Tesla to Offer Turbine Wheels Seen on Model 3 Prototype

The Model 3 is getting new shoes.

You may remember the wheels fitted on the Model 3 prototype unveiled in 2016, 13 spokes in a gunmetal finish that twist into the center hub. Many believe they were the best looking of the early designs, however they have been absent on the production version of the car.

Tesla currently offers the “V-Spoke” or “Sport” wheel design consisting of 10 spokes forming 5 V shapes inside the wheel; and the “Aero” wheel design, which can help extend the car’s range.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted the good news Tuesday that the “Wind Turbine” wheel design will be available as an upgrade later this year.
