Up next Legacy EV & HP Tuners: Redefining Electric Conversions with CORE EV Published on November 01, 2024 Author Jerome Andre Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 From Wreck to Wonder: The Cyber3 Tesla Model 3 Performance by TSK A Completely Reimagined 2019 Model 3 Performance In a state where EVs are becoming the norm, one garage stands out for pushing the boundaries of what a Tesla can be. TSK Los Angeles, now based in Cypress, California, has its roots in Ukraine, where it began as the largest independent Tesla service center in Eastern Europe. Led by Bogdan Golovatiuk, TSK is redefining Tesla customization with wild projects like the “Cyber 3”— a Tesla Model 3 Performance that might just be the sexiest and most aggressive Model 3 in the world. From Wreck to Wonder The story of the Cyber 3 is as much about perseverance and passion as it is about engineering and design. This 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance didn’t start life as a supercar—it was a $10,000 wreck that many would have written off. But in the hands of Bogdan and his team at TSK, it was transformed into something extraordinary. “We took a wreck and turned it into a supercar,” Bogdan reflects. The Cyber 3 project is personal for him because it was his first opportunity to reveal his designer ambitions. All the previous TSK projects involved third-party designers and artists. Bogdan didn’t hold back when it came to the Cyber 3’s transformation. The body was completely reimagined, with all-new front-end panels, headlights, carbon fiber elements, and an overall widebody kit that gives the car its distinctive, aggressive stance. “Everything is functional,” Bogdan emphasizes. From air intakes that cool the braking system to specially designed ducts that optimize airflow, every modification serves a purpose. Despite its radical appearance, the Cyber3 is as practical as it is powerful. Bogdan and his team ensured that the modifications didn’t compromise its usability. The car’s headlights were a particular challenge. Initially, the team had trouble achieving the aggressive squint they envisioned, but after relocating the turn signals and refining the design, they created a headlight system that not only performs well but also enhances the car’s fierce appearance. “The headlights are thanks to Lesha Kirsienko and Zurab—it’s their achievement that this car has its native optics, which light up perfectly and look great structurally in this car,” Bogdan explains. But the modifications didn’t stop at the exterior. The Cyber3’s interior was also overhauled to match its bold new look. The headlining, originally a light fabric, was reupholstered in black Alcantara, a change Bogdan felt was long overdue. “I don’t understand why Tesla didn’t do this from the factory”, he says. The seats were reupholstered in dark red leather, with red stitching throughout the interior, giving the car a luxurious yet sporty feel. THE aggressive front fascia of the Cyber3, showcasing custom headlights and functional air intakes is designed for optimal performance. Performance Meets Practicality Despite its radical appearance, the Cyber3 is as practical as it is powerful. Bogdan and his team ensured that the modifications didn’t compromise its usability. The car is equipped with adjustable suspension, allowing it to maintain standard ground clearance while still offering improved handling. The rear diffuser, though unique to this project, is designed to be functional, aiding in the car’s aerodynamics. One of the most impressive features of the Cyber3 is how it manages to balance performance with comfort. “This car is incredibly comfortable, considering we’re on 19-inch wheels,” Bogdan says. The semi-slick 255/35R19 Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 tires and soundproofing give the car a ride quality that’s both smooth and engaging, whether you’re cruising through the city or pushing it on the track. From Ukraine to the U.S. The story of TSK Garage is one of resilience and innovation. Originally based in Ukraine, Bogdan and his team built the largest Tesla service center and parts warehouse in Eastern Europe. Their passion for Tesla vehicles led them to create not only groundbreaking customizations but also the largest annual electric car event in the region. What started with 50 Teslas grew into an event that drew 70,000 visitors by 2021, making it the largest EV event in Eastern Europe. Bogdan Golovatiuk designed and built the “Cyber3,” based on a Tesla Model 3 Performance But in 2022, everything changed. “The reason why we’re in the U.S. is the war”. The company tried to break into the U.S. market four years ago, but only after the full-scale conflict in Ukraine started they fully committed to it. Their service center and the warehouse were occupied and vandalized. They lost key staff, with some leaving the country or suffering injuries. It’s a reality that has deeply affected Bogdan and his team, but it hasn’t stopped them from pursuing their passion. With over eight years of experience working exclusively with Teslas, Bogdan and his team offer a full range of services, from routine maintenance to high-end customizations. TSK Garage also offers a unique TSK Club where Tesla owners can buy parts for tuning, transforming their vehicles into something truly unique. They have supported the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the very first day of the war and continue to do so to this day. The Cyber3 is just one of the many ambitious projects to come out of TSK Garage. As they continue to push the boundaries of Tesla customization, Bogdan and his team are committed to bringing their unique vision to the U.S. market. With only 50 Cyber3 kits being produced—and an even more exclusive run of full carbon versions—TSK is setting a new standard for Tesla tuning.

The reupholstered black Alcantara headlining—an upgrade Bogdan felt was essential for the car’s premium interior.
