Tesla’s latest software update 2025.8.4 (that first debuted a week ago) quietly includes a handy feature for Model 3 Performance owners — even though the release notes only mention “minor fixes and improvements.”

As pointed out by @WholeMarsBlog, the update now lets drivers automatically switch to the standard setting on adaptive suspension whenever Autopilot is turned on. The option appears in the “Dynamics” settings menu under “Use Standard Ride & Handling in Autopilot.”

The change improves comfort by softening the suspension during hands-free highway driving, and it shows Tesla is still refining the driving experience — even if it doesn’t always say so in the patch notes.

This is a great little tweak that will make for more a more comfortable ride when using Autopilot.
