Better Comfort for Families with Children
Many Model Y owners use their SUV as the primary family vehicle, transporting children to school, activities, and family outings. The factory suspension's firmness can make these daily journeys less comfortable for young passengers, particularly over Singapore's numerous speed bumps. Profender's progressive spring rates provide better bump absorption, reducing the jostling that can disturb children or make car journeys less pleasant for families.
Improved Ride Quality on Loaded Family Trips
With its impressive 854L boot space (2,138L with seats folded) plus 117L frunk, the Model Y excels at family road trips and weekend getaways. However, when fully loaded with passengers and luggage for trips to Malaysia, the factory suspension can feel harsh and unforgiving. Profender car suspension's 16-way adjustable damping allows families to optimize settings for loaded trips, maintaining comfort even with five passengers and full cargo.
Reduced Firmness Over Residential Speed Bumps
Singapore's HDB estates and residential areas feature frequent speed bumps that Model Y owners navigate multiple times daily during school runs and errands. The factory suspension transmits these impacts with noticeable firmness. Profender suspension absorbs speed bumps more effectively, creating a calmer, more refined ride that makes daily family transport more comfortable for all occupants.
Enhanced Comfort During Longer Expressway Journeys
The Model Y's 551 km WLTP range (Long Range AWD) makes it ideal for family trips to Malaysia and extended journeys. However, the factory suspension's firm setup can become tiring for passengers during hours of driving, especially children who are more sensitive to ride quality. Profender car suspension provides better long-distance comfort, reducing fatigue for the whole family on weekend trips and holidays.
Better Comfort with Third-Row Passengers
Some Model Y variants offer optional third-row seating for seven-passenger capacity. The rear-most passengers are particularly sensitive to suspension harshness as they sit over the rear axle. Profender suspension's improved rear damping provides better comfort for third-row occupants, making the Model Y more practical for larger families.
Maintained SUV Handling with Family-Focused Comfort
Model Y owners appreciate the SUV's higher seating position and good visibility. Profender car suspension maintains these practical SUV characteristics while adding the compliance that families need. The adjustable damping allows owners to balance comfort for family use with adequate handling response for confident driving.
Tropical Climate Durability for Year-Round Family Use
As a primary family vehicle operating in Singapore's tropical climate, the Model Y's suspension faces constant use and environmental stress. Profender car suspension systems feature zinc-coated components tested to ISO 9227 standards for over 240 hours, ensuring durability that matches the demands of daily family transport in Singapore's humidity and heat.

Frequently Asked Questions – Tesla Model Y Profender Car Suspension
Most Model Y families who switch to Profender car suspension cite comfort as the primary reason. While the Juniper update improved ride quality significantly, many owners still find the suspension too firm for comfortable family transport, especially with children or during loaded trips. Families using the Model Y for daily school runs, weekend trips, and family errands appreciate the improved comfort Profender provides without sacrificing the practical handling that makes the SUV confidence-inspiring to drive.
Properly installed and adjusted Profender car suspension should not negatively impact the Model Y's range. The suspension maintains proper ride height and ground clearance (167mm), preserving aerodynamic efficiency. Some families report slightly improved efficiency due to better tire contact management. The Model Y's practical 551 km WLTP range (Long Range AWD) remains unaffected, ensuring families can still make weekend trips to Malaysia without range concerns.
Yes. This is particularly valuable for the Model Y as a family vehicle with varying loads. The 16-way adjustable damping allows families to optimize settings when carrying five passengers plus luggage for weekend trips, or set softer damping for daily solo commuting. Many families find a middle-ground setting that works well for most scenarios, then adjust for fully-loaded family holidays or when towing (up to 1,600 kg braked capacity).
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. Profender car suspension systems are engineered to handle the Long Range AWD variant's 2,003 kg weight and 330 kW dual-motor output. The adjustable damping allows families to maintain adequate handling response for confident driving while prioritizing the comfort that makes daily family transport more pleasant. The system works effectively with the Model Y's AWD configuration and higher ground clearance for SUV versatility.
The Juniper update brought significant suspension improvements including revised geometry and better damping compared to the previous Model Y. However, Tesla's tuning still prioritizes dynamic handling over maximum comfort. Profender car suspension builds on the Juniper's improvements by adding adjustability that lets families optimize for their specific comfort preferences, creating a ride quality more suited to daily family transport while maintaining the handling confidence families need for safe, practical SUV use.
