Handle G-Forces Like A Champ

Whether in the cockpit of a Tesla or a SpaceX rocket, no pilot wants to slide around their seat getting rocked by g-forces. Simply said, seating design is an important function to support the purpose of the vehicle. We assume if you’re reading along that you likely drive differently than granny who also will buy a Model 3. Unfortunately, every Model 3 comes with only one seat design, and that seat, by definition of a mass-produced car must make granny happy. Do you drive exclusively in Chill Mode? If not you’re probably familiar with the feeling of sliding around in the slippery low bolstered factory seat. It is not confidence-inspiring to be bracing oneself up against a door mid-corner. The Unplugged Performance Ascension-R bucket seat program is a solution designed for performance drivers and we’ve spent the last year dialing in this solution so that you can bolt it in, drive hard and stop accepting compromises.

Pilot and Machine Become One

Having a supportive seat is more than just not sliding around. A properly designed and bolstered bucket seat allows the driver to feel a direct connection to the car. Ask any racing driver and they’ll tell you how invaluable it is to feel the car’s precise movements. That direct connection to the machine increases feel and speeds reaction time.

Safety First

The standard Model 3 seats were not designed for a racing harness in mind. The proper approach to utilizing a racing harness begins with having a seat that is designed for harness use. For this reason, Unplugged Performance partnered with Sparco on this project and we utilize Sparco FIA approved Italian made seats as a base for this project. Earlier in 2020, Unplugged Performance released a bolt in/bolt out track day harness bar as well as a Willians x Unplugged Performance FIA-approved racing harness. Together the 3 items create the ultimate weekend warrior solution for proper racing use. The harness bar unbolts cleanly for a factory look in less than 5 minutes and stores flat in the garage, meanwhile the seat unbolts just as fast.

One Cohesive System
The Tesla Model 3 is extremely difficult to modify as it relates to seating. For one there are seat width constraints, which prevent some seats from fitting into the car. We selected the largest and most comfortable high-performance seat which can accommodate the widest range of body types. Sparco suggests a 36 waist as fitting comfortably but we’ve had people with 42-inch waists fit as well. Our seat selection is great for scenarios with longer amounts of seat time and our friend Daerik even drove in these from California to Colorado! As we developed the complete solution we looked at existing hardware and found that the available seating positions were high and awkward at best so we developed from scratch a Model 3 specific seat base to allow the seat to position as low as possible. We include new hardware with every seat that allows the factory seat belt receiver to be used and we also include an eye-bolt for easy implementation of a racing harness. Perhaps the most challenging topic of seating is the deep computer integration of Tesla’s standard seats. Removing the standard seats on a Tesla creates a number of errors and in some cases renders the car completely not operable. We’ve seen various workarounds that still produce errors. To combat this challenge we’ve included an exclusive purpose-designed seat harness emulator. The included harness emulator allows the factory driver’s side seat and harness to be removed together intact and the car to function for racing despite the factory driver’s seat and harness being absent from the vehicle. The passenger seat may be removed and replaced with our bucket seats and the vehicle will still be able to race. There may be airbag/occupancy warning errors when removing the passenger seat but this will not impact racing usability.

Note – This harness emulator is designed for close racing circuits only. Because it is involves in the elimination of seat airbag and modification of the vehicle’s airbag and safety system it is not legal or advised for public road use.

Designed Custom For You
We’ve created variations in design to give the design as much focus as the function of this kit. Firstly we offer every package with either a Fiberglass (FRP) seat or a Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber (Carbon) seat. From there, for the lowest cost of entry, we offer the seats finished in the base level Sparco black textile finish. Things get more exciting from there as we offer full premium Alcantara versions of both the FRP and Carbon seat options.

The full Alcantara seating is offered in three variations:

  • Tesla inspired “Plaid Mode” -As used on our race cars for those who represent the fastest of the fast
  • Pure Black Alcantara – for a simple and clean look
  • Vintage Racing Houndstooth – Classics never go out of style
    * All three variations are easily interchangeable padding inserts. If you email us after your order, we can offer (for additional cost) additional insert sets so you can change the style up in less than a minute.

THE ASCENSION-R RACING SEAT PACKAGE FOR THE TESLA MODEL 3 INCLUDES:

Package A:

  • Base Textile Finished Sparco FRP QRT-R Seat (this is a standard QRT-R seat without any custom embroidery or branding)
  • Unplugged Performance Model 3 Seat Base
  • Custom Driver Seat Harness Emulator
  • Sparco Seat Rails
  • Sparco Slider
  • Hardware
  • Eye-Bolt and Bracket for Optional Harness Use

Package B:

  • Everything in Package A Plus:
  • Upgrade to Unplugged Performance Alcantara Finish

Package C:

  • This is Package A but instead of a Fiberglass seat it includes a Carbon Fiber QRT-C seat

Package D:

  • This is Package B but instead of a Fiberglass seat it includes a Carbon Fiber QRT-C seat

    These carbon fiber seats are amazing in our plaid drag car. Looks like it came from Tesla just like that. ???

