OXNARD, CALIF., June 10, 2026 – Modus is proud to announce it has been named the official audio sponsor for Demo Days Showoff 2026 season. The first of the year’s seven events will take place June 27-28 in Los Angeles.
“Coming off an incredible, award-winning 2025, we can’t wait to get back on the road and show people what high-end, high-power audio actually sounds like in an EV,” said Joz Wang, Vice President of Marketing for Modus. “Many Tesla and EV owners hesitate to touch their sound systems because the electronics are so sophisticated. Our PREACT™ technology completely removes that anxiety—making an audio upgrade smoother and easier than ever before.”
During the seven Demo Days stops throughout 2026, Modus will exhibit its Cybertruck build alongside key representatives and dealers and will make it easy for attendees to learn how and where to purchase a system.
Modus’ PREACT™ (Power Responsive Energy Amplification Current Technology) is designed for modern vehicle electrical architectures. It operates across a wide 9–58V range and enables high-power audio integration without forcing traditional workarounds. EVs offer something combustion engines never could: quiet cabins paired with abundant electrical power, creating an ideal platform for truly immersive, audiophile-grade sound.
The Modus Cybertruck installation achieves several industry firsts, showcasing Modus’ patented PREACT™ current-averaging technology operating directly on Tesla’s 48V DC electrical system. The system is capable of delivering 6,000 watts (RMS) of audio power without requiring voltage inverters or additional batteries, an industry first for EV audio. This was made possible through Modus’ patented PREACT technology in the new Mezzo amplifier line, which operates with unprecedented power efficiency at higher voltages.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 10, 2026) –The public is overwhelmingly in support of providing the U.S. military with the right to repair their equipment and vehicles, according to a new survey commissioned by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA). According to the survey, 78.9% of respondents support the military’s ability to repair their own equipment. When asked about the Warrior Right to Repair Act, bipartisan legislation under consideration by Congress for inclusion in the National Defense Authorization Act that would provide the military with the right to repair, 73.5% of voters said they would support the legislation.
The survey also includes the first-ever assessment of the public’s opinions of battlefield modifications of military equipment, an associated issue raised recently by military leaders during congressional testimony. When presented with a question on the necessity of adapting equipment to meet evolving battlefield conditions, 72.4% of voters agree that military personnel should have the authority to modify their equipment, not just repair.
The survey was commissioned by SEMA from May 14-17, with a +/- 2.9% margin of error. The survey sample was 1,090, with the exception of the question on modification, for which the sample size was 1,168. This survey was conducted online by occam™ by AlphaROC.
“The data reveals an overwhelming, unambiguous public mandate: Americans strongly believe the U.S. military should have the right to repair its own equipment,” wrote SEMA Political Director Lauren Wilbor. “Voters express deep concern over both taxpayer costs and defense contractor lobbying, along with impacts on military readiness.”
Strong bipartisan support for military right to repair, with 84.1% of Republicans, 78.2% of Democrats and 76.2% of Independents in support of allowing the military to repair its own equipment.
Military right to repair remains a “silent issue,” with 76.5% of voters unaware of contract rules that restrict military units from repairing their own equipment.
Voters demand common sense on the battlefield, with 66.5% stating their belief that if a military vehicle breaks down in a combat zone, service members should be allowed to repair it in the field.
Conversely, just 10% of respondents believe military units should be required to wait for manufacturer-authorized technicians.
Voters, when educated on the outcome of previous attempts to provide the military with the right to repair, overwhelmingly (71.8%) expressed concern with how defense contracting decisions are made.
METAIRIE, LA (06.10.26) – Custom wheels are one of the first things people notice about a build. Wheel rings are how you make sure they’re still being noticed after dark. ORACLE’s LED Illuminated Wheel Rings mount around the brake rotor and attach to the brake dust shield, wrapping each wheel in a full ring of light that fills the wheel well and commands attention at shows, meets, and on the street. Universal fitment means they work on virtually any car or truck. The question isn’t whether they’ll fit, it’s which version fits your build.
