Tesla Tuning Shop Upgrades Model X Into A $175,000 Masterpiece

[@rudra7615]

The additions are cool, but man, is it me or the colour choices are ugly. Red logo, white body, orange gold rims, fibre glass windows that are grey black. Someone needs to do some colour matching. That black tesla looked good though

[@THEFIRE360]

well the client prob chose them so who cares

[@DeusEx.Machina]

Came here to say the same. Red logo upfront, bronze rims, and black logo at the back. Looks very stupid.

[@stijill]

I agree!!!

[@srikantapatra965]

Yeah..this looks like dull to me .

[@commonavionics6069]

I would rather just get a M5

[@maskyy5316]

Can't do performance tweaks so let's just slap in carbon fiber everything and update the expensive stuff with more expensive stuff. Creative.

I'm not in for it at all! I would ask them to add the carbon fiber just to the seat backs and maybe around the steering wheel.

Agreed. The color scheme is terrible as well with that red T on the front and the color of those rims. They trying to copy a 18yr old's 2005 BMW? hahaha

"wide body" it a basically a suv with new wheel arc... alot of mass production come with that wide anyhow... that why it don't look any better... not worth the money...may well buy some gold warp...

more like Customization than tuning, FACT is you cant tune a TESLA, the Software is Encrypted, so you cant change Anything there, you can However just get a Model X Performance in the FIRST place.

[@defintity_9951]

I mean, you can tune other electric cars. But I don’t get why Tesla won’t make their software open source.

"to even wheels"..... Bro wheels are the easiest part to customize....

[@andreask6278]

How is it a tune to add more weight to a car?

[@alaskanbullworm1632]

If it’s not a performance model there’s no point of spending that much money on upgrades.

[@scratchpad7954]

They show a glimpse of the screen for the instrument cluster that shows that this Tesla Model X _is_ a Performance Edition model. The way I have my video player set up makes the resolution and physical size of the screen too small to be able to see it for exactly sure, but I am very sure that this Tesla Model X is, in fact, a P100D Model X. Edit: (Simple fix) I blew the player up to fullscreen mode and, because the native resolution of my tablet is 1920x1080 (Full HD), I set the resolution setting to 1080p.

[@aveekmishra5048]

It’s a performance model, you can see a glimpse around the end of the cide

[@ricerocket4449]

I like how they hype up the wheels so much like nobody else has ever thought of the concept of aftermarket wheels before lol

Great to see people having fun with their Teslas. Living in LA I’ve seen quite a few of their cars and they look way better in person.

How much does it cost for the outside work and the wheels

[@davidtran1360]

Do these mods effect performance?

[@MINECRAFT007andother]

Putting styling aside, I wonder how it effects the performance of the car. I think after the customization it has at least 20 miles less on full charge. Like, teslas arent designed like that just for the looks, making it wider will screw up the aerodynamics. Plus bigger wheels = less range.

[@akilpanju9012]

Alternative title "What T-Largo is all about"

Who is this Walmart version of Phil Swift?

[@syahrulamri9215]

[@alanf5340]

These upgrades can be done by yourself if you know how to do it. Plus, carbon fiber doesn't cost that much. Also, adding these upgrades might impact the dynamic of the vehicle.

[@rip_fpv]

This guy really said he coined the phrase “chrome-delete” as if it hasn’t been around since before Tesla
