Reduced Firmness Over Speed Bumps and Road Imperfections
The Model 3's factory suspension, tuned for dynamic handling, can feel overly firm when encountering Singapore's frequent speed bumps, particularly in HDB estates and residential areas. Some owners describe the ride as "jittery" or "harsh" over these obstacles. Profender's progressive spring rates and adjustable damping help absorb these impacts more effectively, reducing the sharp jolts transmitted to the cabin while maintaining control.
Better Comfort During Extended Highway Drives
With its impressive 691 km WLTP range (Long Range RWD), the Model 3 encourages longer journeys to Malaysia and extended expressway driving. However, the factory suspension's firmness can become fatiguing over hours of driving, especially when highway surfaces have imperfections. Profender car suspension provides a more compliant ride at speed, reducing driver and passenger fatigue during longer trips.
Improved Absorption of Singapore's Patched Road Surfaces
Singapore's roads feature numerous patches and uneven surfaces from ongoing infrastructure work. The Model 3's factory suspension, with its focus on handling precision, tends to transmit these road irregularities directly to the cabin. Profender suspension's enhanced damping control filters out more of these minor disturbances, creating a more refined, luxury-sedan-like ride quality.
Enhanced Comfort with Passengers and Cargo
The Model 3's spacious 594L boot and 88L frunk make it practical for family trips with luggage. However, when fully loaded with passengers and cargo, the factory suspension's firm setup can feel even less forgiving. Profender's 16-way adjustable damping allows owners to optimize settings for different load conditions, ensuring comfort whether driving solo for the daily commute or fully loaded for a weekend getaway.
Maintained Handling Precision with Better Compliance
Many Model 3 owners appreciate the car's sharp handling and responsive steering. Profender car suspension is engineered to maintain these dynamic characteristics while adding compliance. The adjustable damping allows owners to find the sweet spot between comfort and handling response, avoiding the "all or nothing" compromise of factory suspension.
Tropical Climate Durability for Singapore Conditions
Singapore's constant humidity and tropical heat can accelerate suspension component degradation. Profender car suspension systems feature zinc-coated components tested to ISO 9227 standards for over 240 hours, providing superior corrosion resistance compared to factory coatings, ensuring the suspension maintains its performance characteristics over the Model 3's lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions – Tesla Model 3 Profender Car Suspension
Most Model 3 owners who switch to Profender car suspension cite the factory suspension's firmness as the primary reason. While the Highland update improved ride quality compared to the previous generation, some owners still find the suspension transmits too much harshness over Singapore's speed bumps and road imperfections. The factory setup prioritizes handling precision, which can feel overly stiff for daily comfort, especially with passengers or during longer drives.
Properly installed and adjusted Profender car suspension should not negatively impact the Model 3's impressive range. The suspension maintains proper ride height and geometry, preserving aerodynamic efficiency. Some owners report slightly improved efficiency due to better tire contact patch management and reduced suspension movement. The Model 3's remarkable 691 km WLTP range (Long Range RWD) remains unaffected by the suspension upgrade.
Suspension modifications generally do not void your entire Tesla vehicle warranty, but could affect warranty claims on suspension-related components. It's advisable to check with Tesla regarding specific warranty implications. Profender car suspension comes with its own 1-year/30,000km warranty through Syncrowerkz Sdn Bhd, providing coverage for the upgraded components.
Yes. The 16-way adjustable damping system allows you to create different suspension setups to match your driving style or preferences. You can set softer damping for daily comfort-focused driving or firmer settings when you want more spirited, dynamic handling. This flexibility addresses one of the main criticisms of factory Model 3 suspension, which offers no adjustability despite serving different driver preferences.
Yes. Profender car suspension systems are engineered to handle the Performance variant's 1,835 kg weight and 377 kW dual-motor output. The adjustable damping allows Performance owners to maintain the car's impressive dynamic capabilities (2.8-second 0-100 km/h) while adding compliance for daily comfort. Many Performance owners appreciate being able to dial in more comfort for regular driving while retaining the ability to firm up the suspension when desired.
The Tesla Model 3 uses multi-link suspension front and rear, which is an advanced design that typically provides excellent handling. Profender car suspension is specifically engineered to work with this multi-link architecture, utilizing the design's inherent capabilities while adding the benefit of adjustable damping. The combination of Tesla's sophisticated suspension geometry and Profender's adjustable dampers creates a more versatile setup than the fixed factory configuration.
