Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit

[PoitNarf]

I asked, but was told that they don't carry those at the delivery center.

Ymmv, but when I called the parts department at the Tesla location I’ll be taking delivery the parts guy said they had the center caps in stock but he was going to have to order the lug nut covers. It’s worth the quick call to your local parts department to see if they have them in stock.

Did you call before or after your VIN assignment? Did you you arrange for the parts department to arrange hold until pickup?

I was able to pickup without VIN, just need to request it nicely to the parts manager.

After I received my VIN but the parts guy didn’t even ask for a VIN. When I called I mentioned I was picking up my Model 3 from their location next week so not sure if that was good enough for him.

Ditto...

The wheel caps are back in stock and once again $35. At least they were five minutes ago when I ordered mine.

Thanks! Just ordered. Now I don't need to keep checking several times a day if it is in stock yet.

Nice! I may have to pick this up when it's back in stock.

Anyone know if the aeros can still be attached with the wheel and lug caps installed or do you need to take all of the caps off to get the aeros back on?

Aeros can be attached with the lug nut caps installed but the center cap has to be removed. I just did this aero re-install for a road trip to compare efficiency. Used the very thin screwdriver method described up-thread to remove center caps. No scratches but was very careful.

That happened to me last time it back in came back in stock. I was taking too long changing to ship to alternate address and by the time I clicked accept, it sold out and got the error. This time I worked allot quicker. Looks like if I was 30 seconds slower I would be in same boat as @C141medic (we both were within seconds of each other).

You're kidding me, sold out in 12 minutes. How many did they have in stock, 2?!

The center cap saga continues. Whoever I spoke to last week about ordering the center caps and lug covers never actually placed the order. When I picked my Model 3 yesterday the service department had no record of anything being ordered for me. They have now ordered the center caps and lug covers but said they were backordered and couldn't give me an ETA. It's just a bunch of plastic, how hard can it be to manufacture enough of these??

 

[PoitNarf]

Looks like I spoke too soon. BACK IN STOCK! Just placed my order. Now to see which order will arrive first, the one I just placed online or the one through my local Tesla store.

 

[dailo]

Just ordered a set, but haven't even ordered the car yet. Don't know why...
