11 of the Coolest Tesla Y Mods Coming Out of Australia

The electric revolution in the Land Down Under is more than just a mere transition to sustainable transport.

It’s an emerging culture, a fusion of style and eco-consciousness, where Tesla’s Model Y takes centre stage. In this piece, we have rounded up 11 of the most eye-catching Model Y modifications, straight out of Australia.

After trawling through the ‘Tesla Mods Australia’ Face

book page, we’ve found our favourite mods – showcasing the eclectic mix of custom designs – from impressive lifts to trendy wraps, striking wheels and more.

We’ve broken it down into four main categories depending on how far you want to go (and how much you want to spend) on your mods!

THE MOST POPULAR Y MODS BY CATEGORY

Budget-Friendly DIY Modifications 

For Tesla owners who love to add their personal flair to their ride but are on a budget or prefer DIY, fear not. A vast array of inexpensive, easy-to-install modifications can make your Model Y look unique.

• Wheel covers: Change up the wheel covers for a striking and unique look. 
• Ambient Lighting: Install LED ambient lighting strips to create a cool lighting effect in your Tesla.
• Center Console Vinyl Wrap: Change the look of your centre console with a vinyl wrap designed for Tesla models.
• Emblem Blackout: Use vinyl or plasti-dip to blackout or colourize the Tesla emblems for a unique touch.
• Licence Plate: Add a customised licence plate/frame to show off your style.
• Chrome Delete: Transform the appearance by removing or covering the chrome accents with vinyl wraps or trim pieces.

Professional Cosmetic Modifications

For those who are willing to go a step further in customization, professional modifications like tinting and colour wraps can drastically enhance your Model Y’s appearance.

• Tinting: Tinting not only adds a level of privacy but also creates a polished look to your Model Y. Consider options like ceramic window tints which can provide superior UV protection while enhancing your vehicle’s overall aesthetic.
• Colour Wraps: Wraps allow you to completely change your vehicle’s colour without permanent alterations. From satin black wraps for a stealthy look to full chrome wraps for that eye-catching shine, the possibilities are endless.
• PPF: Beyond cosmetics and performance, safeguarding your Model Y’s pristine look is equally important, and that’s where Paint Protection Film (PPF) comes into play. PPF is a durable, high-grade clear or coloured film applied to your vehicle’s exterior to protect its paint from scratches, stone chips, bird droppings, and harsh weather conditions. You can choose clear or coloured.

Gadget & Accessory Mods

The inside of your Model Y can be as unique as the outside. From cool headlining replacements to unique accents, the sky’s the limit when it comes to personalising your interior.

• Headlining Replacements: Replacing the standard headlining with more luxurious materials like felt or suede can dramatically elevate your Tesla’s interior ambience.
• Custom Accents: Adding accents to your interior can make your Model Y truly one-of-a-kind. Consider options like carbon fibre dash wraps, custom floor mats, or even LED ambient lighting for an upscale look and feel.
• Seat Upgrades or Covers: Depending on your comfort preferences and aesthetic tastes, you might consider upgrading the seats or adding high-quality seat covers. This can involve changing the upholstery to a different material, such as leather or suede, or even a complete seat upgrade for added comfort.
• Storage Solutions: Additional storage solutions, such as trunk and frunk organisers or backseat storage compartments, can help keep your Tesla neat and tidy

Protection & Performance Mods

Performance mods are a great way to improve the already-impressive features of the Model Y. From upgraded brake callipers to lowering springs, these mods can provide both functional benefits and a sleeker look.

• Brake Callipers: Upgrading to high-performance brake callipers not only improves your Model Y’s stopping power but can also add a pop of colour visible through your wheels, creating a performance-inspired look.
• Lowering Springs: Lowering springs can give your Model Y a sportier stance and improved handling, with the added benefit of better aerodynamics which can increase overall efficiency.
• Performance Tires: Upgrading to performance tires can greatly improve your Model Y’s handling, responsiveness, and traction, particularly in high-speed situations or on challenging road conditions.
• Lightweight Components: Replacing heavy components such as seats or wheels with lightweight alternatives can reduce the car’s overall weight, potentially improving acceleration, handling, and efficiency.
