Installation of performance-enhancing hacks on Tesla cars has been a staple for some EV enthusiasts, some of the modifications proving to be beneficial to performance, but not to the vehicle. They may provide, in some cases, even an increase of 50HP and unlock extra features. with the introduction of some additional devices. These devices are now unrecognized by the car, as of the latest update for all Tesla models are prompting incompatible vehicle modification detected” when a performance enhancer is installed. 

From Tesla’s point of view, the update makes sense, as the extra features that a device like this provides is an unlock that the company provides for $2.000. If you can get a device off of eBay and use a tutorial on Youtube to install it yourself, for a fraction of the cost, the company is going to suffer in the long run. There is also the risk of car damage that a foreign upgrade equipment present, as these performance-enhancing kits are not Tesla sanctioned per se. 

Reddit users discovered that the latest software update prevents any car tampering or hack on Tesla’s Model 3. And, of course, companies like, Ingenext, that provide these upgrade kits, are going to fight back, announcing that they will come up with a solution to the update that allows users to use the mod without any problems. 

Regardless of any enchanting benefits that a kit like the one Ingenext is providing, they can pose a treat to the driver. Not to mention any potential damage that the car manufacturer will not cover, as is derived from an alien device. Even the installation of a device that circumvents software-locking features that are factory standard, is breaking some laws. On the other hand, the enthusiast scene is willing to sacrifice a car, or two for a horsepower boost.
