Specifically ev, and specifically aftermarket modifications. Whether it's a custom shop offering a package that you could have installed, or a backyard tinkerer coming up with a new trick to make their EV ratrod faster, what do you think will be done in the future that hasn't been done yet?

I think full dashboard replacement to have physical buttons and switches instead of the giant control screens will be a thing for customers with deep pockets.

I mean, there's still cosmetic modifications, and some of those might be slightly different (things emphasizing exhaust pipes for instance wouldn't really work, but maybe you'd see parts that suggest an exaggerated fake battery somewhere, or some clear panels placed to show off the motors or something). But beyond that, couldn't you still change the performance in some ways, for example by replacing parts with lighter weight parts? For example, since batteries are heavy, maybe someone wanting to increase top speed and acceleration and willing to sacrifice range might replace the battery with a smaller one, or remove some of the cells from the battery somehow?
