Behind the Scenes at Unplugged Performance: Tesla Upgrades and Open House Tour
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at Unplugged Performance, you're in for a treat. In my latest video, I took you on an exclusive tour of their open house in Hawthorne, California—right next door to SpaceX and the Tesla Design Studio. We explored everything from their installation bays and development areas to their headquarters where you can snag the latest upgrades. Whether you're all about boosting performance, improving handling, or enhancing luxury and comfort, Unplugged Performance has something for every Tesla owner. As someone who prioritizes ride comfort in my own Teslas, I love how their mods can make your daily drive feel like a spa day on wheels. Let's dive into the highlights!
Why Unplugged Performance Stands Out
Unplugged Performance isn't just about making your Tesla faster—it's about elevating the entire ownership experience. From suspension tweaks that smooth out bumpy roads to aesthetic upgrades that turn heads, their products blend performance with practicality. And with an expected crowd of over 300 Tesla enthusiasts at the open house, it was the perfect spot to see modified rides in action. Plus, they're conveniently located in Hawthorne, making it a breeze for LA locals to drop by.
Before we even stepped inside, I wanted to shout out their brand-new rewards program. If you're eyeing your first Tesla upgrade, sign up now (link in the description of my video) to score instant promos on your account. It's a no-brainer for saving on those must-have mods!
Sneak Peek: The Unplugged Spa and Waiting Area
We kicked things off with a pre-crowd sneak peek to give you a clear view without the hustle. First up: their luxurious new waiting area, designed for ultimate comfort while your Tesla gets pampered. This is where they handle tints, ceramic coatings, wraps, and paint protection film (PPF). Fun fact—this is the exact spot where I got my Tesla Cybertruck wrapped!
The attention to detail here is insane. We spotted some standout vehicles:
- Salamandran's Cybertruck: Rocking a wild military-style wrap that screams fighter jet vibes, complete with the Cyberbeast package.
- Dune-Colored Cybertruck: A subtle yet striking look enhanced with UP front bumpers, side rockers, and carbon fiber fenders.
- My Own Cybertruck: Wrapped in Flexi Shield Shockwave with gold/bronze Cyberspoke wheels and a UP light bar—it's a head-turner!
- Other Gems: A blue Model 3 Performance on UP3 wheels and a gloss black Cybertruck with Cyber Hex wheels, bars, and all the trimmings.
Inside the Unplugged Performance Spa and Shop
The heart of the operation is the pristine Unplugged Spa, where all the magic happens for wraps, tinting, ceramic coatings, and detailing. They're partnered with Xel (check my Dennis Deal link below for great pricing on tints—they're even Tesla-approved!).
Connected seamlessly to the spa is their installation shop, where they've hooked up my Model 3 and Model Y with suspensions, wheels, and more. Highlights included:
- A Cybertruck in the works.
- The "Red Rocket" Model 3 loaded with performance parts.
- The "Dark Helmet" Model S race car.
- A sleek Model Y sporting the new Road Warrior wheels—these bad boys offer curb rash protection and improved efficiency.
Speaking of wheels, don't miss their wheel trade-in program! Trade in your stock wheels for a $1,000 credit—available nationwide with shipping options. Head to their website (linked below) to learn more.
The Open House Vibes: Customer Cars and More
No open house is complete without a parade of customer-modified Teslas. We saw an impressive lineup, including:
- Zach's Model 3 Performance and Model Y, both fully kitted.
- A satin black Cybertruck with new Cyberspoke wheels.
- Beza's iconic pink Cybertruck.
- Brian's fully Unplugged Performance-outfitted Cybertruck.
The energy was electric (pun intended), with tons of upgraded Teslas rolling in. It was a Tesla lover's dream!
