KW Automotive's V3 Leveling suspension kit is now available for the all-wheel drive versions of the Tesla Model Y and Tesla Model 3. 

For all Tesla Model Y (AWD) the KW Variant 3 (KW V3) coilover kit adjustable in compression and rebound damping is now available. The KW V3 (Variant 3) can be adjusted in low-speed damper forces (for slow piston rod speeds), due to two-stage multi-valve technology.

The adjustable low-speed rebound stage influences the rebound during load changes in the compressed state. This adjusts the handling characteristics to be stiffer or more comfortable.

Rebound dials are plugged into the piston rod on the front axle strut and are also integrated into the rear-axle shock absorbers. A rebound extension shaft is also available to avoid inserting the adjustment wheel. 

According to KW, "In the case of the Tesla Model 3 with rear-wheel-drive, the electromobility specialist Nextmove from Leipzig proved that installing a KW coilover suspension kit increases the range by as much as seven percent in conjunction with the standard wheel-tire combination."

The KW coilover suspension allows the Tesla Model Y (AWD) to be stepless lowered between 25 and 50 millimeters on both axles.
