Model 3 color and tire combos

[JeffK]

Do we know if the aero's are covers over standard Tesla 18's or one piece?

We are fairly positive they are covers but have yet to see someone physically take it off.

The Model 3 isn't showing up on tirerack.com yet. Do we know the exact 19" wheel specs yet?

Super easy choice. Every color there is bland except Red.


Red with 19's looks the nicest. Done.


With some aftermarket chrome rims on a Red 3 that will be the flashiest and prettiest 3 around.

Aero blues...

Aero blues...

Same, I think.

Aero blues...

That is what I am thinking too. Hopefully with white interior. Wondering about making the aero's a different color, and/or how it would look with the chrome pieces covered the same color as the wheels.

None of the specific Tesla M3 colors fall into my taste. So probably I will end up having any color as long it is (Ford's) black. Don't know yet which set of wheels. I want to be more and more sustainable even with the M3, but don't like the design of the aero's.
So ?????????????????????????????

I want to know how much these aero wheels and sport wheels influence range. I'd like Tesla to have an interactive Model 3 on their site like the S in which you can choose wheels, AC, speed, etc and see how range changes.

thanks for this... always loved the signature red Model S with the charcoal upgraded flywheel rims.
Thus I will be a Red - Aero wheels Model 3 guy and will have fun shopping for some new summer shoes when the time comes.

I also recall seeing up to 3% better range w/ aeros somewhere among these posts.

I was at my local Tesla store last weekend and was checking out the colors of the X and S models on display. I'm struggling with which color I will choose. I have eliminated white and black, but that's as far as I've gotten.

I prefer blue over white/grey/silver/black because anywhere it's sunny, the car takes on a very warm hue. Meaning those colors turn to yellow/brown. Not so with blue!

Also I plan on getting black and putting the money toward a $2500 quote I got for a 3M satin blue wrap from Vehicle Wraps, Inc. in Sacramento:

I only have two questions:

Is the Aero a removable cover ?
If not, can I paint them ?

The darker wheels remind me of cop cars.

Maybe in Indianapolis.

In Los Angeles all the cool kids drive around with dark grey or black wheels.

Including Elon's P100D.

But he did upgrade to the silver 19's for his Model 3.

It is weird that I like the aero wheels?? I'm thinking red, aero wheels, chrome delete to match the wheels.

Sounds like there will be two of that config in Dallas

Same here guys! Does three make it crowded I'll be driving in the HEB/Grapevine/Southlake part of the Metropex. What about you guys?

 

[Boourns]

I live in the Prosper/Celina area and work in Dallas. So pretty much up and down the Tollway.

This is tough. Dark grey metallic with the silver rims is my preference. But 35k base, plus 9k batter, 1k paint, 1.5k wheels, estimating 4k for the dual motors, and 1k for D&D, I'm at 51,500. And that is before tax and maintenance. Yeah, something is going to have to give there.

But then again, I have at least two years for this to shake itself out.
