Seems like they did a good job on this one. Anyone recognize any pieces? I would suspect something from Mercedes/Daimler since they are one of the owners and they have had a lot of air suspension cars. Those brakes certainly does a great job of stopping that big beast.

I do recognize a lot of Daimler cues. Upright definitely. But they insist Tesla designed and manufactured.

I also know of three companies that copied similarities from specific Chrysler/Daimlier design cues but they (C/D) never made any of it. and four race cars I have seen pics of, not sure of series, use similar designs. They are not Daimlier design, they are designs Daimlier COPIED.

the 350z's had the same style front uprights. great set up, but does limit front wheel and tire combos. i have an sl55 amg and they have a very similar ride height control system but uses hydraulic pressure, not air.
