Tesloid Sound Dampening Aluminum Skid Plates will protect your Tesla Model 3 or Model Y front and rear drive units while dampening road noise. They are made from 1/8" thick powder-coated aluminum, along with 1/8" sound dampening urethane foam. The skid plates are simple to install using all original TESLA screws.
The Model 3's are produced with a flimsy cloth-like material in front of, and behind the battery trays. This cloth can easily tear or rip, and or be punctured by speed bumps, steep driveways, or even road debris. It also allows road-noise, tire noise, and underbody wind noise to travel upwards towards the cabin. With our sound-dampening skid plates, your vehicle's motors and axles will be better protected while making it quieter in the passenger cabin.
Road Noise Reduction:
Sound meter testing has been done with and without the sound dampening skid plates and the difference varied based on road surface smoothness, wind direction, and other variables. On average we measured a difference of 3 to 5 decibels. Also, the location of the sound meter was key.
It's also fair to note that Tesla Model 3 has all 5 of our other noise reduction products on it as well, so having an even quieter cabin made it easier to distinguish the difference with and without this product being installed.
