Having taken delivery of his Tesla Model 3, our founder (and Dad) Roger Pressman decided it was worthwhile to show off the car locally here at the EVANNEX offices in South Florida. Even with the Model 3 currently on display at a local Miami store, RSVPs came flooding in via Tesla Owners Florida (special thanks to Club President Larry Chanin). But it wasn’t just the Model 3 that would be at this marquee event.

At EVANNEX, we specialize in designing and developing unique accessories for Tesla owners, and there’s no accessory that is more unique than a custom-designed carbon fiber spoiler.

If you’ve ever wondered how spoilers are created, I think you’ll find our journey interesting.
Tesla is a completely unique auto brand.
Instead of spending money on advertising (like every other auto brand), Tesla spends money on making its products better.
In the increasingly transparent digital era we live in, this appears to be a winning formula.
One of the most famed Apple analysts, Gene Munster, has recently turned his attention to Tesla. Munster’s firm, Loup Ventures, “surveyed 519 people in the U.S. regarding interest in buying a Tesla Model 3 … [and] found a surprisingly high number (17%) of people would buy a Model 3 at $40,000.

The top 20 stories of the week on CleanTechnica didn’t include a single Tesla article.
As part of efforts to continue improving the Tesla Model 3 production process, the company paused production of the model from February 20 to 24 for planned upgrades and adjustments to equipment and automation, it has revealed.
