Tesla Roadster — Power Steering Conversion (Speed-Sensitive)
If low-speed maneuvering and parking feel heavy, this conversion adds precise, speed-sensitive assist while
preserving the Roadster’s direct, connected steering feel at speed.
Why install it
- Effortless parking & tight turns: Dramatically reduces steering effort at low speeds.
- Keeps Roadster feel: Assist tapers at higher speeds for natural, communicative feedback.
- Daily-drivable: Makes city driving and garages far more manageable.
How it works
The system adds an assist unit with both manual and automatic speed-sensitive control.
A speed pickup at the rear of the odometer feeds the controller: assist is high at parking speeds and
automatically throttles back as road speed increases.

- Power steering assist unit & controller
