Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit

This is what I was planning on getting to remove caps: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...fl_title_12?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1HQH8VVLKWRRA

Had seen it suggested in other threads and perhaps even this thread.

Huge warning, the suction cup you linked to is complete junk. I purchased it and it has zero suction. Trying to move an item with your mind will work better than this suction cup. I returned and purchased the one below; it is cheaper and actually works. Fits the wheel caps perfectly.

Arnt they the same?

They are the same product supposedly made by a different company. They looked identical too. But the first one isn’t made to spec so it does not actually pull the suction cup up to lock into anything. There are a lot of recent review on the item having the same issue. The one I linked to is flawless, the one I received at least.

Thanks for the input. I'll get this one as well and keep the one that works.

I know I'm repeating myself but a box cutter knife easily removes the center caps if you insert it carefully and move around the edge. You can easily nick the cap (or your hand) if you are not careful.
 
Just ordered my cap kit! I think it looks great w/o the aero covers... just find it strange that Tesla doesn’t provide a tool to remove the cap so we can switch back and forth (I plan on putting the aero covers on for long trips).

I heard (and saw on YouTube) that these suctions work really well: https://amzn.to/2uElJUm

For $7, worth a shot without risking scraping up my wheels using a knife or other means!

I bought this one (little more expensive, $6 for one):

Suction cup is just a smidge smaller than the cap, they come off really easy.
