Q: Does the S-APEX carbon aero actually add downforce?

Yes. The CFD-optimized carbon fiber aero kit is made from prepreg dry carbon with Kevlar reinforcement and autoclave curing. It runs a front lip and canards up front, side skirts and deflectors along the body, then rear spats and a racing diffuser under the signature Ascension rear wing at the back. Together they generate meaningful downforce at speed for better high-speed stability and cornering grip, while preserving Tesla’s aerodynamic efficiency so you keep range and calm highway cruising.
