Intax is a specialist in taxi conversions and has been equipping rental cars with such systems for 30 years. However, in March 2026, Tesla models were removed from the product lineup due to a lack of legal approval for the conversion solutions. Now, Intax has brought Tesla conversions back into its program.
The Tesla Model Y is the first model to be converted. Additional models are possible, but the company states that “no firm commitments can be made at this time.” Rental packages for Tesla models are also not available currently.
The price to convert a Model Y into a taxi starts at 1,950 euros without coating, or 3,390 euros with coating. A clean, rust-free, and intact paint finish is required for coating. Scratches, stone chips, or poor repainting will result in visible defects and paint damage during removal. For unprepared used cars, the customer assumes full risk, and a flat fee of 100 euros is charged for cleaning.
What Intax’s taxi conversion service offers for the Model Y
The Intax conversion kit for the Tesla Model Y, like all of the specialist’s offerings, can be reversed, so it poses no disadvantage when reselling the vehicle.
In the Model Y, taximeters and mileage counters can be installed seamlessly directly beneath the touchscreen, with the cables either placed there or in the glove box depending on preference. Connections for accessories such as printers or cash registers are provided in the footwell. The required programming is handled by a professional service. For wireless operation, power outlets are available under the armrests, along with a connection for the alarm mode in the footwell. Additionally, synthetic and leather interior options are available, which can be customized with colored stitching at no extra cost.
The conversion requires at least four to six weeks in addition to the vehicle’s regular delivery time, plus another 14 days for shipping, before the Tesla taxi arrives at the customer’s location. It is also possible to pick up the car directly at Intax in Oldenburg after completion and payment, the company states. With this direct pickup option, Intax aims to avoid long transportation distances and address regional gaps in the Tesla distribution network.
