What kind of mods have people been doing with Teslas? Probably see a lot of overlap there.
Some of the most common mods I've seen are:

Vinyl wrapping the door handles, window trim, badges
Tint
Lighted badge
Protective film
Painted brakes

Rust proofing and yearly touch-up applications to make the vehicle last as long as those suggesting "lifetime". Especially true when one lives where snow and road salt usage is common.

Here's what I'd do...driving lights like the '68 Shelby...and paint it orange.

So the XPEL is over a wrap? You don't have any exposed paint? Or just the hood is wrapped?

My understanding is UV is supposed to pass through XPEL in order for the paint to fade at the same rate as non-XPEL covered areas. Have you noticed this to be true?

When you say you wax are you talking about the XPEL too? Or do you just wash it and that's it?
Apologies for the much-delayed response. I decided the topic of PPF was rich enough that it likely deserves it's own thread, and have answered there.

I missed the 1st Edition run, so I’ll probably get a full wrap, similar colour to Carbonised Grey, but only if I can’t wrap just the wheel arches in an exact paint match.

I might look into some 20in aftermarket rims... I don’t mind sacrificing a bit of range.

I came across this video recently... it’sa couple months old, but interesting chat with Ford here where they touch on how they might sell or offer subscriptions to over the air mod packages for the MME... jump to around 11.04

Wow!!! Amazing comments under the video :) Are people really that brainwashed??? :rolleyes:

I plan on doing many of the same mods that I have done to my Model S. Lower it, get lighter wheels, and tint the windows. Basic and tasteful seems to get the job done. I went Shadow black so I wouldn't have to mess with the premium grill, but I would have just blacked that out as well.

They have been adding engine sounds: (Unlike the Mach-E you can hear these on the outside of the car LOL)

I was playing around in Affinity Photo and think dipping the stock wheels in gloss black and lowering it is also an option.

Overall the best performance mods for EVs come from weight reduction and wider tires. I would rather bring the Mach-E closer to a car than an SUV.

Has anyone confirmed the bolt pattern of Mach E wheels?
