cheap lug nuts on Model X

[dark]

I was at my tire shop putting new wheels on my X and found out the stock lug nuts are different than my 2014 model S, they are actually covered with fake plastic caps.

Same as most Audi's, Porsches, Mercs etc sadly.

I just hate the extra fiddling it takes when changing a wheel.

Actually, this is a better design than the Model S lug nuts ... the stainless shell deforms over time.
The two piece design allows for a hardened lug nut with a removable cover for improved aesthetics

In concept this is better, but the lug nut caps still cheap on my car.
