Hellow fellow racers can someone be nice enough to give me some tuneing suggestions for handling this car please for A class
Is there something in particular that you are finding hard about it?
Is it not doing what you want it to do on the track?

When iam going through a right turn iam losimg my backend and usally end up into a 360
Are you losing the backend when off the gas, when first getting back on the gas or mid turn when you are staying on the gas?
Have you already tuneds the car or are you currnetly using default settings?
If you have already tuned please post the tune here or send it to me via PM.
I don’t recall if my Tesla is A class or S1 but it’s fairly competent. It is AWD however. I find the biggest disadvantage to the Tesla the lack of battery upgrades therefore limiting the car to 145 mph top speed. The limitation in this is that the car accelerates like a rocket and gets to that speed so quickly it’s often lacking on even medium lengthed straights when compared to other cars. It’s all about getting as far ahead as possible in the corners and doing some strategic, non-contact blocking.
As for your actual issue: is it the right turn only or the left as well? Is in during corner entry, exit, or mid corner? Are you accelerating, decelerating, or on constant/mild throttle?
It could be one of many things:
Your differential setting may be too high
It may be your rear springs
It may be the anti-roll bars
It may be a combination of the two
I don’t think it would be a damping setting because I don’t think that would cause what I’m picturing you doing but more details never hurt for sure.
You might find these posts useful:

So its awd and the back end is breaking lose?
When is it breaking lose? Are you on the gas or not?
What are your diff settings?
Looking at the above I would suggest a lot more negative camber and reduce the gap from front to back. All of my suggesitons are tame and not what I would use but I am trying to head you in the right direction. View them as starting points to see if they fix the issue.
Try -2.5/ -2.5 to start with for camber.
Toe - personally I would get rid of it but your settings should be stabilising the car not making the back end loose. Most of my tunes use something close to zero unless I am testing something extreme.
Caster and Anti roll - I would use something very different but your settings should not be causing a rear end issue as you describe.
Springs - I can not remember the weight distribution of the Tesla but soften the rear springs.
I am confused by your rebound and bump settings - can’t work out which is front and rear. Once again I would use something quite different but to try and not make too radical a change for now try rebound 8.0/8.0 and bump 3.0/3.0.
Brakes I always use 55% / 110%. Do you mean 60% is the number on the brake balance slider? If so reduce that number as its too high and could make the back end slide if you brake heavily.
EDIT: just as a test please put steering to normal and see if the problem goes away. Are you using a wheel or controller? Have you adjusted the deadzones?
Actually rethinking this its possible the toe and anti roll bars are indirectly the problem.
They are understeer settings so what might be happening is you try to turn and find it won’t so try harder and in the end the back end lets loose.
Do you think that is what is happening?
Here are my tuning settings, if it helps. 50% weight distribution is correct.

yes Eduardo youre suggestions are helping as i finish a right my car usaly spins out now its just fine tuneing to where it dosent drift as much when iam doing rivals to compete for time but online it dosent hurt me as much because usaly the first turns is a disaster in itself anyways thanks!
Toe in will help your straight line stability and will bring the car more towards understeer.
Toe out will help your turning at the cost of potentially unsettling the car over bumps, rough surfaces, and straight line driving. It promotes turn in response.
I usually set my front toe to out and the rear tow to in to balance the car and I find it to be fairly stable. If both settings are too far in the car will not want to turn. To force the car to turn, you may have to do various things to [over]compensate which may cause the rear end to break loose.
TL;DR = I agree with SatNiteEduardo.
i took youre info as well Kitty ty
You are most welcome. I hope it helps, it looks like your approach fits your style and is foreign to me. But, sometimes seeing things from additional angles can help.
Luck and many Meows be with you.
I had this problem with Hennessey to PPI but have got that figured out the Tesla is almost there anyways tjanks for the help")
