Kit Out Your Tesla With These Killer Mods

More than any other vehicle manufacturer, Tesla has redefined brand image in the 21st century, becoming not just another car company, but something closer to a lifestyle for its countless devoted fans. And really, it’s not surprising to see the company inspire such loyalty.

After all, Tesla is cool — from cutting-edge, can’t-get-it-anywhere-else technologies like Autopilot and Smart Summon, to its uniquely quirky nods to nerd culture. Things like hiding a (fictional) James Bond-inspired submarine mode in the Model S’s Air Suspension settings screen as an Easter Egg, or dubbing its most hardcore acceleration mode “Plaid Mode” as a reference to Spaceballs.

If you’re a Tesla owner, you know: you take tremendous pride in your ride, and you always want it to look, feel, and perform at its best. So, to help you out, we’ve partnered with our friends at MGP Caliper Covers to provide a list of some of the most impressive, slick-looking, and functional modifications you can deploy on your Tesla today. These mods range from handy, practical lifesavers that you’ll use every day to image-boosting styling tweaks whose only purpose is to look fly, covering a wide range of price points, so there’s something for everyone.

Ever wish you could fully open the lid to your front trunk (or “frunk”) at the push of a button? Wish no more. A company called Evannex has come up with this nifty pneumatic strut kit for the Tesla Model 3 that installs in all of ten minutes and fully raises the lid in one smooth motion for easy access. That’s a much-needed aid if you’re frequently juggling a kid and a few bags of groceries as you’re walking to your car.

These performance pedal covers come from the same folks who bought you the Model 3 pneumatic frunk lid strut kit, and they’re an upgrade you’ll notice each and every time you hop in for a drive. With a stylish brushed aluminum look that really pops, they also feature rubber grips to make sure your feet don’t slip off while you’re driving. There’s even an alloy dead pedal available, which helps keep grit and road salt out and keep your Tesla’s carpeting nice and clean.

One of Tesla’s most distinctive — and prized — features is its large center stack touchscreen – the interface for every conceivable function the vehicle has to offer, from its heating and cooling system to the adjustable air suspension (plus those aforementioned Easter Eggs). It’s a massively crucial component, and you’d do well to keep it protected. Hence this tempered glass screen protector, which is scratch-resistant, fingerprint-resistant and installs with minimal effort. There’s even a glare-reducing matte-finish option if you find the shine of the original glass to be a bit much.

If there’s one thing that Tesla proves, it’s that everything’s better when you go electric. Case in point: this Electric Tailgate lift kit, which uses a pair of reliable electric struts that not only opens the rear trunk lid in one smooth sweep, but can also close it softly at the touch of a button. It even integrates nicely with the Tesla App, touchscreen, and key fob too, as well as Tesla’s available foot-activated Smart Open. You’ve got a premium car. Doesn’t it deserve some premium features?
