    New Aero wheel coming, has anyone seen these?

    Hi! I am one of the founders of this company. We compare to the same size of wheel from Tesla. I model 3 case we compare to the 19" Stiletto. In model S case we compare to 21" Turbine. The EXA comparison is for model S. That one is made with really high resolution, a whole car, and a time...

    Velgen en banden

    Hi and Thank you! I appreciate that you understand that this is a forged wheel and normally cost 6-10k for a set. Our price 4,5k excluding tires and TPMS is really competitive. Even lower than Teslas casted Turbine wheel. For your question: having left on right and right on left will not affect...

    My project making good looking aero wheels

    We have made simulations with our 21" model and compared to Teslas 21" inch turbine model. Ours show 47% less drag from the wheel arch. That would be, if the wheel arch accounts for 25% of the total drag, a 13% improvement in overall drag. At a speed of about 60 mph the drag accounts for 50% of...

    My project making good looking aero wheels

    I appreciate your feedback. Will try to make it more concave at the center among other things. Not sure I've seen model 3 wheels like this. They have a new turbine look but it looks really bad for drag. The matte gray car had inserts in the wheel for drag reducing purpuse I think. That might...

    Carbon Fiber Rims

    It must be a challange to make carbon wheels without intruding on Carbonrevs patents.

    self made aero wheels

    The grey/black model 3 prototype had something like that. With inserts though, not pretty in my opinion

    Yes. I hope the tire manufacturers wil make those tires in 21" also in the future. Tires makes a big difference for consumption

    Yes, price is key. Aiming for a competitive price. But distributed directly to customers, not via tire shops.

    Why Tesla Supercharger sites should be more like airport lounges

    I think when you pull up to a SC in a few years you would stop right by the service complex and the car summons to the best charger available. When its ready it leaves the charger to hold in a parking space until you call it back to the pick up zone of the service complex. And the complex would...
