Many car enthusiasts often gripe about electric vehicles lacking “soul,” mainly because they don’t feature an engine that churns out thousands of mini-explosions every minute. And of course, they don’t need an exhaust system, since there are no emissions to expel. But one man is trying to change that, well, kind of. He’s created an exhaust system for the Tesla Model Y. And no, it’s not what you’re expecting.
Rather than blasting out smoke, soot, or toxic fumes into the atmosphere, this exhaust system sends for the Model Y spews out nothing but bubbles. It’s quirky, it’s fun, and it might just be the perfect way for the Tesla to show off a little personality. The best part? It seems like other owners might be able to get in on the action too.

A video showing the bubble exhaust in action was first shared on Reddit and attracted quite a lot of attention from Model Y owners wanting something similar. The man who created the kit has since published a Facebook Marketplace listing for it, promising to sell the bubble exhaust for $700, including installation.
The listing states that the kit includes a small reservoir installed in the trunk that is filled with the bubble solution. The system is then operated by a wireless remote control and sends out bubbles from two silver tailpipes installed into the rear bumper. Its creator says his son came up with the idea, and thanks to his engineering background, he was tasked with making it a reality.
The bubble exhaust kit can be purchased and installed in Weston, Massachusetts, a short drive from Boston. However, in a Reddit post, a neighbor of the kit’s creator mentioned that more units will be produced soon. The plan is to ship them out to customers across the lower 48 states.
