Right now, it is pretty safe to say that Tesla and anything related to it represents one of the hottest subjects across the automotive industry – from Elon Musk and Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu riding in a Cybertruck to a mother and daughter getting 'trapped' inside a rental Tesla EV.
For sure, not every piece of news is favorable, as there are plenty of slip-ups from the young company. However, the zero-emissions automaker still has two of the most important models in the EV field – the recently upgraded Tesla Model 3 (Highland) and the absolute best-seller, its Model Y crossover sibling.
Speaking of those two, Tesla has simply debunked the myth that prices can only go up – especially during these times of ultra-high inflation. As such, currently, the Model 3 starts at $40,240 with the RWD configuration, followed by the dual-motor AWD versions – Long Range from $47,240 and Performance from $53,240. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model Y has some bad news – only the dual-motor AWD variants are available for order: Long Range from $50,490 and Performance from $54,490. And why is that is pretty simple to understand – the Model Y's best-seller title after the first six months of the year.
In fact, the mid-size crossover SUV is in high demand everywhere, from China to Europe and also in North America, where it became the fourth best-selling nameplate in the United States behind the F-Series, Chevy Silverado, and Ram trucks after the first six months of the year with more than 190k units delivered and a surge in sales of 76%.
Naturally, that has attracted a lot of attention everywhere. Including the aftermarket world or the imaginative realm of digital car content creators – and sometimes from both simultaneously. For example, a virtual automotive designer, better known as a.c.g_design on social media, tries to help a Canada-based aftermarket company gain some much-needed notoriety.
And we do not mind the attempt as the virtual Tesla Model Y is well done and looks quite spectacular when clad in a well-designed carbon fiber body kit. The styling and manufacturing of the parts was done by a company called Rax Performance, and it includes a front lip, a spoiler, plus a diffuser. Combined with a dark gray Model Y color, menacing black wheels, and some red brake calipers for a nice effect, this package looks more than compelling if you want to stand out in any EV crowd.
Besides, suppose you don't have a Tesla Model Y. In that case, the Canadian company also manufactures and sells (worldwide) a wide range of selected parts, from racing-focused body kits to rare carbon fiber parts. And a quick look on their online portal shows they are not mistaken, as availability stretches across the roster of most crucial car brands, from Alfa Romeo to Volkswagen and Dodge to Subaru.