      The sway bars are phenomenal. I installed these in my 2025 model 3 performance. I already had the moderate lowering springs from unplugged and after adding the sway bars and the end links made a massive difference. There's barely any body roll and the car feels more planted even when heavy...
      mauricio pelayo April 27, 2025
      I purchased the entire suspension front and rear adjustable, and fixed spherical bushing arm sets, along with the rear sway bar for my 2022 Tesla Model S. After the complete UP installation, and spec alignment, the car is a different Monster. Not only it is firm and stable at high speeds, but...
      crisonesurf April 21, 2025
      I have both the rear camber arms and the rear toe arms together making the rear alignment easy and quick to change. I adjust back and forth between street alignment for daily commuting and autocross race alignment for race day. These are easy to use and the settings are very repeatable. Customer...

      50mm spacers are exactly what you need to give your CyberTruck the stance it was created for! By a skilled installer all 4 spacers installed under 45 minutes. 2000 miles on them and no wobble!
      brian cohen February 09, 2025
      I've just transformed my Cybertruck into an even more formidable beast, and let me tell you, this is the upgrade you didn't know you needed until you see it. The installation was as straightforward as it gets - a quick clean with alcohol, peel off the tape, press, hold, and voilà! It was like...
      Richard Stephens February 08, 2025
      Took me about 2 hours total to remove the arms press out the rubber bushings and press in these then fit back to my 24 performance, very direct steering now and drastically reduced the wobbly feeling under hard braking , slightly more road noise over rough roads but if your looking for race car like...
      Stephen Marwick January 27, 2025
      Added these high quality RAC arm set to the D&S PRO coilover suspension lift kit. The ride is amazing after installation and alignment. Highly recommend.
      Mike Nash January 17, 2025
      Wanted an upgrade to the stock suspension that allowed maximum versatility for traversing truck trails towing a camping trailer as well as providing comfort for daily commuter driving. Called and spoke with Kirk Nason at Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne, CA and ordered the D&S PRO coilover...
      Mike Nash January 17, 2025
      Tesla will just replace the entire control arm, with THE SAME inferior rubber bushing. Was happy to find these UPGRADED bushings to solve the problem for good. Excellent customer service as well.
      James Thompson January 14, 2025
      I purchased the Up03 wheel setup for my Model X Plaid in 20x10.5 square. Coming from the stock 22-inch wheels, there was a massive improvement in weight savings, and the car feels more responsive with superior ride quality. I’ve also noticed a significant increase in range. My sales rep, Kirk, was...
      Sanju Gill November 20, 2024
      The UP-05s from Unplugged are a game-changer for my Tesla Model 3 Performance. These wheels have transformed my ride, making the car feel incredibly nimble whether I'm zipping through a Taco Bell drive-thru or carving up some twisty country roads. The aesthetics are on point - these wheels look sick...
      dylanfonseca06 November 06, 2024
      One of my favorite upgrades to the Model 3, allows for fine-tuning of the entire suspension system to balance the car out. Each notch makes a noticeable difference, so certainly flexibility with the settings. I started with Medium/Medium settings and tuned them according to the car's handling.
      Shimmy October 22, 2024
      Beefy design, necessarily. Need the toe arms in conjunction with rear camber arms to dial in toe at the same time, otherwise toe will be out of spec when adding negative rear camber.
      Shimmy October 22, 2024
      Installed traction and trailing arms on 2024 Model 3 Performance, keeps the rear end more stable, especially on hard acceleration and deceleration at the track.
      Shimmy October 22, 2024
      Real cool suspensions the car drives smooth and quite. Made a real difference to the drivability and now I really enjoy driving the car. Absolutely recommend it if your factory shocks have failed. Mine failed in 5 years.
      kerbad October 01, 2024
      My 2021 Model Y performance rode very harsh and bumpy. Like the suspension bottomed out on every pothole. I did the suspension upgrade and it’s a HUGE difference. My car rides great now. It handles the potholes no big deal now. I wish I had done this three years ago when I got the car. Sandy...

      HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SPORT PRO COILOVER SUSPENSION KIT. SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT. MUCH BETTER RIDE THAN STOCK. FEELS LIKE I’M DRIVING A SPORTS CAR AND LOOKS AMAZING! ALSO LOVE THAT IM ABLE TO ADJUST HEIGHT AND DAMPING. THANK YOU ANDREW AND UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE TEAM.
      elizabethbanuelos81 September 16, 2024
      Should’ve been stock with all teslas, combined with a stiffer set of aftermarket coilovers, the car handles insanely well. I purchased this front and rear sway bar set along with end links for a standard range model 3. It makes such a huge difference, the car feels more planted especially entering...
      ginjupalli2 September 14, 2024
      This brace was an amazing upgrade for my car. I added the UP rear sway bar first then the full UP suspension then this Strut Tower Brace. I feel this completed the feel i was looking for. The cars back end feels so solid while cornering and over the bumpys feels so solid too. A noticeable...
      Chad Jones May 15, 2024
      WIFE APPROVED!!! I have a 2018 Model 3 LR AWD with the stock 18" wheels. I've always felt that the ride was a bit stiff and jittery with the stock suspension. Looking around for a solution, I came across coil-over kits which were expensive and I really didn't think I would need the adjustability...
