Today, Unplugged Performance, which focuses on launching Tesla performance parts, has released two limited slip differentials (Torsen-style LSDs) for the front and rear axles of Model 3 and Model Y on its official online store. This is the first LSD for Teslas in the aftermarket.
Although Performance version of Teslas have “drift mode”, installing LSDs can make drifting more controllable and sustainable.
The open differentials equipped in Model 3 and Model Y from factory have a structural limitation which causes loss of power to the wheel with little or no traction, usually the inside wheel in a turn. Limited slip differentials slow this down mechanically and reduce electronic intervention, improving the driving force on the outside wheel and increasing the speed in turns.
In addition, the manufacturer has stated that this modification will not bring any changes or performance improvement to daily driving.
