Tesla Model Y upgraded by Novitec

After the Tesla Model S, Model 3 and Model X, Novitec decided to upgrade the Tesla Model Y. A special tuning package gives this electric crossover a more aggressive look.

The car received an adjustable aluminum suspension that allows it to be lowered by 40 mm, which increases the vehicle’s aerodynamics. It is equipped with carbon components that include a front lip spoiler that reduces lift on the front axle at higher speeds, a new spoiler on the tailgate and a diffuser in the rear bumper create a more elegant look at the rear, and visually connect with the new skirts. There is also a set of 22-inch forged rims, in 72 different colors, wrapped in 255/30 (front) and 285/30 (rear) tires. Novitec claims that the new set of rims not only gives a more aggressive look but also improves the handling of the crossover. Also, the consumption of electricity over long distances is reduced by up to 7 percent.

Inside, various interior customization options are offered including a wide range of colors and materials. The seats are upholstered in black leather that also covers the door panels and the central console, while the ceiling is upholstered in Alcantara. There are also carbon details on the dashboard and door panels.

When it comes to the powertrain, Novitec hasn’t changed anything. Tesla Model Y is powered by two independent electric motors with a total power of 450 hp (336 kW) and 471 lb-ft (639 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (241 km/h).

Off-road Tesla Model Y

At a time when manufacturers of super fast cars are entering the world of all-terrain vehicles, some still remain loyal to tradition. One of them is Tesla, which, as things stand now, will not yet present an all-terrain edition. However, if you were wondering what such a Tesla would look like, the answer is provided by the German tuner Delta4x4, which revealed its vision of the off-road Tesla Model Y.

The tuner did not work on major changes. The suspension has received an additional 35 mm of height so that the car is 220 mm off the ground, making it suitable for all terrains. This change also required new tires, so the Model Y received a set of 20-inch Klassik_B rims wrapped in 265/45R20 Continental Cross Contact ATR tires. Additional equipment includes the installation of a large roof rack with LED light bar, new circular lights on the front fascia and wider front and rear wheel arches.

The powertrain was not changed, and there was no need. Tesla Model Y is powered by two electric motors with 450 hp (336 kW) and 471 lb-ft (639 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (241 km/h). It is equipped with a 75 kWh battery pack that provides a range of 298 miles (480 km).

How much this modification will affect Tesla to produce an all-terrain vehicle based on one of its super fast cars remains to be seen.

Tesla Model Y

If you were planning to buy a Tesla Model Y, you could wait because a cheaper version with a better battery is coming soon. It is a car with equipment that has not been seen before, and the company reportedly delivered several such versions to its employees at the Giga Rodeo event in Texas last week.

The new Model Y is equipped with a 4,680-cell battery, which is twice as much as the current ones used by Tesla. The battery has five times the capacity, which allows the company to increase the range of its vehicles or use fewer batteries to achieve the same range, thus potentially reducing costs.

The current Model Y in the new Standard Range AWD version has a range of 449 kilometers and accelerates to 62 mph in five seconds. It costs $ 59,000, which is $ 3,000 less than the Long Range AWD version.

With the new model, Tesla is trying to present its strategy of producing a $ 25,000 car. While it will take time for a new battery to come into every Tesla electric car, it should still help maintain prices and improve range.
