Just when I had given up hope of seeing that LS FD in film ever again, it re-enters our lives as a glue drying rack for a Tesla rear seat delete panel.

You can save about 40 pounds with 18 inch Enkei RPF1 wheels and rotational weight is a better way to save weight.

SO what is the total amount of weight reduced?

make a template and sell this as a rear seat delete kit. I think you will have some buyers.

How much did this improve acceleration, cornering, track time, ect? I've been debating on removing as much extra weight as possible from my model y performance, including new tires.

Im going to guess its hardly noticeable without seeing the metrics. Drive Mod is probably the better payoff

Mid-pack recreational runner here. I'm about 170lbs... about 10 lbs heavier than my average weight over the last 20 years and can totally feel it when I'm racing, and my race times reflect this. For something the size of a grown man, that 10 pounds translates into a lot of extra energy required to move myself forward. Have you considered weight-savings based on the weight of the driver, especially since many of the individual parts you're totaling are ~5lbs or less?

I was also once a “semi” competitive mid distance runner that got down to 175lb as a 6’2” male. Unfortunately I wasn’t happy with the way I felt or looked while training. In the past 5 years I’ve gravitated towards lifting and sit at 250, generally get down to about 230lb in the summer. I’ve never felt better and don’t intend to lose body weight for auto racing purposes at this point in my life.

Would love to see this becoming a series. I think its a niche, more and more people getting into Teslas now are exploring. Thats alsow why I made some acceleration runs on the autobahn with the Model 3 Performance, as there are little to no videos out there doing it right.

i’ve done it, it’s only weights about 30 ish pounds, 40 pounds including my trunk mat, i wouldn’t suggest it unless you have adjustable suspension unless you’re just about straight line speed. i had a set of unplugged performance lowering springs and they car actually sat about a quarter to a half inch higher with the rear gutted and that was enough to throw off the balance handling wise. waiting to get the car back from tesla to install my coilovers so that should fix the problem
