Aja model 3...
Al derde tuner die het model 3 onder handen neemt, er rijden er steeds meer. (~ 41.200 in West-Europa na 7 maand)
Geen enkele van de drie gaat of hoeft aan de power te prutsen want al ruim voldoende. Ik denk ook niet dat ze er verstand van hebben...
Voor de liefhebbers.

Tesla's Model 3 is ook in het bijzondere hoekje van autoland dat bevolkt wordt door tuners een populair model. Ditmaal is het veredelaar Novitec die zich op Tesla's kleinste model stort.
Eerder waren het tuners als Vorsteiner en RevoZport die hun versies van Tesla's Model 3 toonden en nu laat ook Novitec zien hoe Tesla's jongste in zijn ogen het beste voor de dag komt.

Bepaalde tuners beloven -en meten- minder luchtweerstand en meer downforce door fijntuning, meestal ook door de wagen enkele cms dieper leggen met andere veren, daar lijdt het comfort wel onder.
Dit betekent navenant meer range als de banden niet te breed worden.

Tesla tuner develops Model 3 mods to improve drag, efficiency, and range
Fred Lambert - Mar. 13th 2019
...
That’s exactly what Tesla tuner Unplugged Performance set out to do and they claim to have the data to back it up.
We reported on Unplugged Performance (UP) on several occasions before for their interesting Tesla modifications, but those were geared toward performance or aesthetics, as most vehicle tuners.
In an interview with Electrek at Unplugged’s headquarters in Los Angeles last month, CEO Ben Schaffer said they wanted to try something new for Model 3 and actually develop products geared toward efficiency instead of performance and aesthetic. Though ideally, they are aiming for a balance of all three.
...
In CFD simulation, UP found a “6.6% total decrease in vehicle drag, further reduces the total drag coefficient by 0.015, and provides a 35.4% improvement in front downforce.”
Based on the simulation, the reduction in drag is just as impressive as the front lip with “a total vehicle drag reduction of 6.3%” and the “rear downforce was increased over baseline by 83.7%.”
They have finalized the development of the rear spoiler only very recently and it has yet to go through its final production phase, but they started taking orders on their website for $695.
Finally, another, more obvious, way to reduce drag is lowering the vehicle, which UP can do with its linear lowering spring set for Model 3 for $365 – $420.
Unplugged Performance explained the results of the CFD testing with the lower suspension heights:
As the testing has illustrated, the 1.5” lower ride height provided by installation of the springs yields a reduction in overall vehicle drag. The vehicle’s total drag after lowering factory ride height of 28.5 inches to 27.0 inches (measured at center of the front fender) was reduced by 8.1%. This further lessened the vehicle’s total drag coefficient (Cd) by 0.019.
