Tesla Model Y Performance 2026+ Front Aero Canard Set
The Front Aero Canard Set is a dedicated aerodynamic upgrade for the Tesla Model Y Performance 2026+ Juniper. Each canard snaps into place beside the front air inlets and features a raised outer edge, or aero fence, that keeps airflow from spilling over the surface. This shape helps nudge air upward at the bumper corners to generate localized front-end downforce while preserving the factory airflow paths, including the front air curtains. The result is a cleaner, more assertive front profile that delivers benefits you can feel, not just admire.
These canards were developed within the same CFD workflow used across the Model Y Performance Aero Package. In simulation, the canards work as the front balancing element within the system, contributing to a more planted nose and steadier steering at speed. While the canards are designed for stand-alone gains, the greatest effect arrives when the full package is used as intended. The kit transitions the vehicle from net lift to net downforce in development testing. For reference, the Diffuser Extension paired with the Efficiency Spoiler reduced drag by about 40 N, roughly 2.4 percent, and improved net downforce by about 534 N in transient CFD with a 30 million cell model. Those Unplugged Performance aero system-level results illustrate how each component plays a role in the final balance and why adding front canards helps balance the added rear grip from the diffuser and spoiler.
The canards are made from molded plastic for strength, impact resistance, and durability.
The Installation Process
Installation is quick and easily reversible. The canards use factory-style snap-fit engagement at the bumper corners, so there is no cutting or drilling involved in the installation process. Remove the relevant trim, seat each canard, and press until fully engaged. If you decide to return to stock, removal takes only minutes and leaves the vehicle unchanged. This approach preserves your options while delivering an immediate upgrade in both function and appearance.
For the best front-end aero balance, pair the canards with the Unplugged Performance Front Splitter. The splitter increases the pressure difference between its upper and lower surfaces to add front downforce and reduce high-pressure air flowing beneath the car. To complete the system, consider the Rear Diffuser Extension, Rear Fins, Carbon Efficiency Spoiler, and Carbon Mirror Covers. Together, these parts refine pressure recovery at the rear, delay flow separation, and build a cohesive OEM plus aesthetic that reads like factory equipment with real gains in stability and efficiency.
Fitment is specific to the Tesla Model Y Performance 2026+ Juniper only. If you want a reversible upgrade that looks native and contributes measurable aerodynamic benefit, the Front Canard Set is the right way to bring the front of your Model Y into balance with a complete aero package engineered to work as a system. First orders will ship out at the end of 2025.
