Going off-road with an electric vehicle (EV) poses challenges, such as the lack of charging stations near trails. But Unplugged Performance may encourage more Tesla Model Y owners to explore more by introducing the 18-inch UP-03 Beadlock Off-Road Spec Forged Wheels.
As the name suggests, the wheel is bead-locked, which helps hold the wheel and tire more securely. This is perfect for cars like EVs, as high torque applications can cause slippage between the wheel and tire. Model Y owners could use this wheel setup for $1,123.75 (sold individually).
For the price, the UP-03 wheel improves off-road capability by maximizing traction. The bead lock capability reduces tire pressure to as low as 5 psi to increase the contact patch. The wheel is created in aerospace-grade forged aluminum for maximum strength, making it lighter than steel alternatives.
