wait what???????? Lighter than the Gemini's????? Wow.
Do you have any numbers in terms of range these and 20"s?
Thank you.
Thanks! Our MYP came with the 21" Überturbines and the range remained the same @ ~266 Wh/mi.
The aftermarket 19's are giving you the same range as the 21's? What in the world? So is Tesla making the most efficient with their cars? Aka the OEM's?
Yup. The OEM may be heavier, but they do provide better aero/efficiency. I've seen others reporting similar results of aftermarket vs. OEM.
Keep in mind that efficiency is affected significantly by aerodynamics and tire compounds. Weight and size have minimal effects. Too often folks compare their new wheels but they also swapped tires so difficult to make a conclusion. The OEM tires are very efficient to begin with.
For best efficiency go with the same tire compound and wheel design as oem. If the wheels are smaller, you'll get better ride comfort and acceleration. But don't buy new wheels for better efficiency you won't get your money's worth.
Okay so the million dollar question of the day. I was looking at Martians etc. But would Tsportline's TSV which are uberturbine replicas in 19 and 20's be the best option?
Because if the design is that aerodynamically efficient then getting it in 20's with the wheel about the same weight as the Gemini's would probably be the best of both worlds. Get the black wheels, the cool looks and the efficiency. I'm assuming that the uberturbine design is more aerodynamically efficient than the induction wheel design. Of course I can use the exact same OEM that would normally come with a Tesla.
Thank you.

Thank you! And sure, I'll grab some pics later today. Re-ride quality...to be honest, I'm coming from a Prius, so the whole ride seems like a big upgrade, but I do think it's quieter / less bumpy with the Crossclimates.

damn low key alot of these aftermarket wheels look pretty lame compared to the ubers. Makes the car look less aggressive too. Sorry to be ball busting but ill just say it as it is. Ill lose 15-20 miles a charge if my car will look nice, its worth it lol

This might be the first time you've encountered subjective preference, so I'll give you a pass. I'm glad you like your wheels, just like the above liked theirs. If you're just trying to substantiate not getting aftermarket wheels, this isn't a great way to do it. But if you really like your wheels, it's pretty "lame" to call others' preferences "lame"
ur right, maybe using the word lame was a poor choice. I didn’t mean to offend anyone with their aftermarket wheels wheels, I’m happy if they are happy. I just think they all look less aggressive, maybe because everyone is focused on downsizing for efficiency and acceleration performance.
I’m not saying it just to substantiate not getting aftermarket wheels myself. I probably will get aftermarket wheels eventually.

Not the best picture and the car and garage are dirty, but was excited to put on my new Satin Gray 19x9.5 TSportsline TS5s.
