Yes, this is an option but in practice it is very unplasant to mount and mostly unmount them. Not to mention during the colder months when the roads are dirty. The better option would be to find aftermarket wheels that have similar aerodynamic properties. Not so many available but I expect this will change in the future.
What do you mean ? Both tests were run with a conditioned battery. Checked the consumtion data and none of the test runs used any battery energy for heating the battery. Where else would the order matter ?
Not sure. There are some wheel covers that cover the entire rim opening. You can find them in online stores like aliexpress. Those should behave similarly to the aero covers that Tesla uses.
Thanks for doing the test and analysis. I will keep the range and its efficiency when going long trips! 🤑
you could mount them during long trips ! I would like to do the same tests with my MYP but cannot find some 21" covers

An additional factor might be the order of the 2 tests...

I would guess that aftermarket Cover wheels are even worse.

Wheels are nice, but I’ll take the range ;)
Me too. However however there are some aftermarket wheels that look nice and design wise might do the job for aerodynamics.
