ARLINGTON TX (11.19.25) – Electrify Expo’s 2025 season wrapped up in Texas as MODUS exhibited and demoed its award-winning 2024 Tesla Cybertruck build November 15th and 16th at Globe Life Park in Arlington. MODUS drove away from the most recent Electrify Expo on Long Island, N.Y with the show’s Best Vendor Vehicle award.
“During the 2025 Electrify Expos in Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago and on Long Island MODUS has become a featured stop that drew big crowds as attendees wanted to experience our Cybertruck demo. That happened once again in Texas” said Jason Digos, Modus Senior Sales Trainer. “Once inside the Cybertruck, all were blown away as they didn’t realize such a high-end and powerful audio system can be integrated into today’s complex electric vehicles. We were excited for attendees in Texas to live this experience, as well.”
The MODUS demo and display area is set up to draw a crowd.
Jason Digos and Matt Delgado from MODUS were joined in the very busy booth by members of Southwest Sales and Marketing team Scott Ringo, Taylor Williams and Mark Sartain. Southwest Sales and Marketing is the MODUS rep firm in the TOLA territory.
Firm Principal Scott Ringo offered “Dealers in our territory have shown great interest in the MODUS products to provide solutions for EV owners. Spending time in the booth was a great experience. We learned from Jason and Matt plus heard questions from EV owners and enthusiasts at the event.”

The misconception that premium audio is merely a luxury add-on overlooks the soundstage potential of EVs. These vehicles offer something combustion engines never could: silent cabins paired with abundant electrical power, creating an unprecedented opportunity for truly immersive, audiophile-grade sound systems.
The Modus Cybertruck installation achieves several industry firsts, showcasing Modus’ innovative PREACT™ current-averaging technology operating directly on Tesla’s 48V DC electrical system. This marks a significant advancement in mobile audio integration with electric vehicles, capable of delivering 6,000 watts (RMS) of audio power without requiring voltage inverters or additional batteries, which is a first for any EV audio system. This was made possible through Modus’ patented PREACT technology in the new Mezzo amplifier line, which operates with unprecedented efficiency at higher voltages.
“Consumers are often wary of adding or altering audio components in Teslas and other EVs because of their sophisticated electrical systems, but we are educating them that the technology is available today to do so safely and effectively. Having the Southwest Sales team, along with Nick Williams from area retailer Mobile Sound Systems in the booth, sets the stage for MODUS going forward in the territory. Dates have been set for the 2026 Electrify Expo Tour and we are looking forward to 2026″ Digos concluded.

The awards recognize the recipient’s outstanding contributions to the specialty equipment industry over a year-long period
LAS VEGAS (Nov. 8, 2025) – The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) announced the winners of its coveted Content Creator of the Year, Gen-III Innovator of the Year, and Person of the Year awards. Presented during the SEMA Industry Honors at the 2025 SEMA Show, these awards recognize industry members for their significant and transformative contributions to the automotive aftermarket during the past year.
Person of the Year: Dean Case (Motivo Engineering) An unwavering advocate for SEMA and the Emerging Trends & Technology Network (ETTN), Case played an instrumental role in bridging the gap between aftermarket industry and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) community in 2025.
Person of the Year: Dean Case (Motivo Engineering)
Case was pivotal to the success of the ETTN/SAE student career event at the SEMA Garage, the largest career fair the association has ever hosted. The impact of this event extended far beyond attendance numbers; it also created meaningful connections with students and educators, helping to attract fresh talent into the industry.
Thanks to Case’s contributions, the event brought together a diverse range of experts, actively engaged schools, and was carefully documented through professional videography, amplifying SEMA’s mission to a wider audience.
Gen-III Innovator of the Year: Andrius Liskus (LABA7, UAB) Liskus solved a major barrier in advanced suspension testing: accessibility. High-speed, high-precision damper testing typically requires large, stationary machines with high-voltage, high-amperage power inputs, which limits their use to specialized R&D facilities. With the EMA, or Electromagnetic Damper Test System, Liskus and his team developed a solution that delivers lab-grade performance — up to 7,000 mm/s velocity, 100 G acceleration, and 150 Hz frequency — while running from a standard 110V socket. The system condenses energy using supercapacitors to drive electromagnetic motors efficiently and with precision.
Gen-III Innovator of the Year: Andrius Liskus (LABA7, UAB)
This means cutting-edge damper testing no longer needs to be tied to infrastructure-heavy environments. Race teams, independent developers, and workshops can now run the same level of dynamic testing that was once only available inside OEM labs. The EMA is even transportable, making it viable for on-site testing and trackside diagnostics.
Content Creator of the Year: Westen Champlin The SEMA Content Creator of the Year Award recognizes and celebrates a content creator’s exceptional dedication to enriching automotive culture. This accolade applauds Champlin’s significant impact in shaping a vibrant community and fostering a positive environment among automotive enthusiasts. Garnering over 4 million subscribers on YouTube, 3.8 million followers on TikTok, 2.5 million followers on Instagram, and 3.3 million followers on Facebook, his creative efforts on social media have not only elevated the discourse around automotive passions but have also inspired a deeper appreciation for the art and innovation within the industry.
Content Creator of the Year: Westen Champlin
