If you’re serious about beating the Cannonball Run EV record in a Tesla, it’s not just about charging strategy — it’s about aerodynamics, efficiency, and precision engineering. In this third episode of our EV Cannonball Run series, we’re diving deep into the aero mods that could make or break a 2,800-mile record attempt across America. In this video, we reveal the aerodynamic upgrades we made to our 2025 Tesla — mods designed to cut drag, boost range, and improve high-speed stability. Every watt counts when you’re chasing history. ⚡ What You’ll See in This Video: How lowering springs from Unplugged Performance reduce drag by lowering the car’s ride height and cutting airflow turbulence. Why we installed adjustable rear camber arms to maintain proper alignment and avoid wasting energy through tire friction. How the Hansshow high-efficiency rear spoiler helps increase range and stability by minimizing wake turbulence — inspired by the Frozen Tesla YouTube tests showing up to a 6% range improvement. @FrozenTesla Spoiler Test Video www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KgyO0cbohQ&t=269s HALOBLK Halodisc 2 aero wheel covers, which add up to 26 extra miles of range per full charge. @dadstoyscars Halodisc range test www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d2li6iJyGc Why we didn’t delete the side mirrors — and the legal, practical reasons that might save our run from ending in flashing blue lights. 🧠 Key Takeaways: Each mod — the lower stance, the spoiler, and the aero wheels — may seem small on its own, but together they create a powerful stack of efficiency gains. On a Cannonball run, every mile matters. A few percent here, a few minutes there, can be the difference between breaking the record or just missing it. We’re chasing a record that’s all about range, speed, and strategy — and this Tesla build is engineered for exactly that. 🧩 Featured Parts & Brands: Unplugged Performance Dual-Rate Lowering Springs unpluggedperformance.com/product/tesla-model-3-lowering-springs/ Adjustable Rear Camber Arms unpluggedperformance.com/product/billet-adjustable-rear-camber-arm-set-for-tesla-model-3/ Hansshow High-Efficiency Rear Spoiler www.hansshow.com/products/tesla-model-3-highland-real-carbon-fiber-tail-spoiler-wing-rear-trunk-lip-lid-inspired-by-model-3-performance-hansshow?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=web HALO Black Aero Wheel Covers (Hay-low-disk-two) www.haloblk.com/?ref=GHT&utm_source=affiliate (Links in the description are NOT SPONSORED — these are just the products that worked best for our setup.) 📹 Catch Up on the Series: Part 1: The Cannonball Run… ELECTRIFIED www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMywsShSjx0 Part 2: CAN A Tesla Beat The Cannonball Run? www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX5VhfT0IIo Part 3 (You’re Here): Tesla Model 3 Cannonball Run Build – Part 1 Be sure to visit us on social media!
