    Don’t know if this is of interest to anyone but it appears that Tesla is discounting the (real) carbon fibre end caps that go on the 19” and 20” wheels.

    Model 3 Carbon Fiber Wheel Cap Kit

    They’re now £150.00. That’s obviously still a chunk of change for what they are, but it’s considerably better than the £350 (?) they were before.

    Have just pulled the trigger on a set myself.

    £150 is actually a decent price, I think. It was (I think) £350 until recently. I was interested before, but not £350 interested.

    The OEM CF spoiler, by comparison, costs $800 on the US website!

    £150 is, as you say, a chunk of change, but you've got to have a little bit of carbon fibre bling.... haven't you?

    Yeah, in isolation it's a bit silly to spend that sort of money.. but carbon fibre "vanity" parts tend to be priced based on what the market is willing to bear anyway.

    I man maths'd it to £37.50 per wheel, and it didn't seem so bad then.

    And it sounds like the market was not willing to bear £350 :cool:
