Tesla Model 3 / Y Limited Slip Differential (LSD) – Front and Rear
$2,595.00
-
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.
- Available for Front and Rear Drive Units
- Apply power to the drive wheels more quickly and without intervention of the brake-based electronic stability control system
- Tested and validated by legendary racing driver Randy Pobst on the Unplugged Performance Pikes Peak race car
- Designed for use on street, track and for inclement weather such as snow or ice.
- The gear-based design ensures smooth and silent operation without maintenance
- Automatically redistributes torque to the wheel with the most traction
- Maximizes traction and reduces stability control interventions
- In off-road applications, can preserve range by reducing wheel spin
- Lifetime warranty
- Professional installation required
- May void Tesla drive unit and associated parts warranties
- Designed for performance driving, with no added benefit for a daily driver or commuter use

Product Details
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 optimize 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 tire lift. This tire lift causes the wheels 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.

Will upgrading my brakes void the Tesla warranty?
Tesla’s warranty covers factory-installed parts, but it does not automatically void your warranty if you install aftermarket components like Unplugged Performance brake kits. Under U.S. law (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act), Tesla must prove that an aftermarket part caused a failure in order to deny warranty coverage. Our parts are engineered to work harmoniously with Tesla OEM Brake systems and can be professionally installed by Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne, CA or by an authorized installer to minimize risk. That said, any damage directly caused by misuse or improper installation may not be covered. We recommend retaining all factory parts so you can revert to stock if needed. Many Tesla owners enjoy peace of mind by using Unplugged Performance products, which are extensively tested and installed by certified professionals. If warranty concerns are top-of-mind, our team can help clarify compatibility and installation best practices to ensure a worry-free experience.
What does the Unplugged Performance product warranty cover?
Unplugged Performance offers a comprehensive warranty on all parts and installations performed by our certified technicians. Warranty coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship on items including lowering springs, coilovers, big brake kits, brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, shocks, and more. Should any covered part fail under normal use or display premature wear, we will repair or replace it at no additional cost—assuming the component was installed by us or at one of our authorized partners.
This warranty is valid for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, excluding consumable products like brake pads, rotors, and tires, starting from the installation date. Coverage extends to labor for warranty repairs when performed by Unplugged Performance or an authorized installer. It does not cover damage resulting from misuse, accidents, off‑road use, improper installation not done by us, or modifications that aren’t factory-approved.
To file a warranty claim, simply contact our service team. We’ll guide you through inspection, shipping (if needed), and repair or replacement logistics. transparencia and top-tier support are what you can expect from Unplugged.
Will Tesla void my warranty if I install aftermarket parts?
A vehicle’s comprehensive warranty as a whole may not be voided due to use of aftermarket parts per the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts). However, a manufacturer may require a customer to pay for parts and labor for a repair if there is direct causation between a customer’s alteration and the product or service repair being requested. It is in both manufacturer and customer’s interest to follow logic and reason so that the system of good faith is not abused. If this topic interests you please read the law as well as your warranty documentation. Ultimately we are Tesla owners and enthusiasts, we are not lawyers and cannot provide legal advice.
