Produced with the same materials, equipment and same factory as million-dollar race car body panels.Available in autoclave produced prepreg carbon fiber or autoclave produced prepreg PFRP flexible fiberglass.Sample either, though, and you’ll not want to drive a standard Model 3 again.Ascension Rear Bumper and Diffuser System for Tesla Model 3 The RWD car wins for purity, but one small taste of the AWD car’s performance is enough to convert you to its unfathomably quick ways. Unplugged has made the Model 3 feel like a proper driver’s car and a genuine sports saloon. Teslas have always been very good at smacking your gob in a straight line but then letting you down in corners, where they’ve felt more like a science experiment than something designed to make you smile. These two Model 3s are certainly a very good demonstration of the company’s talents. Naturally you can have an Unplugged Model S or Model X, too. Head into six-figure sums and Schaffer’s team will fashion a completely bespoke car for you in forensic detail. Indeed, adding $20,000 or so of suspension, brakes or wheels to a Model 3 is merely where the Unplugged experience begins. “You can modify a lot of the car and make it into something that is kind of more special, more exotic, more personal, and arguably, that can perform better for the use you have it for.” “Certain old technologies cannot co-exist in the EV world, but you can have high-end suspension, brakes, weight reduction, custom interiors with higher quality materials and custom exteriors which are not just beautiful, but functional. We can't make a bolt on exhaust system and a turbo kit, or increase the displacement of the motor. “Things that don't translate are quite obvious. Unplugged operates on a different plane of car modifying, something Schaffer happily admits. So does an electric car lend itself to modifying? On the long trudge back through LA traffic we largely let the car drive us back itself. All of Tesla’s self-driving Autopilot tech remains intact, too, albeit after five months of Schaffer making its sensors talk to carbon ceramic brakes. It’s a tuner car that doesn’t consume more fuel or make more noise than standard, and there’s appeal there. But after a day on some wonderful LA canyon roads, we’d quite warmed to that here’s a car you can have an awful lot of fun in without attracting unwanted attention. It’s a different experience, given the complete absence of noise, save for some tyre squeal when you’re getting really excitable.
That’s not something Unplugged can offer, but perhaps Tesla will consider it in future over-the-air updates, and its Track Mode is certainly a start. Unplugged’s upgrades help this car operate in the realm of BMW M3s, Mercedes C63s and Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglios, with only their tyre-shredding sense of humour missing. The use of dual motors allows some clever shuffling around of the power and you can corner at quite silly speeds when you get your head around it, but some trust from the car that you’ve an idea of what you’re doing would be welcome. Specify Unplugged upgrades on one of these and we wholeheartedly recommend the ceramic brakes while the Model 3’s standard brake regen helps slow you into corners, the velocities you’ll be carrying here warrant something a little stronger.Īgain, we’d love to try it with the electronic nannies unshackled. It gives a small, relatively unassuming looking saloon car the outrageous performance of a supercar. It doesn’t have the purity of the RWD car – its extra weight is obvious in corners – but flipping heck, it’s quick.
