Limited Slip Differential

[Manbutter]

Before I start, I think TMC should have a forum section for ALL Tesla vehicles, for topics that apply to every Tesla, not just a S, 3, X, or Y.


Has anyone considered putting in an aftermarket limited slip differential in an S or Y model? They sell them after market. I suppose you won’t get much out of it unless you track your car. Would improve cornering grip significantly.

Teslas use the brakes to do the same thing, slowing down the wheel that slips. I suspect you'd go to a lot of work for little to no benefit.

I agree with your first comment. Or at minimum, combine certain areas of 3/Y and S/X.

I've done my share of SCCA events and a few track days with our MY. I have the ghost upgrade and have used their version of track mode. I find torque to the wheels from a corner was always lagging. It could be their version of Track Mode though. Maybe LSD would help? I was impressed seeing the MS go through the ring again. Maybe LSD could give them another edge.

With a quick google, I found a thread on the M3, but none on how it actually performs compared to stock. I mean other than venders say "it'll be better."

I'd guess its pretty much what @towndrunk said, a lot of work for little benefit, if any.

Consider that people taking on the ring aren't your everyday drivers, they're likely to have enough funds to do such a swap, especially any trying for records. But they haven't?
