On suspension, some interesting recent examples. Teslas are famous for having bad suspension, by which is meant uncomfortable. They’re ‘sprung’ for cornering and speed, Tesla has a bit of a hoon culture. BYD on the other hand is smarter, in that while cars like the Seal here are equally as much performance cars as a Tesla, their suspension is a more sophisticated balance of comfort and cornering. Tesla was forced to respond, its current newer Model 3 had a major suspension upgrade to make it more comfortable. The Model Y upgrade coming in the next few months will do the same.
