I removed all the aero caps on one side and yes it scuff in about 3 spots for each blade but they actually buff out pretty easily and the wheels look perfect
Can you do a video of literally just walking around the car, interior and exterior, just showing us in great detail? This is the best spec. Need a good in depth walkaround video
I have a suggestion for a future video. I am trying to figure out what my next move is for tires(and/or wheels) for my 2024 Model 3 Performance. I am trying to go with All Season but I haven’t found AS EV tires to match the current sizes. I found Michelin Pilot Sport All Season but was told by 2 sources that the might not fit.
When we get ours I’m definitely taking the wheels off if I remove them. Looks so much better with them off. I wonder how much difference in efficiency. I’m sure someone will test it out soon😂
@@Intervention302since you ran 311 miles (if I recall correctly) on a charge, I suspect the aero covers are only a marginal efficiency gain - like 1% or 2%. Your thoughts?
Are you gonna do PPF on it? Never had it done on any of my cars, but I see a lot of people raving about it. It’s a lot more expensive than I thought! Especially out here in Cali😢
Yes !! Everyone has. This is a brutal set up. I won’t even take them off until service does it. They are terrible and they sound like their cracking when your driving . 🤦🏽♂️
I wish for Tesla to creative a definitive guide for how to do so. At least share what they tell their own technicians what to do and with what tools.I'd rather take them off myself then say Costco when it comes time to replace the tires.
Blades don't need to come off to change tires. I would probably preemptively remove the center cap covers before some 18 year old tech at Costco breaks it
The fact that the wheels scuff when removing aero blades shows poor engineering. Bad design as the wheels look much better without the blades and many are raking them off.
I didn't consider the fact that they could have been scratched during initial install. My gut tells me that's not the case because I would have realized that before removing them. Either way, it's still a net positive. I'll take the look of the wheels without blades , with some minor scuffs, Vs no scuffs and blades
I’m getting my 3P this week…woot woot🙌🏽. Loving the content man. Keep it up!
I'm stoked for you man. You're going to love it

What did you use to buff them out?

Mine is coming between July 13-19. The date went down from August-September last week. White with black interior. Excited 😊
Have you tried to put them back on? I have a lease so when I return the car, I gotta put them all back on. Are they easy to get them back on as well

Harder to test because these just don't pop on and off as easily as prior aero disc covers

I PPF my last model 3, and I was left thinking I wonder if it really added any value.
I don't think it does.
@@Intervention302 I might just stick to the good ol wash and wax 😂
@@Intervention302but you did ceramic coat it? Did you do that yourself? Which product did you use?
Thanks for the video. Just to clarify how to properly remove these without scuffing is to use a plastic trim tool? Is that the general consensus?
It's possible it's near impossible to remove without scuffing the wheel
I have 3 large scruffs per aero plate removed. Uhg
Mine just got pushed back from July to August 12- September 12 gonna be a long month

I never had the crackling sound, although I've heard many have had it. I did take mine off after only a few days though
So it's better to take the wheel off completely and push them off if you want to avoid all damage?
No because they're going to scuff no matter what
I use the plastic pryer tool and it scuff like hell there is no way around it 😂

I really dislike these wheels and wish there was another option when ordering. Any plastic on wheels looks cheap in my opinion.
I messed one of my wheels up already.. don’t drive with little to no sleep gents. 😢
F
Curb rash in under a month is crazy my guy
Try in 3 days like my wife did to mine. 😢 Does anyone know the paint code for the wheels?
I love your content! I'm interested in discussing a potential collaboration. Could you let me know the best way to reach you? Thanks!

@@visje66someone said they scratch just from being installed in the first place and moving around, if true not a fun design from the engineers
@@jdbaker82 you can’t take off the aero blades without scuffing the wheel. Other Tesla owners have found the same thing. See Tesla Mark too.
