drifting/donuts possible in rwd?

[nalaramma]

is it possible to do donuts in a rwd model 3 highland if i turn on slip start and turn off regen braking?

Are you planning on buying a third party tool to turn off regen braking (because you cant do it natively)?

Not on any modern model 3 or Y for the past couple of years. My 2018 model 3 has a way to turn it "down" (not off) natively, but Tesla removed the option to change regen settings in the interface for model 3s and Ys I think in 2023.

You could buy a third party tool to do it, but you cant change it at all in the interface, so you arent turning off regen without a third party tool, on a highland model 3.

I also dont think slip start will allow you to do doughnuts on dry pavement. You might be able to do it on wet pavement or snow, but I dont think you are going to do it on dry pavement (without buying something third party). Teslas nannies are very good at keeping people safe (which means this isnt a car for hooning around. Driving fast, sure, cars and coffee style doughnuts, not really).

Try it and see what happens. That is the only way to learn about your car.

I don't think so. You still have traction control and other stuff. The Track mode in the performance allows all that stuff to be turned off.

Slip start won't do what you want. It enables a little bit of slipping but if you turn the steering wheel everything will stop as you still have some traction and a lot of stability control.
There are a couple of options for you. One is to unplug an ABS sensor on a wheel, that will disable everything... I don't recommend it though. Another option is to buy the S3XY buttons / knob and activate drift mode.

EDIT: Oh! Highland... I don't know if the S3XY buttons are compatible with that. You'll need to check
