WE HACKED A TESLA MODEL 3 TO ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND IT’S FANTASTIC!

EV Channels Review

This video documents a comprehensive conversion of a rear-wheel-drive Tesla Model 3 Long Range into an all-wheel-drive performance variant. The process involves adding a front drive unit, axles, struts, and a dual-motor battery, along with custom wiring and programming. The reviewer highlights the significant performance gains, noting a reduction in 0-60 time from 4.3 to 3.8 seconds. Additionally, a performance boost from Electrified Garage's Stage 1 tune is applied. A notable upgrade includes Model S rear calipers and two-piece rotors for enhanced braking. A surprising addition is a dual exhaust sound system, which the reviewer humorously integrates. While the conversion is presented as feasible, the cost is estimated between $11,000-$13,000 installed, with parts often sourced from salvaged vehicles via companies like Kali Motive. The reviewer concludes that while the conversion is impressive, it's a complex and costly endeavor.
