Tesla's have adjustable height, adjustable response, and 4 wheel independent suspension.
None of which are new to production cars. Off the top of my head, Lincoln and Mercedes are two brands that had such features when I worked on them…back in the 80s (though forward-looking adjustment might be more recent, I seem to recall Lincoln had a system that would adjust the rear on-the-fly based on what the front suspension was doing).
So if the implication is Tesla’s on the cutting edge or something, I would bet Tesla could have purchased off-the-shelf parts, and had a choice in vendors, to build their suspension.
