The Model Y’s enhancement in comfort is made possible with an innovative technology integrated into the SUV’s dampers – a frequency response valve system.
This new technology allows the dampers to absorb vibrations across different frequencies.
Specifically, the basic valve system in the dampers primarily addresses low-frequency vibrations, ensuring vehicle support and handling stability on regular roads.

The newly added frequency response valve system, however, focuses on high-frequency vibrations, effectively smoothing out rough terrains such as gravel roads, reducing vibration by 51% compared to the old Model Y.
Tesla also promises 22% less road noise and 20% less wind noise.
