Wife says R1S feels "tighter". Not as much floating and much tighter on highway. Feels like she has more control.

Im retrying the T as I write this.

Fingers crossed my wife says the same! Still no update, I’m eagerly awaiting less complaints about loose steering!

R1T on 21s AP/Soft/Standard. Verdict so far: much smoother at lower speeds going over uneven surfaces. Lots of porpoising, side to side movement, and bouncing at higher speeds. There needs to be a happy medium somewhere.

Here are my thoughts. I love the improvements.

Curious how many miles you have and what the tire wear looks like Using low most of the time.

I usually use AP Normal as that seems like the most natural tire position. I have 10k miles and am pretty happy with the tire wear. I do use Conserve low (not lowest) on longer highway stretches.

Have had the vehicle for 6 weeks, and only have 1500 miles or so. Tire wear is not noticeable yet as you might expect. That said, regen is never set to High and we don't jack rabbit start see how quickly it can go. We're used to quick acceleration from Tesla so it's not novel to us.

I fully expect the tires to last ~20K to 25K miles.

I’ll take the under.

I think that is doable, I have 22s, use high regen and still right around 8/32 at 10k miles.

Wow, just got back my first drive since I updated a few days ago. It’s a huge difference on my R1S, and I love it!

It’s pretty amazing how they are able to tune the suspension so significantly with an OTA software update. Pretty cool times we live in.

The old soft is the new stiff

That's what she said... or something? Maybe?

That was my observation on the T. I love the new soft. More body roll but feels more predictable and i don't feel like its lost any handling capabilities.

Don't think that is what @RexRemus actually meant.

R1T much improved at slow speeds over bumps and stuff. Just drove briefly so I don't know how it is going to be over varied terrain but I keep it in sport mode which is usually extremely bumpy in parking lots and stuff. Its a noticeable improvement.

Does anyone notice regen feeling has changed? High seems like a bit weaker and slow to grab brakes at stop. Have an R1S and R1T, noticed on both.

suspension wise ride on Colorado roads seems much better on both, however S seems to have a bit of Cadillac float on some bumps in rear

R1S on 20” ATs. Just updated last night and did an hour drive and it feels great. I typically brace myself for the jarring bump on some roads and was pleasantly surprised when it just bounced over them. My wife was fascinated by how they could make improvements like this OTA. The real test will be Monday morning at my sons school and the speed bumps, where we are completely rocked each morning. Will update then.
