At the beginning of last year, Tesla began to finally deliver to customers the electric ATV for children that it developed, the Cyberquad.

The price is $2,100 and the target audience is a little younger than the average Tesla buyer: from 8 years old, up to a weight of 68 kg.



Now the Dutch coachbuilder DERKS is taking care of the other side of the circle of life: those who want their last journey, even if not in their life, to be Electric Drax presented a Tesla Model 3-based funeral vehicle, as part of a conversion that he performs and offers for sale for more than 100,000 dollars, as an independent model, which is not marketed by the American electric car manufacturer.

Started in the chariot days

Hearses are an ancient tradition in the Christian community in the USA and Europe, which has passed from the days of chariots to the era of the automobile. Traditionally, this is a large and decorated vehicle, which is used to transport the coffin to its final resting place. These are usually luxury vehicles that have been extended and raised, or vehicles that were already large In Europe, for example, it is usually a second life for vehicles that were originally used as ambulances, transporting passengers who are no longer urgent to get anywhere.

Not luxurious enough?

There is also an S model for funerals

The Tesla Model 3 funeral is based on the base version, whose original roof was cut and it was raised and extended to 5.66 meters, an addition of 86 cm. The 53 kg battery that is enough for the basic Model 3 for an official range of 491 km, is enough for the funeral version For a distance of only 350-375 km according to Drax, because of the added weight and height.



It should be noted that this is not the first conversion of a Tesla as a funeral vehicle: the German coachbuilder BINZ has been offering such a vehicle based on the more expensive Model S for several years.
