I think this is an example of a terrified tuning industry frantically trying to justify its existence in the electric era.
While ICE tuners do have cause to be worried (though I think IC engines are going to be around for a long time yet), I'm not sure the EV is there issue. I think tightening emissions legislation is eventually going to see much tighter restrictions on engine modifications. We're already seeing a bit of push back against the removal of DPFs etc. It wouldn't surprise me if we get to a point where engine tuning of any kind is banned outside of OEM options. That being said, it's a big industry to kill, so it's a balance between pleasing the anti-car folk and not putting people out of work.Aside from engine tuning, there will always be people out there that want to make styling changes to their cars, so I don't think body kit manufacturers have much to worry about for the foreseeable future.

I don't think the wheel design is too bad 
Although the design purpose is totally marketing BS isn't it? With elec regen taking care of most of the slowing down process the brakes will never need cooling.
