Tesla changed the car world with software-first thinking and electric power. The Model 3 made EVs normal and affordable, though the brand has its critics. For the aftermarket world, the industry is split into two: Some companies offer endless Tesla Model 3 accessories reminiscent of the accessory industry for an iPhone, while others treat the Model 3 as a “car” and offer real performance hardware, showing that even an EV can be upgraded.
Here are our top picks for Tesla Model 3 upgrades that aim to fix real problems, add daily comfort, and boost performance.
Performance Upgrades
Unplugged Performance limited-slip differential
A mechanical limited-slip differential replaces the stock open differential to split torque more evenly between wheels. That matters when one wheel starts to spin on a corner or on slippery pavement. Unplugged Performance's gear-based LSD sends torque to the wheel with traction before the car’s brake-based traction control fights the slip.
On road and on track, your Tesla will put better power down. That can feel faster, improve traction, and reduce pointless wheel spin that wastes battery and reduces grip. This is a serious Tesla Model 3 mod. Expect professional labor and know that some drive unit or warranty coverage could be affected.
Unplugged Performance sway bars
Upgraded adjustable sway bars cut body roll and tighten handling. With multiple adjustment settings, you can tune the balance between comfort and cornering bite. Unplugged Performance sway bars uses durable bushings and a stout design, so changes are instantly noticeable.

For drivers who push their Model 3 on twisty roads or track days, this Tesla Model 3 upgrade makes the steering more honest and the chassis more planted. Pick a softer setting for street use and firm it up for track work. Alignment and setup matter, so have a shop dial it in.
T Sportline sport or comfort suspension kits
Teslas are known for their harsh ride. T Sportline offers two directions in the suspension department: Comfort and Sport. The Comfort kit smooths out bumps and makes the ride more compliant without turning the car into a pillow. The Sport kit tightens body control and gives quicker damping for aggressive driving.
Both kits are engineered around Koni shocks and pair with different springs and ride heights, so you can lower the car for looks and handling or even lift it for more clearance. Choose Sport if you chase corners. Choose Comfort for a nicer daily ride. This is a practical Tesla Model 3 upgrade for comfort or performance.
Wheels and wheel spacers
Wheels change the car more than any other visual mod. 18-inch wheels are common for track setups because they save rotating mass and allow a wide range of tire sizes. Bigger 21-inch wheels look dramatic on the street and are ideal if you want visual impact.

Wheel spacers let you tune stance and fitment. You can push out your aftermarket wheels to fill the wheel well better. Look for hubcentric spacers and good build quality for a reliable Tesla Model 3 mod. Have tires mounted and balanced by a pro and recheck alignment after any change.
Fukin Tuned Accelerator Response Controller
Throttle controllers alter the pedal mapping so the car feels more immediate. Even on EVs with full torque delivered from the get-go. But even EVs are affected by pedal delay, as they also use the same drive-by-wire technology as ICE vehicles. Fukin Tuned accelerator response controller is the ultimate fix for the lag. It is controlled wirelessly, causing no clutter in the minimalist dash of the Model 3. It connects seamlessly with OEM plugs and does not affect your Tesla’s stock systems and unique features.
Fukin Tuned does not add more power or torque, but it modifies the stock pedal signal and make the response instant. You can customize the pedal response with 4 modes and 36 settings, to find the perfect response for your driving needs. You can smooth out the pedal response and get more range out of one full charge, set it up razor-sharp to enhance your spirited drives, or anything in between.

WeatherTech all-weather floor mats
WeatherTech's all-weather mats trap mud, water, and salt so the carpet stays dry and clean. The material stays flexible in cold weather, and the underside grip prevents shifting and sliding. These mats are a small investment that will improve daily life and protect your Model 3's cabin.
Matte screen protector
A matte screen protector cuts glare and fingerprints on the center display, improving visibility while driving. Good films maintain touch sensitivity and protect the screen from scratches. This low-risk Tesla Model 3 accessory keeps your interior looking sharp and makes your screen more practical.

Sunshade for the glass roof
Tinting the glass roof does not solve the heating issue on hot summer days. The glass roof itself gets hot and reflects that heat into the cabin. So the real solution is a sunshade. A retractable sunshade reduces heat coming through the panoramic roof. A good fit installs without drilling and sits solid. Cutting cabin heat makes driving more comfortable and can even ease battery load on hot days as it lets you ease off the A/C.
