In the new energy vehicle market, Tesla Model 3 is undoubtedly one of the most popular models at present. Its consecutive monthly sales of more than 10,000 have made it unparalleled in the limelight. Last month’s sales were even more Breaking through 20,000. The reason is that in addition to the starting price of 249,900 yuan after subsidies, which makes it very cost-effective, excellent performance is also an important factor.
The Tesla Model?3 standard range upgraded version accelerates from 0-100km/h in only 5.6 seconds, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s pure electric range reaches 468km, which can meet most daily use requirements; long-range rear wheel The driving version accelerates from 0-100km/h in only 5.3 seconds, and has a cruising range of 668 kilometers. The convenience of long-distance driving is basically the same as that of traditional fuel vehicles. The PERFORMANCE high-performance version accelerates from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in just 3.4 seconds, which has reached the level of a supercar. The price is only 419,800 yuan, less than half of a fuel sports car of the same performance level.
Although the performance of Tesla Model 3 is quite strong, its styling design is very "grotty". If they weren't familiar with Tesla's performance, passers-by would really think it was an "ordinary grocery cart." Therefore, for Tesla Model 3 owners, it seems to be an essential task to upgrade their car to present the sporty performance it should have.
As the saying goes, "To modify a car, modify the bell first." A good set of wheels is the first step for many car enthusiasts to modify. Especially for new energy electric vehicles such as Tesla, the original body design pays special attention to wind resistance, and it is not suitable to make too many appearance kit changes on the body. Wheel hub modification is even more important. The original 18-inch wheels of Tesla Model 3 have been designed with a lot of thought in order to reduce wind resistance, but the original "plastic" hubcaps are indeed downgraded and look a bit ugly. Compared with Tesla's Sports performance is not the same, so the first thing many Model 3 owners do after buying a car is to upgrade the wheels.
However, for electric vehicles, upgrading suitable wheels is not a casual matter. In addition to wind resistance, we must also pay attention to the strength of the wheels, especially for models like Model 3. For high-power and high-torque rear-wheel-drive models, if you try to modify the wheel hubs with "fake imitations" for cheap, the wheel hubs will often break, which will affect driving safety.
In addition, many car owners may overlook one thing when modifying the wheels, and that is the weight of the car. Although the Tesla Model 3 is similar in size to the Honda Civic, its entry-level curb weight has reached 1,745kg, while the Civic is only 1,305kg, which is almost 8 adults heavier. In fact, the weight of the Tesla Model 3 is already the same as that of the Ford Escape four-wheel drive version, which also requires the wheels to have a higher load-carrying capacity. If ordinary car-modified wheels are used for later modifications, under long-term high-load use , it will also easily lead to safety problems such as cracking of the wheel hub.
Like the following Tesla Model 3 owner, he also compared many major international brands when upgrading the wheels, and finally chose the ASPEC brand MF87 after careful consideration. piece forged wheels.
According to the car owner, the reason for choosing this ASPEC? MF87 wheel is because he likes its asymmetric design. The double five-spoke design is paired with classic brushing technology and bronze paint treatment, which looks quite cool. It is harmonious and stylish, giving people an unforgettable sense of high-end, and it also brings out the aura of the Tesla Model 3 luxury car very well.
It is worth mentioning that this set of wheels benefits from a unique asymmetric concept. The sharp and slender spokes effectively reduce the wind resistance of the wheel hub during high-speed driving. At the same time, it also has an extremely solid geometric and mechanical structure in design, coupled with the single-piece forging manufacturing process, which makes it very high strength and lighter in weight, reducing the unsprung mass of the vehicle and bringing better vehicle dynamics. response.
As for the strength issue, in fact, in addition to complying with all international safety standards, ASPEC brand products have become the first brand to obtain the only designated wheel hub supplier for the CTCC China Touring Car Championship in 2017, MF77 and MF75? Two single-piece forged wheels have shone in the CTCC Touring Car Championship. They have withstood severe tests in extreme driving and even high-speed collisions, and have received unanimous praise from domestic and foreign professional racers. The ASPEC? MF75 wheels installed on the CTCC Super Cup racing car are exactly the same as the civilian version.
ASPEC? MF77 wheels have suffered numerous scratches from various collisions on CTCC racing cars, but they can still ensure the driver's triumph in extreme driving.
Whether it is considered in terms of reducing wind resistance, wheel strength or class, the ASPEC MF87 modified and upgraded Tesla Model 3 is undoubtedly a vehicle that is very suitable for use with new energy sources. The model's lightweight design features single-piece forged wheels.
For owners of new energy electric vehicles, they will basically not make major modifications, but will choose more practical small upgrades. The same is true for this Tesla Model 3. After the car owner simply upgraded a set of ASPEC? MF87 wheels, the overall sporty visual effect and sense of class of the vehicle were significantly improved. At the same time, lighter and higher-strength wheels also improve the vehicle's dynamic response and safety performance, allowing the Tesla Model 3 coupe to fully demonstrate its sports performance.
