Limited Slip Differential (LSD) For Tesla Model 3 & Y

The Unplugged Performance Limited Slip Differential is a direct drop-in replacement for the stock Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y open differentials. This physical Limited Slip Differential helps put more power to the ground without slowing the vehicle unnecessarily in conditions where one or more wheels lose traction such as high-g-force cornering, off-roading, and driving in inclement conditions such as snow and ice.

Why fit?

The Unplugged Performance Limited Slip Differential is a direct drop-in replacement for the stock Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y open differentials.

The purpose of these LSD units is to improve the distribution of power between wheels without using the brakes and stability control software. This physical Limited Slip Differential helps put more power to the ground without slowing the vehicle unnecessarily in conditions where one or more wheels lose traction, such as high-g-force cornering, off-roading, and driving in inclement conditions like snow and ice.

Unplugged Performance’s helical-mechanical LSD functions seamlessly with the electronic traction control, whereas clutch-type LSDs cause binding as the clutch functions compete with the electronic stability systems.

The goal with the Unplugged Performance Limited Slip differential is to optimise the amount of power that gets to the wheels and to do so as quickly and efficiently as possible. Tesla uses a typical electronic traction control system on their cars which is designed to reduce power to the slipping drive wheel by applying brakes and cutting power. Unplugged Performance LSD will divert the power to the wheel with the most traction before the traction control system intervenes by applying braking on slipping tire. The result is quicker response and more range.

In off-road applications, under extreme wheel articulation it is common to experience wheel-lift. This lift causes that wheel to spin freely in the air until the electronic stability control kicks in and applies the brakes. This is a time-consuming process that is both less than desired when your Tesla is sitting on 2-3 wheels, but is also a waste of battery energy.

The LSD works to prevent that unwanted wheel spin effectively providing power to the drive wheels with the most traction quickly moving the Tesla through the obstacle while also preserving battery life.

FAQ

Got questions? Maybe these answers can help!

Why modify my Tesla?

There’s no single answer to that! Much of the world of car modification revolves around the reality that a mass-produced car, built to a competitive price, has to be a compromise in some way to all of us.

Whether you are looking for daily-driving comfort, upgraded replacement parts for a high-mileage car or looking to join the increasing number of Tesla owners enjoying the immense capabilities of their car on track days, autocross, hillclimbs and sprints, our range has something for every Tesla owner.

Many people start off by simply needing to replace failing parts on their Tesla (very typically worn out suspension arms/bushes), but can see the error in choosing factory replacement arms that are certain to fail again in future. Or worse, the false economy of choosing cheap Far-Eastern copy parts that are of unknown quantity when it comes to durability and indeed safety. But with the longevity that a Tesla drivetrain offers us, it makes more sense than ever to invest in quality replacement parts on the chassis side and take a longer-term view of ownership as the mileage increases.

Others aren’t looking for improved performance. Rather, it's our Luxury suspension offerings, or the growth in ‘overland’ upgrades that are fully capable of heading off the beaten track that are of interest. For these customers, it’s the certain knowledge that their car can be better for their needs than mass-production can ever allow.

So many of our customers simply love the performance of their Tesla – often the fastest car they’ve ever owned. But for those that have come from a performance ICE car, they can feel that the Tesla’s chassis and braking capabilities still have some room for improvement to match the straight-line go.

Whatever your reasons and motivations, jump in to the world of modifying your Tesla without any concerns, and let us help you tailor the perfect Tesla for you.

Do you install parts?

No, we don't provide a fitting service. All Unplugged Performance parts are designed and manufactured in a way that any competent professional can install our parts on your Tesla - just the same as on any ICE car.

Have you checked our Fitting Guides? They are a very helpful resource for anyone carrying out this fitting service.

Of course, if you have any more questions about fitting, please don't hesitate to Contact Us.

Do you ship overseas?

Yes, we do. Although we are predominantly UK-based, we serve customers all over Europe and sometimes beyond.

Shipping costs will apply, and will be added at checkout. If your country doesn't have shipping calculated, please Contact Us and we'll get a competitive quote for you.

Please note: local taxes and duties may apply when you import products into your country which will be your responsibility.

A product is showing as 'None available from UK stock'. What does this mean?

We do our best to hold as much inventory here in the UK as possible. But of course, sometimes products go out of stock.

Or in the case of certain specialist parts or our wheel range, where there are multiple sizes, colours and configurations these are often manufactured to order in the USA.

So, orders that show as 'None available from UK stock' will be sourced from our team at Unplugged Performance in California. You may go ahead and place your order and we will get it ordered from USA and update you with expected delivery date.

Although you may prefer to Contact Us first, and we can give a best estimate on likely delivery time.

How long will it take to get my orders?

It depends on where you are. Orders for the UK will be processed immediately and typically take 5-7 business days to arrive.

Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.

However, if a product shows as being unavailable from UK stock, we will need to source from the Unplugged Performance USA team in California. In this case we will let you know the expected delivery times as soon as possible.

Of course, if you'd like to Contact Us first, we can always confirm timing estimates before you place your order.

How can I find Fitting Instructions?

We have fitting guides for many of our most popular products.

Please check out Fitting Guides for our list of useful installation resources.

What about warranty?

We are entirely confident in our products, and offer a 12-month warranty against defects or design faults within fair use.

If your Tesla is still under manufacturers warranty, please be aware that fitting aftermarket parts may affect the Tesla terms and conditions - although only for those mechanical elements relating to the fitment of our products.
