Keep your rear bumper! Much Cleaner!

I would say paint the aftermarket rear bumper cover body color except for the slats underneath the reflectors and the middle "diffuser" area.

Why does it look lower in back?

Stock rear Bumper looks so much nicer, don’t gimmick up the M3...

My Model 3 is my only Tesla and is also my daily driver, so I could not lower my car making more it susceptible to road and parking damage. DAerik, I'm really happy that I can watch you modify your Model 3 and share in your enjoyment of it.

I don't really want any performance (ok maybe tires) or body mods. I'm really happy with having a regular AWD. I'm a little better dodging curbs except twice, RIP rim paint. Lowering is a bad idea for me. Otherwise I want a rear camera drip cover that might keep some water off the lens. Maybe help with glare? Better tires too. Stock are great when dry but wet I think could be better... I guess all the torque nothing will be perfect.

yup good idea. it will scrape the hell out of front bumper.

I hope they adjusted the camber to prevent uneven wear and give it the correct geometry.

Looks like someone didn’t use jack pads. Tisk tisk.

The back looks a little to low.

What happened to arachnids?

Are there any other manufacturers of performance parts other than unplugged performance?

A black carbon fiber lower spoiler would look totally bad ass on your pearly white car.

Remove the top part of the frunk and add a carbon fiber frunk. It will give you -30 less pounds! And increased efficiency by ~4%

Looks great, but don't want to lower my AWD since I have to navigate over Denver snow. Will likely add the Unplugged aero efficiency spoiler and front lip.

how much improvement to handling just for the f/r sway bars alone? not ready for new springs yet..

What size are the wheels?

Keep the stock ass, looks much classier. Rims with wider 10” rears, brakes, and suspension! I’m stealing that “T” on the back door idea, but black satin on blue!

Mods for me are finding springs that have a perfect tire height clearance front and rear. I would avoid that UP bumper as it looks the same as the overdone Civic body kits that are everywhere.

Hmmmm...one mod I’d do? Change the headliner to black! 😬🤘

How are your dampers holding up? I have a stock performance model 3 and I can feel that the rear dampers are getting weaker and is way more bouncy than when it was new.

Definitely paint match the rear bumper. And careful going up and down steep driveways that 1.5” drip will be felt on the cars chin. Great video ! 👍🏻

It seems that the rear dropped a fair bit more than the front... I realize this is an old vid and you have changed to coil overs...but can u recall if that was the case ?

Had to look it up, these are the Unplugged Performance springs which are 1.5" drop all around. What are you doing with your stock springs? If you don't have plans, I'd love to try them on my LR AWD, just let me know how much or how to contact you. Thanks! :)

WHICH spring model did you get?

Just wondering, I am taking delivery of my second m3 performance, first one returned it due too many defect,, I digress. After watching your video on lowering springs, I told my tesla service center that I was considering lowering the car, they warned me that any damage to the under body and suspension could be void if I mod my suspension. Should I be worried? Taking delivery on Monday..

Would you put mods on the 2020 Roadster when you get it? Would it depend on the performance before mods?

Just ordered these front and rear SB's. I'm going with the springs from T sportline with the less aggressive drop especially at the rear. I wish you'd comment a bit more on the install process of these sway bars. UP doesn't say anything about install time for them though they do comment on install time for most of their other products. Can you comment on install time/cost on these things at all? At least time? Thanks a lot.

To get the alcantara kit you have to send them your parts or leave your car with them for a week. Neither of which I've done yet. But it looks SOOO much better than the cloth it comes with. I'll eventually get mine done. That is due to California laws. Technically almost anything can give you cancer.

DÆrik you can install and then send them your parts after. And they pay for the shipping. I’m on the east coast so that’s what I went with. They estimate install time to be 3 hours. Good luck to me finding someone to do it here.

If it was mine I wouldn't want to go over any potholes in it with it being that low especially since its an EV with a scate board battery pack design but for what you want to do with I can see why you lowered the car. The current rear set up of your car gives a far sleeker, more sofisticated look than the prototype you were looking at.

Did you run into the small clunking noise issue after lowering the car ? cause I did...

Do the modifications made on the car void Tesla's warranty ?

Looks great, man! Can’t wait to see your track footage!

Does it give a harsher or smoother ride at normal speeds? Do you feel road imperfections more/less?

ya i`m thinkin` the lower you drop it, the tighter the suspension so thats the give and take for more sport. you know the old, build for speed, not for comfort, or other way around. :-)

When I was gonna watch ure vid a Volkswagen add popped up saying something about electrifying their cars btw you look like pewdiepie kind of

I wouldn’t do anything to the Tesla. Those cars look great stock with those 19” wheels. Adding spoiler kits looks cheap like a civic. Can’t wait to buy my model 3 in a few weeks. 💯👍🏼

Sir, your car looks great! In a past video when you installed the front lip spoiler, I had asked you to check the impacts on range efficiency once you lower the car. I'd be interested to see a video on these impacts if you wouldn't mind. Keep up the great work.

I think the rear need to be painted

Can almost guarantee you will replace these UP springs in the future. The height is way too low for the oem shocks to handle and has been reported to ride very rough and bottom out.

Has Unplugged Performance ever said how wide a wheel/tire combo can go in the front? In the early days, forums used to say 265 but someone said they mentioned 285 will fit and not rub with the right wheel.

Please report back on tire wear in 6 months or a year.

All Teslas look super sleek. In terms of color, I think black is the least beautiful for Tesla. It just can't bring up the gorgeous lines of the body. For model 3 and X, I think the midnight grey looks the best. For Model S, all colors look amazing. I still think Model S is the best looking Tesla on the road... until Roadster 2.0 will roll out!

Is this even allowed?

The rear panel is big so doubt it would look in place in carbon black. Probably look like a repair not yet painted which isn't the best look :) It's possible they know what they are doing but maybe borrow theirs and test the consumption. Not sure I see a lot of aero in that rear panel but open to being wrong on that. They are not doing the obvious of teardropping the wheel so slightly skeptical. As for mods, I'd really like to get rid of the lead acid starter battery. Mostly on principle. That just has no business in a Tesla, I don't know what they are thinking but it's wrong.

The sway bar I hunch is pseudoscience. I haven't done a disciplined analysis of the concept but it strikes me as too crude a concept to be universally beneficial and I don't even think it's beneficial in any reasonable average. It probably gently hinders body roll but makes one wheel hitting a curb much worse. It undermines the idea of independent suspension and that seems too crude to be beneficial, perhaps particularly because the lowered 3 already has very low body roll.

Dan Anti-roll bars are often characterized as a necessary evil. Racers know you need them to restrict roll, but many suggest the interconnection between wheels on the same axle causes “bad things” to happen. Proponents of this view say things like “the suspension ceases to be truly independent”. On the surface, this might appear to make sense. The reality is very different. The interconnection between wheels on the same axle has a negligible effect for racing and high performance. In fact, for racing and road performance, the anti-roll bar is a “good thing” and there are no downsides - only limitations as to how stiff you can go, just the same as there are limitations as to how stiff you can go with the suspension springs in your car . From a article suspensionsetup. Info . Hope this is helpful.
