Tesla Tuning and German TÜV Regulations: What is Allowed?

Tesla-Tuning und deutsche TÜV-Vorschriften: Was ist erlaubt?

Tuning is fun – but only if it's legal. Especially with Tesla body kits or special rims, you should pay attention to the regulations. All our accessories have been tested by TÜV and have an ABE. 

What needs to be considered for TÜV? 

  • ABE (General Operating Permit): Many accessories require an ABE to be legally installed.
  • TÜV approval: Modifications such as chassis modifications or body kits must be registered. 

Risks of non-approved accessories 

  • Fines up to €135: If you drive with unapproved parts, you risk penalties.
  • Loss of insurance coverage: Without TÜV approval, your insurance may not pay in the event of an accident. 

Tips for legal tuning 

  • Buy products with ABE: Make sure that the parts have a General Operating Permit. Feel free to check out our shop.
  • Professional installation: Have the installation carried out by professionals who are familiar with the regulations.
  • Talk to a TÜV inspector in advance: Clarify in advance whether the planned changes will be approved. 

Conclusion: TÜV-compliant tuning made easy 

Make sure to buy products with ABE. With legal accessories, you ensure a stress-free driving experience and avoid legal problems. We at Tecoole value quality and safety. All our products are ABE compliant and have road approval so you don't have to worry about it.
