Tesla Model Y as a two-seater

France has about 6.5 million commercial vehicles, so Tesla decided to offer French businessmen a car that offers an additional alternative for transporting goods or as an emergency vehicle, the Tesla Model Y.

Some European countries have different taxes that apply to different types of vehicles, so manufacturers try to adapt and offer a car that will fall into the category of commercial vehicles with zero emissions. The new version of the Model Y, without the rear seats, does just that. “Tesla has developed the Model Y as a two-seater with a cargo volume of 2,158 liters and a range of 565 kilometers. This model meets the requirements for commercial vehicle taxation. This ecological and efficient solution offers an additional alternative to professional mobility, either for the transport of goods or as an intervention vehicle,” Clement Maguet posted on LinkedIn.

Tesla is not the first brand to turn a four-seater into a commercial vehicle. Other manufacturers do the same to avoid higher taxes. It is not known how much the vehicle will cost.

Manhart carbon equipment kits for BMW X5M and X6M

Manhart is one of the world’s best tuners, especially when it comes to BMW models. This time, the German tuning company has prepared carbon equipment kits for BMW SUV models X5M and X6M. These are refreshed editions that arrived on the market last year, and which, thanks to Manhart, now look better and have more power.

SUVs from the Bavarian manufacturer received more aggressive looking hoods, a front spoiler, inserts in the middle section and on the sides of the front bumper, details of the rear bumper, two spoilers one each on the roof and tailgate, as well as accessories for the fenders and rear bumper , and sports thresholds.

When it comes to the powertrain, the standard X5M is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine making 625 hp (460 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Now thanks to improvements, this model has a whopping 800 hp (596 kW).

Carbon parts not only improve the appearance, but also improve aerodynamics and reduce the weight of the model. Customers can attach the components with adhesives or screws.
