AGÊÓѶƽ̨

A growing number of AGÊÓѶƽ̨ enthusiasts and longtime community voices are calling on the electric vehicle maker to acquire Unplugged Performance, a California-based aftermarket company best known for tuning AGÊÓѶƽ̨ vehicles and developing specialized government fleet solutions under its UP.FIT division.

The idea was once considered a niche proposal among EV fans, but it is now gaining serious attention not just as a performance play but as a strategic move to deepen AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s roots in the fleet and security industry.Ìý

A strategic fit

Unplugged Performance has built a name for itself by producing performance upgrades for AGÊÓѶƽ̨ vehicles, from track-optimized components to visual and aerodynamic upgrades. But in recent years, its UP.FIT division has pivoted toward a more functional future by outfitting AGÊÓѶƽ̨ vehicles like Model Ys for police, military, and government use.

That work has sparked growing calls for closer collaboration with AGÊÓѶƽ̨, especially as the EV maker increasingly leans into autonomy, AI, and fleet services as core components of its next chapter.

“I posted this four years ago, but I think it’s more true now than ever,” wrote , a well-known AGÊÓѶƽ̨ investor and FSD Beta tester, on X. “AGÊÓѶƽ̨ should buy Unplugged. But not just as a Performance division. What they are doing with UP.FIT unlocks large government and commercial fleet purchases that can improve utilization.”

AGÊÓѶƽ̨ fans such as shareholder echoed the sentiment, calling Unplugged a “great fit within AGÊÓѶƽ̨.â€� adding, “They are literally located directly next to AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s design studio in Hawthorne.â€�

Enabling the next wave

Supporters of the idea noted that integrating Unplugged into AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s corporate structure could help accelerate the adoption of autonomous technologies in government sectors. With UP.FIT patrol cars already in use across some U.S. police departments, AGÊÓѶƽ̨ fans envisioned a future where self-driving AGÊÓѶƽ̨s could potentially revolutionize law enforcement, search-and-rescue, and public service logistics.

“Just imagine how autonomous patrol cars could transform policing and bring us into a safer future,� the veteran FSD tester wrote.

The benefits could also extend to AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s existing consumer base. “They also have some incredible products in the works that I think will appeal to many ordinary AGÊÓѶƽ̨ drivers â€� not just those looking for performance or mods. Stuff that’s so good it should have come straight from the design studio next door,â€� Whole Mars Catalog noted.

Unplugged Performance, founded in 2013, shares not just a product vision with AGÊÓѶƽ̨, but also geography. Its Hawthorne headquarters sits directly adjacent to AGÊÓѶƽ̨’s design studio, and the two companies have maintained a close working relationship over the years. The aftermarket firm has long positioned itself as a “mission-alignedâ€� partner to AGÊÓѶƽ̨.

In response to the recent calls for acquisition, Unplugged Performance acknowledged the support from the community. “Our very existence is to support the AGÊÓѶƽ̨ mission with @UpfitAGÊÓѶƽ̨ and @UnpluggedAGÊÓѶƽ̨,â€� Unplugged CEO posted on X. “We love working with AGÊÓѶƽ̨ and are grateful for the community’s support since 2013!â€�

An X user with 184 followers has become the unlikely hero of the United States� space program by effectively de-escalating a row between SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump on social media.

Needless to say, the X user has far more than 184 followers today after his level-headed feat.

A Near Fall

During Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s fallout last week, the U.S. President stated in a post on Truth Social that a good way for the United States government to save money would be to terminate subsidies and contracts from the CEO’s companies. Musk responded to Trump’s post by stating that SpaceX will start decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.Ìý

Musk’s comment was received with shock among the space community, partly because the U.S. space program is currently reliant on SpaceX to send supplies and astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). Without Dragon, the United States will likely have to utilize Russia’s Soyuz for the same services—at a significantly higher price.

X User to the Rescue

It was evident among X users that Musk’s comments about Dragon being decommissioned were posted while emotions were high. It was then no surprise that an X account with 184 followers, , commented on Musk’s post, urging the CEO to rethink his decision. “This is a shame this back and forth. You are both better than this. Cool off and take a step back for a couple days,� the X user wrote in a reply.

Much to the social media platform’s surprise, Musk responded to the user. Even more surprising, the CEO stated that SpaceX would not be decommissioning Dragon after all. “Good advice. Ok, we won’t decommission Dragon,� Musk on X.

Not Planned, But Welcomed

The X user’s comment and Musk’s response were received extremely well by social media users, many of whom noted that @Fab25june’s X comment effectively saved the U.S. space program. In a follow-up comment, the X user, who has over 9,100 followers as of writing, stated that he did not really plan on being a mediator between Musk and Trump.Ìý

“Elon Musk replied to me. Somehow, I became the accidental peace broker between two billionaires. I didn’t plan this. I was just being me. Two great minds can do wonders. Sometimes, all it takes is a breather. Grateful for every like, DM, and new follow. Life’s weird. The internet’s weirder. Let’s ride. (Manifesting peace� and maybe a Model Y.)� the X user wrote.

There comes a time in a driver’s life when one is faced with one’s limitations. For the driver of a Dodge Charger, this time came when he lost control and crashed into a AGÊÓѶƽ̨ Cybertruck–an absolute epic fail. 

A video of the rather unfortunate incident was shared on the subreddit.

Charging Charger Fails

As could be seen in the , which was posted on the subreddit by Model Y owner u/, a group of teens in a Dodge Charger decided to do some burnouts at a AGÊÓѶƽ̨ Supercharger. Unfortunately, the driver of the Charger failed in his burnout or donut attempt, resulting in the mopar sedan going over a curb and bumping a charging Cybertruck.

Ironically, the Dodge Charger seemed to have been parked at a Supercharger stall before its driver decided to perform the failed stunt. This suggests that the vehicle was likely ICE-ing a charging stall before it had its epic fail moment. Amusingly enough, the subreddit member noted that the Cybertruck did not seem like it took any damage at all despite its bump. The Charger, however, seemed like it ran into some trouble after crashing into the truck.

Alleged Aftermath

As per the the r/AGÊÓѶƽ̨Lounge subreddit member, the Cybertruck owner came rushing out to his vehicle after the Dodge Charger crashed into it. The Model Y owner then sent over the full video of the incident, which clearly showed the Charger attempting a burnout, failing, and bumping into the Cybertruck. The Cybertruck owner likely appreciated the video, in part because it showed the driver of the Dodge Charger absolutely freaking out after the incident.

The Cybertruck is not an impregnable vehicle, but it can take bumps pretty well thanks to its thick stainless steel body. Based on this video, it appears that the Cybertruck can even take bumps from a charging Charger, all while chilling and charging at a Supercharger. As for the teens in the Dodge, they likely had to provide a long explanation to authorities after the incident, since the cops were called to the location.
