Got mine as well

 

[ChrisH]

Dang it. How’d you guys get lucky and time it right?!

 

[CaptainKirk]

I was really wanting the sport wheels, but having 2 looks for 1 price with the aero wheels was growing. The center caps have sealed the deal!! Thanks O.P.!!

 

[UkrHog]

Dang it. How’d you guys get lucky and time it right?!

Pure luck

I may also get the aero wheels for long distance trips and caps for every day. The duct tape method seems hit or miss. Any thoughts on removing the center cap with a suction cup? I am unsure of the dimensions (they're not listed on the Tesla site), but perhaps a 3 inch roof suction cup to help pull it out?

That's a great idea. You'd need to clean off the caps before suction-cupping them, though with a small, locking suction cup, I imagine they'd come right off.

Tesla should just give it to us a party favorite or as swag.

I got some caps from tesla a few weeks back. I tried the duct tape trick to take them out to put the aero caps back on, but the tape didn’t work at all. The easiest way I’ve found is to use a suuuuuper small flat head screwdriver to pop them out. It doesn’t scratch the rim or cap and only takes 3 seconds per cap to remove them.

I didn't want to pay $15 + shipping so I just bought one on Aliexpress for $1.16 shipped. It'll take a month to arrive (not bad considering I haven't even configured yet).

Not sure if linking is allowed but: New Heavy Duty Suction Cup Car Dent Remover Puller Auto Dent Body Glass Removal Tool-in Hand Tool Sets from Tools on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group. It has a 120 reviews + almost 900 orders and for $1 shipped, it was worth a shot.

I just bought a set at my local Tesla Store in Springfield, NJ. They are stocking these.

 

[Twiglett]

wow they disappeared fast.
I decided a while ago not to preorder anything until I had the car in my possession.
I've flip-flopped on color and wheel so many times its not worth it until its set in metal

You can just order this directly as pieces, as pointed out previously: Will Tesla deliver 18"wheels without aero covers?

Seems like Tesla did listen and just bundled these into a reasonable package from the online store and helped reduce overhead with SC and parts departments.

That’s my closest store as well. Any idea if they’d sell it to me if my VIN hasn’t been assigned yet? I suppose I could just get them when I take delivery as well.

 

[Insight75]

Good question and I'm not sure. They assigned it to my Model X VIN. I would say just wait to take delivery or call and ask. I would be surprised if they didn't have any available later as they made it sound like they had plenty.
