The first gen (2017-2023) Tesla Model 3 has a a firm, sporty ride. Some say it’s especially rough on uneven pavement. Here are some ways to make a Tesla Model 3 ride smoother:
Adjust tire pressure
Elon Musk has recommended lowering tire pressure by 10% for a smoother, quieter ride.
Replace worn or damaged tires
Replace tires with new, properly inflated tires.
New shocks or struts
Worn out shocks or struts can cause a bumpy ride, so replacing them can improve control and stability. You can also try replacing firm shock absorbers with more comfortable ones.
Adjust ride height
Press the brake pedal and then touch Controls > Suspension on the touchscreen to manually adjust the ride height.
Install suspension upgrades
You can try installing Whiteline suspension upgrades or Ohlins coilovers. Coilovers can be easily adjusted to your preference while you’re still in your driveway.
