Model 3 wheel options

[alseTrick]

Note frunk (bigger/no liner yet?)
Wheels (ex. ~3:00)?

Not the same wheels as the matte reveal car but similar.

Can't make out the frunk size at all.

Looks like the Aero wheels in the new video.

First time production Aero wheels spotted! Maybe the Aerowheels are the something special Musk was hinting for first day reservations.

I know it's subjective, but those wheels look horrible. I think the original S aero wheels looked much better than these.

I don't particularly care about wheels, but yes, those are not attractive.

 

[03DSG]

i don't like those wheels at all. Probably more areo than the others but I would pass for sure.

Still 19" turbine wheels for me.

PLOT TWIST: THE AEROS ARE THE DEFAULT WHEELS AND TURBINES ARE ADDITIONAL

here's another pic of the aeros from reddit

Another one with the "new" wheels:
Saw white model 3 today near Tesla factory. • r/teslamotors

Interesting juxtapositions in that photo: Model 3 in the foreground, Chevron flag behind it, and Tesla factory in the background.

Those wheels, to my eyes, are absolutely hideous. Nevertheless the white one looks like the door bottoms, chrome belt line, and trunk lid arms all line up and fit properly. Very encouraging.

agreed - those aero rims are horrible.

I wasn't going to say it, but yes these last two sightings of the white and blue cars with the "aero" wheels do seem to have improved build alignment.

One person has suggested these are not aero rims but wheel covers applied to the V-spoke rims to give better aerodynamics to the wheel. Toyota did this on their rims for the Prius. I don't know if he is correct, but it is food for thought.

There's also a Tesla cap on the wheel in the aero rims. The other rims on the RCs have all been missing their cap and bolt covers.

The ONLY reason I like these new aero wheels? The appear to be the sized properly. Both of the cars with them have a much more aggressive stance, look like they are sitting lower and have their wheels filling up the wheel wells like the Alpha cars. This gives me hope of what the P-model will look like.

So for everyone who hates the aero wheels, I'm not a huge fan either, but at what increase in range would it be worth it to you?

100 miles?

 

[tracksyde]

100 miles?

Sounds about right.. and even then, I'd only put them on when I need the extra 100mi of range
