Since it's been reported that the VP of Engineering confirmed that these are indeed the aero wheels without the covers can a moderator remove "Speculation" from the thread title or is it still considered hearsay?

Nah, I'm sure we can beat this one to death for couple dozen more posts.
There still might be some non-believers out there.

Wonder why this one is missing the lug nut caps and a Tesla center cap?
A Tesla Model 3 is going around the country – now in Louisiana

Because it's a test car.

Because it is a release candidate out testing and I'm sure they just didn't bother putting them on.

I'm sure when I get my car and make a video of me taking off and putting on the aero covers, there will still be non-believers.Nah, I'm sure we can beat this one to death for couple dozen more posts.

I'll probably remain a non-believer......I can't believe that such a nice wheel could be covered with something as ugly as that cover!

True but it seems Tesla is using this as a roadshow car, interesting that they wouldn't use a complete car. Also odd they would take the aero covers off if they drove all the way to Louisiana with the alleged efficiency they bring.
It's not a roadshow car in the sense of displaying it to the public (which as far as I know it hasn't been). It's apparently touring the stores and service centers, but probably primarily for employees to get familiar with the car as employees, not potential buyers. It happens to be without the Aero caps in these pictures, but I would imagine one of the things they are showing is how to take the aero caps on and off.

As gregincal states, I believe you are referencing the Electrek article. In my opinion they tend to take a few leaps and make assumptions lot the times. I highly doubt this is being used as a roadshow car.
Anyone with better photoshop skills able to mock up the sport wheels with a gloss black powder coat look? I'm thinking black Model 3, but if I could get the black wheels, I'd maybe consider the white. Or is this just an all around dumb idea and I should drop it??

I'm a bit confused about why you posted a question on the sport wheels in a thread about the aero wheels.
