The only launch sequence is to take a deep breath and hang on. Very similar behavior when you are on a roller coasterWhen I get this car, how do I properly launch it? Is there a launch mode/sequence?
Step 1: put in insane mode, or maybe just leave in standard if it’s your first Tesla/ timeWhen I get this car, how do I properly launch it? Is there a launch mode/sequence?
I saw the same type of paint defects on an ultra red at a dealership
Also be sure to leave it in Insane mode a bit to heat the battery. Even 10 minutes makes a decent difference. I just leave it in Insane now for commutingStep 1: put in insane mode, or maybe just leave in standard if it’s your first Tesla/ time
Step 2: clench butthole
Step 3: put pedal to mat
I think any marks left by removing them could be easily removed with some polishing compound.Here's an interesting video claiming that there is *no* way to remove the aero inserts without leaving some scratches. :/ Still debating whether to leave them or not. I prefer the open look and don't really care too much about a 2% (or so) loss of range. If I remove them and find scratches, will I be able to note this as preexisting damage and submit a ticket for a new wheel? Hmmmm. I feel like Tesla will fight me on this and claim that the inserts are meant to remain on the car. Uggh. Couldn't they have just made a newer, nicer looking 22-ish pound forged wheel without the inserts to replace the Uberturbines? Picking up today so I need to decide what to do soon. Any thoughts?
That was my original thought, but in the video he shows legit scratches/grooves where they dig into the wheel (in a visible area).I think any marks left by removing them could be easily removed with some polishing compound.
If you are concerned then don’t remove the aero blades. You would def lose if you try to get Tesla to assume responsibilityThat was my original thought, but in the video he shows legit scratches/grooves where they dig into the wheel (in a visible area).
Agreed. I think the wheels looks decent either way (with or without the blades). My bigger gripe is that they designed the wheel this way in the first place. I assume most performance buyers aren't super concerned about the tiny range increase. If so, they'd move to the LR instead. They could have at least given an additional wheel option (even if it meant an upcharge). Perhaps this will be forthcoming.If you are concerned then don’t remove the aero blades.

I posted a reply on his video yesterday. He seems to be doing it the hard way. If you remove the wheel, set it upside down like he did in the video, and then remove the wire "springs" first, you can press the two tabs on the sides/middle of the inserts (from the back) and they fall right out with almost no effort. My wheels have zero scratches from doing that. The plastic tabs leave plastic residue on the wheel but they wipe right off with Windex (no buffing needed because they are not scratches).Here's an interesting video claiming that there is *no* way to remove the aero inserts without leaving some scratches. :/ Still debating whether to leave them or not.

You need to decide because the longer you leave them on while driving the more you subject the wheel finish to scratching.Here's an interesting video claiming that there is *no* way to remove the aero inserts without leaving some scratches. :/ Still debating whether to leave them or not.

I like them too but mine made all kinds of creaking and clicking noises and I was tired of my brand new car sounding like a POS so I removed them. Noise is gone once they were removed and they look just as good either way. A couple of advantages to having them removed other than getting rid of the noise if you experience it are the fact that the brakes are more visible and you are also able to fully clean the wheel barrels…mine were terribly dirty!I don't know about y'all, but I actually like the aero covers on the wheels...
