Tesla Model 3 in China has new wheel covers

[Wyman]

I like them better than the original ones. Can we get these in NA?

These are the 19" wheels and covers on the 3P in China. They've been this way since the car was first released there.

They look pretty good!

That would be great. I was curious about seeing them on different colors and and found a pretty neat preview tool a user shared in this post here.

Just like the current aero wheel covers on 18” rims.

will only be a matter of time until fakes of those are on alibaba.

I would like to see these wheels and covers available at Service Centers in Europe and US too. They would be perfect winter wheels for Model 3 Performance since they are probably on par with 18" Aeros in energy efficiency.

Model 3 AWD (with Aeros?) has 590 km range in Chinese standard and Model 3 Performance has 595 km with these wheels. Of course this is dependent on tyres too.

Covers with the 19" designed Wheels?????? Not happening.

I like them, but of course it's a different story to see them in person. I didn't like the NA Aeros in pictures but they've grown on me.

the covers increase range and reduce the environmental footprint...

But they are on 19" wheels that are NOT AVAILABLE outside of China. Without the 19" wheels your can't use the covers. So the covers are useless you are in China.

OK. now I have REread it. Why do you think there would need to be knockoffs of the 19" covers sold on Albaba and to who? I have bought parts off Albaba (in the US) but why would anyone in the US (or others) buy a Tesla 19" wheel cover.

I guess if you live in China and buy a Model 3 and damage wheel cover you might buy one but how would this be relevant here since China doesn't get this site?

EDIT: Also just checked and they don't even have the current 18" wheel covers for sale. All I can find is the caps.
