KARMA : REDEFINING EV MODS

Brett Hunsaker’s Visionary EV Creation Takes the Car Scene by Storm

PHOTOS BY JEROME ANDRE

LAS Vegas is known for its glitz and glamour, but hidden among the neon lights and bustling streets is a ground-breaking masterpiece turning heads in the local car scene and EV modification world. Meet “Karma,” a 2020 Tesla Model Y brought to life by the visionary builder Brett Hunsaker.

Brett has always been drawn to pushing the limits of automotive customization. So, with a background in minitrucks and lifted rigs, he set out to infuse that unique style into an electric vehicle. And from the moment he laid eyes on a Tesla Model Y, he knew it would be the perfect canvas for his project.

As the saying goes, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the same can be said about Brett’s remarkable build. The project began before the Tesla even arrived, albeit initially on a way less extreme level of modifications. With a few parts patiently waiting at home, Brett eagerly anticipated the moment he would be united with his ride. Little did he know at the time just how much this project would snowball.

The visual impact of Karma is impossible to ignore with its mesmerizing brushed black steel wrap.
Forged carbon and copper accents adorn the screen, console, and steering wheel, showcasing Karma’s attention to detail and luxury.

Originally intended to be a slightly modified practical work car, it quickly became apparent that driving a closeto-stock vehicle was not in Brett’s DNA. Instead, the desire to transform the car into something unique and reflective of his style took hold. So, less than a 1,000 miles after taking delivery, the Las Vegan decided to go “all-in,” including dropping the Y to the ground with a never-seen-before air-ride setup.
