AEM SDU Controller Kit - Tesla Model 3/Model Y
AEM EV builds dedicated control hardware for EV powertrain development, and the SDU Controller Kit is purpose built for owners running an AEM VCU on a Tesla Model 3 or Tesla Model Y. It replaces the factory inverter control board, giving calibrators direct access to propulsion strategy and input characterisation through AEMcal software.
This listing covers the Tesla Model 3 (RWD/LR) and Tesla Model Y (Long Range). The kit was co-developed with Cascadia Motion and includes the supplied communications harness needed to link the board to your AEM VCU.
Note: This SDU controller is only functional when paired with a compatible AEM VCU — it is not a standalone unit.
Key Features
- Acts as a VCU expansion device, replacing the stock Tesla inverter control board
- Connects to an AEM VCU via the supplied communications harness
- Enables propulsion strategy programming and input characterisation through AEMcal software
- Co-developed with Cascadia Motion for reliability in EV propulsion applications
Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and fitment notes are provided in the tabs above. Please confirm your Tesla's model, drivetrain and VCU setup before ordering.
