Out of Stock. When I went to the local service center earlier this week they were out of the lug caps. Expected re-stock for them was by the end of March.

This is going to be a recurring problem I think. A few HOURS after someone notices a new thing to buy on TESLA store for the Model 3 and GONE! Out of Stock! I think that means that Model 3's are being delivered... ;-)

I thought I would post this here as I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere. I just noticed that Tesla now formally sells a $35 kit for running with the aero covers removed (out of stock at the time of posting): Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit

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?

You need to take them off to put the aero covers back on. I hear the center cap can be challenging to remove, so some have drilled small holes in them to make them easier to pull off. I've seen a video somewhere where someone showed that you can also use strong rolled up tape to pull them off. I'm surprised that Tesla is including a tool to remove the lug nut caps with this kit, but not the center caps.

Yeah, as you said it looks like you can remove the center caps with some duct tape:

Nothing in this world duct tape can't fix......

It hit reddit earlier in the day yesterday, so there was a very quick rush for them. Hopefully they're back in stock or my local service center has them before I take delivery.

Yeah. What the heck is this about?!

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?

The thing I find most impressive.. it's REASONABLY PRICED!

My to-do list:

1) Configure car
2) Install home charger
3) Order this

Climate change? Unless you want to use it to silence the people speaking out against it.

I was hoping that Tesla would make them available because 3rd party costs are ridiculous.
