Unplugged Performance 17-19 Model S Plug-n-Play High Performance Shocks (UP-MS-114-1.1)

Unplugged Performance Plug-n-Play High Performance Shocks for the 2017-2019 Model S was developed as a racetrack-derived, street-compliant suspension upgrade for all Tesla Model S variants with Air Suspension. The higher-spec Tesla Model S variants (P85D, P90D, P100D, etc. PRIOR TO RAVEN 2019.5) come equipped standard with Tesla’s advanced air suspension. This performance upgrade overcomes the natural propensity of air suspension vehicles for slop and roll during spirited driving and reduces crash over bumps, without compromising daily drivability. Once installed, the upgrade works in harmony with the standard air suspension controls without error or change of all standard functionality.

Notes on lowered cars: Many Model S owners have utilized Unplugged Performance lowering brackets to reduce ride height, improve aerodynamic efficiency, and reduce body roll. When the Model S is lowered, the factory suspension remains unchanged, equally soft as standard, however typically lowered car owners will want a slightly more sporty setting to maximize performance. As a result, when paired with a lowered car this system will maximize handling performance.

Integration

After installation the car simply works as normal, requiring no additional calibration and introducing no vehicle errors. All of the factory air suspension functionality (height adjustment, GPS memory) remains unaffected.

Customization

The front and the rear units all employ user-adjustable valving which may be tuned to each owner’s specific driving preference. All sets arrive pre-adjusted to Unplugged Performance’s recommended setting (high-performance street spec), however, they may be adjusted more firm for pure racing or softer for comfort comparable to the factory units they replace. As a result of the specific valving and adjustability, these high-performance shocks are equally suited for daily driving as they are for motorsports use.

Compatibility

This product is compatible with every version of the Model S factory air suspension. It may be used on factory height cars or on cars that have been lowered. For maximum performance, Unplugged suggests pairing with their lowering brackets. They also suggest considering their ultra-light wheel packages and their specials on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

This product is compatible with Dual Motors Cars. For use with Rear Motor cars 2 of air spring assemblies PN: 1030608-00-C will need to be purchased for installation.
