, my dog absolutely HATED car rides in the Tesla, nonstop whining and crying for hours. Now with the smoother ride, she falls right asleep and I take that as her stamp of approval.
I had them installed at an authorized installer in San Diego at a shop called Euro Auto Spot (also a great business!). During the install, I was informed that one of the technicians had accidentally messed up one of the struts and depressurization the entire shock. UP immediately FaceTimed the shop, gave them the appropriate training, and figured out a quick way-ahead. After overnight shipping the disassembled parts, UP was able to rebuild everything good as new and overnighted the parts back to the shop for install. Despite the minor setback, I could tell that both UP and the shop valued me as a customer and prioritized the solution. At the end of the day, everything was resolved in a matter of 6 work-days (even accounting for a shipping delay courtesy of FedEx).
Long story short: I am extremely satisfied with the service and products from Unplugged Performance. My new suspension set up was absolutely worth every penny.

I received my Model Y in October of 2020. After watching many many YouTube videos I was expecting the Model Y suspension to be rough, it was. Some of the videos mentioned unplugged performance. I was willing to invest the money anticipating a dramatic change just like the YouTube videos I watched. It took a few months before the luxury coil over suspension arrived. In the mean time I watched additional videos and my expectation of the dramatic change was changed as other video discussed that the change was incremental but not dramatic. I lowered my expectations once they were installed and tried convincing myself when I first started driving that they were an improvement.
Now we fast forward to July 2022 hitting a speed bump in Florida and having an ABS sensor trip out. I take it into the Tesla service location and they tell me that coil over shock pinched the wire as it was not place correctly. With this information I re-think if the coil-overs were installed correctly the first time. Unplugged Performance put me in touch with a different mechanic. Mike Campi at Charged up Performance in Horsham PA looked at the work and found some opportunities for improvement. The ride is better. I am very happy with Mike’s work and ability. I appreciate unplugged performance connecting me to Mike and I would give the following recommendation to the luxury coil over suspension.
The OEM suspension for the Tesla Model Y is rough. The unplugged performance luxury coil over suspension will improve this if it is set up correctly by a knowledgeable mechanic, but do not think it will be like riding on a cloud. Incremental improvement should be expected, keep working with the installer if you do not get an improvement. Just set an expectation that it is not air suspension and you will not be driving on cloud. You will still feel bumps. Thank you to both Andrew Petrella at Unpluged Performance and Mike Campi from Charged up Performance for making this a customer service success.

Somewhat similar to the other reviews, these Luxury Coilovers are an amazing product, but may require a little fine tuning. The good news is that if you’re patient, the team at UPP will take great care of you.
I initially placed an order for the Lux Coilovers for my 2021 LR MY in October. With them finally available, I made a trip all the way down to Hawthorne (from Sacramento) to also have them handle the install in June. They installed the coilovers as well as their Rear Camber Arms as they ended up lowering the car an inch.
After experiencing a couple of small issues (mainly sound related – nothing affecting the car or drivability), I reached out looking for help. Jeff in the support team was great to work with over email and I ended up making another trip down to get it sorted. I had previously, after the initial month, found a local shop to increase the height back to stock (or closer to it) as I was scraping over bumps and dips.
On this recent visit, I knew what I needed to ask for and Luke hopped in the car with me and made me feel very comfortable during the whole visit. I left feeling like a happy camper, and I can’t say this enough, the car feels BRAND NEW…but in an even better than new sense. They solved my two issues, and everything is now silent and smooth like butter with a setting of 6 clicks all around and around 44/45 PSI on all tires.
The drive back up to Sacramento was a joy, and I’m very happy with these products and the amazing support that the Unplugged Performance team provided. They made me love this car again and I highly recommend having them install this product if you’re local (in SoCal area or able to drive down). Best part is that my Wife can also tell the difference. 🙂
Final shout out as well to Adam, my client specialist, as he was great to work with. Good communication and follow-up throughout the whole process and even before I ever drove down.
Thanks again UPP!

Super happy with the Luxury Model Y coilovers!! And customer service was flawless!!
I drove down from SF and had them installed at UPP. Not only do they know what they’re doing, they spent time to test drive and fine tune the settings for my car specifically. My main goal was to fix the bumpity-bumpity tight suspension on the Model Y. The car now feels MUCH smoother than stock with current settings (13F/10R), and it’s nice to know I can easily click them down to float more if I want to try that later.
This was a significant investment, but totally worth it in my book.

I wanted to wait a few weeks before leaving my review to really see if there was a significant difference and it is a significantly better ride. I commute 70 miles a day on a fairly rough socal highway and the change is noticeable. Yes, you’re still going to feel the bumps but they are not as jarring.
Aside from the ride quality, I also have to give a shout out to the team at unplugged, specifically Kirk who was in constant communication with me during the waiting process. Thanks Unplugged and Kirk!

Received my suspension for my Y 2022 long range what a difference. Set it for 8 on the adjustment rides totally different what a great job took it to a friend of mine Frank Reyes to install Desert car medics said the product was very well made installed it in about 5 and 1/2 hours. Driving it for a couple of days now really loving the difference it made totally recommend upgrading your suspension great help and customer support thanks Kirk Nelson

The shop we had these installed was a 1.5 hour highway drive away so the trip home was a great test to see if we liked them (we live in NC). It was immediately noticeable that the ride of our 2021 Y was softer and bumps were not as hard. We had the shop set our coilovers to setting number “3” and kept the stock ride height. We also had the Adjustable Rear Camber Arms from UPP installed.
As this is our road trip car, looking forward to that next road trip to see if anything needs to be adjusted. Will update the review if we change the settings.

My wife drives a Model Y as her daily driver and for a commuter car the model Y suspension can be very harsh. Purchased the luxury coilovers and sway bars to help with this. Only 1 mechanic in North Carolina was certified to do it that was in the unplugged performance network and I had problems with connecting with them. Fortunately, Unplugged performance customer service is great. Spencer sent some install instructions to a local mechanic who was willing to work on our tesla and offered over the phone support if needed. Scarlett Performance in Winston Salem did a great job installing the parts. Ride quality is much improved compared to stock parts.
