Tesla’s Freshest EVs Look Epic Once The Aftermarket Gets Hold Of Them

If you’re into tuner stuff, you’ve probably heard about T-Demand. The Japanese tuning firm, which has a penchant for bagging automobiles, has made a Toyota Prius look cooler than it already is. Even the Crown Signia SUV, which is supposed to be grand and elegant, looks absolutely stunning after T-Demand got its hand on it.

But T-Demand doesn’t limit itself to Japanese brands. In fact, it has turned its attention to Tesla, particularly the latest versions of the Model 3 and Model Y, and both EVs get an epic look with lower, aggressive stances that are as cool as they are impractical. Now, before picking up that phone and calling T-Demand, there’s one thing you should know – the upgrades don’t come cheap, so set your expectations.

Slammed With Negative Camber Combo

There’s a common theme in T-Demand’s work on the Model 3 and Model Y: air suspension. Both EVs come with custom suspension arms and three-stage height-adjustable air suspension. The latter sits so close to the ground in its lowest setting, while the highest setting is even “higher than the stock height,” according to the company. That’s pretty neat when needed, especially on more unforgiving roads.

Here are all the changes made to Tesla’s best-selling crossover.

To match the slammed stance, both Tesla EVs also get a wider stance through negative camber on both front and rear wheels. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but if they’re yours, T-Demand can do that for you. A set of bigger alloys is also added to the recipe, with the Model Y Juniper getting a bigger 21-inch set equipped with Nitto tires. The Model 3 Highland has a smaller 20-inch set, though it has a steeper negative camber.

A Bit On The Pricey Side

T-Demand also upgraded the brakes on the Tesla EVs, with huge 15-inch front and rear rotors available to order. According to the company, the same-sized front and rear rotors will eliminate the discomfort of front-dropping when braking, with the brakes designed not to upset front-and-rear balance. There’s also a smaller set at a lower price, which is something you could go for if your budget’s tight.

Speaking of pricing, the air suspension kit with pressure management system is priced at ¥780,000, or around $5,400 at the current exchange rates.
