Model Y Performance with Maxton kit

[Gone2Electric]

Hi all,

Just had Motech install the Maxton kit today. Great service and really pleased with the look

Don’t suppose you asked if the kit can be removed again? Not sure my business lease company would be too thrilled if I fitted this and couldn’t take it off again..

 

[Gone2Electric]

Mines a business lease too. Yes Motech said it can be removed.

Very nice

i have the maxton kit on my model 3, subtle but add's so much

Looks very sporty. Just curious how it affects insurance cost, if at all? Every insurer I have gotten quotes from seems to dislike any modifications.

Nice subtle tinting effect to the paintwork, side and especially rear bodywork...

Seriously though, would be interesting to see if the rear diffuser alters the dirt magnet properties of the rear bodywork and camera.

I know it'll be business lease dependent, so i'll have to ring mine, but have yours happily added it to their insurance?

 

[Gone2Electric]

Yes its really transformed the car. Looks a lot meaner now.

How long did they need to fit it?

Whats the hit to efficiency like, if any at all?

Whats the hit to efficiency like, if any at all?

On a 2 hour journey there my predicted range went up by 4% on the way back it went up by 2%. Not sure if this is anything to go by but my driving style was pretty much the same there and back and did 70mph most of the way there and back.

Gave it a wash yesterday so will post some better pics tomorrow

Hmmm. This is very tempting. Do you mind telling me what you paid, all in?

 

[Gone2Electric]

Just over £700 fitted

Was going to ask the same thing!

A few more pics

How does it fair over speedbumps?

I'm not familiar with Model Y ride height, but if that was a Model 3, from the pictures I would think the side skirts would be struggling for clearance over many.

Likewise with side skirts, how are they fixed and what sort of arrangement is there around the jacking points?

Not my cup of tea, but asking because I am curious on how they are fixed and practicalities.

 

[Gone2Electric]

No issues with clearance or jacking points. The whole kit was installed whilst up on all four jacking points. Kit is stuck and screwed on. My issue is there are so many Teslas on the road its nice to be a little bit difference and really makes it stand out with the the kit on. Works well with the gloss black wheels too.
