The one piece of critical information that you seem to be leaving out is the weight difference between the Tesla parts that you've removed and the unplugged performance suspension components installed. If there's a weight saving then definitely the handling improvement would be worthwhile but if your parts are heavier and even with the improved Handling the weight gain would negate any performance gains so please include the weight so wsecan get an accurate understanding
@@joey8on Any weight difference is nominal in either direction. While the billet aluminum we use is a lighter material than that of the stock steel components, our UP parts are slightly bigger/thicker to add strength and adjustability using turnbuckles and locking nuts, it brings the weight up slightly. The net result is near stock.
My understanding is that Tesla went to great extent to reduce the noise transmission and harness that existed in the earlier Model 3 performance suspension. Won’t the stiffer bushings in the UPP components result in a harsher ride? Of course, if track performance is your primary goal that trade-off may not bother you.
While in theory spherical bushings can cause higher NVH levels, we, and our customers have no noticed or reported any noticeable increase. Could be that they are now enjoying the driving experience to much to notice. Not sure.
Great video! Very helpful in understanding the components. Can you please do a follow up on the 2024 performance seats in 2019/2021 Model 3s? Apparently if one uses the old seat harness the car shouldn't throw error codes... please update if you find a solution, either a follow up video or a tweet!
Waiting for an update on this too! I heard the same as you. I also heard if you reinstall the software through Tesla service mode then that could also reprogram the seat ecu’s to the car and should stop the errors.
Finally someone not using strings, bubble levels & rulers to do an alignment.
This was very helpful! Thanks for this great information!
Great job on this video!!
Luke, thanks for explaining the suspension components, what pieces UP sells and how they can be adjusted for the street or the track.

Aluminium should be lighter, but yes a weight comparison would be nice

@@MosaShoots We've heard the same. If we test it, we'll let you know here. Subscribing will send you updates.
what's the alignment machine and sensor set up at the UP shop? Is it a Hunter rack, or another brand?
Hunter
Thanks for the info! Love the mods you design
Thanks a lot! That was really helpful.
Do we really need the Camber Toes?
After wheel alignment (with OEM toes):
0.15 (Left)
0.16 (Right)
Camber (N2itive):
-1.0 (Left)
-1.0 (Right)
What lowering springs are you guys running on that car? looks to be either the low or moderate option you offer.
These are the Low
Mild, Moderate, or Low springs?
Low
There should be a way to do these adjustments electronically on the fly.
Alignment adjustments electronically, on the fly? Sounds great... let us know when you invent it for Tesla's multi-link suspension
@@UnpluggedPerformanceTesla I was kind of hoping you would. Or adapt a system similar to Lamborghini's adjustable camber wheel hub thing.
This stuff should all just come standard on all performance vehicles
Ok, NVH ? Given it's electric that will be a sensitive topic unless you track the thing all day.
In theory, one might think so, however we have not, and our customers have not noticed our reported any noticeable increases in NVH levels.
Take a shot every time he mentions “deflection” 😂
🤣 What can we say, our parts mitigate deflection 🍹
