Q: How much does it cost to build a full-spec Tesla Model 3 race car with Unplugged Performance?

The honest answer is that it depends on what you want the car to do, and that is exactly the conversation UP wants to have with you before any number is put on the table.

A complete full-spec Model 3 race build encompassing high-performance suspension, big brake kits, lightweight forged wheels, aerodynamic enhancements, safety equipment, and professional tuning and race prep typically ranges from $40,000 to $80,000 and above, not including the base cost of the Tesla Model 3 itself. Builds oriented toward club racing and time trials tend to sit in the lower end of that range, while cars built for more serious competition, custom fabrication, or advanced safety homologation requirements move toward the higher end.

Additional costs to plan for include any optional safety gear specific to your series, DMV, registration fees, consumables like brake pads and tires over the course of a season, and ongoing race support if you want the UP team in your corner at events.

The best starting point is a direct consultation. UP works through the build scope and budget together with each client before any commitments are made, so you know exactly what you are getting and what it will cost.
