Q: What do canards actually do on a car like the Model Y?

Canards are small winglets at the front bumper corners that push air upward to create front-end downforce. On the 2026+ Model Y Performance, each canard has a raised outer edge, an aero fence, that stops airflow from spilling over the surface. That keeps the factory air curtains working while adding grip at the nose. The payoff is a more planted front end and steadier steering as speed climbs.
