What do you think of the uberturbine wheels on the M3P?

[Doge-1]

I love my Uberturbines. Yeah they are heavy and expensive but dang they look nice.

Salt flats? That's an awesome photog.

Yeah! Took a 3400 mile road trip after taking delivery in June. 160 was no problem out there on the salt!

Hope you washed it down well soon after?!

i think they look S3XY AF; Im alos selling mine bc the *sugar* roads where I live. If I lived in a mostly metro area Id rock them out and be stoked they came on the car

Love them, it was actually a deciding factor in buying...wasn't really planning on a new car just yet, but loved the look.....

 

[CarolinaBMXers]

They look great to me, I just couldn't rationalize the loss in range and harsher ride quality.

(just my opinion, not slamming).....but the ride..... i can see if your not a performance guy.....but the range?......not worth worrying about a couple miles in my opinion....i bought the car for pure performance......range was pretty much irrelevant....i did like the ride in my S with air suspension much better on trips, but the M3P is way more fun..

Very much into performance, but that's also what I have motorcycles for. If I want a stiff ride I can simply ride one of those and possibly go faster.

Now, the M3P range, yeah, it's important if I'm genuinely doing 400 wh/mi+ per trip I'm not going to realize estimated mileage. It will be way off and require more charging. That would relegate the M3P to an around-town kind of performance vehicle, and not an all-around road trip + performance.

Which is one thing in say a Huracan or GTR where you're filling up every 350 miles. You just stop and get gas. You wouldn't have reliable options for that in an M3P if you're driving this like it should (very fast) - not saying that's how you'd drive it on a road trip, just sucks to think you have to dial it down to make SC stops.

As for performance cars, in the past I'd say the harshest ride I've owned was a Lotus Elise. You had to WANT to drive that thing. Ingress/egress, it was contortionist and then you've got no power steering, stiff racing seats bolted to aluminum and stiff suspension. It was great for what it was, but I don't want or expect that from any 4 wheeled vehicle in the future. I've been there, and a motorcycle can still smash most of these hypercars so it's pointless to overspend to hit the same metrics or worse.

I get what you're saying, though, and I won't disagree you buy the performance for the performance.

If you drive Your P3D+ the way you’d have to drive GT3 or Huracan to get 350 miles out of a tank, you’d get far better than rated range, no problem.

Awful, prefer the ones before it which i have on mine.

drove an Elise at an SCCA event....."like a damn rock!"

While I don't think they are awful I do agree that the previous wheels were MUCH better looking, especially in gray

water is wet!

In my opinion, the new uberturbine wheels look great. If they were available in an 18" version, I would buy them immediately. Like others have said, we all have our own preferences/opinions.

 

[TexasTezla]

Let's not forget the OP asked "what do you think of the uberturbine wheels on the M3P?"...we are not bashing owners who prefer these wheels, we are just giving our answer to OP's question...

 

[Sam1]

don't like them and they will be coming off the new car as soon as new ones can be ordered.

 

[nobznss]

Honestly, I can't think of any OEM wheels that look better than an aftermarket option - regardless of car brand. Even supercars, I'd probably replace the OEM setup with something better looking and lighter (carbon fiber?). I don't think the uberturbines look bad, but I've got a set of 2-piece BC forged being produced as we speak that will look about 200% better and be about 30% lighter - but you know about opinions...

 

[Gimmethecash]

I don’t mind the look of them - I kind of like them, but I didn’t want my car to look like every other M3P, so I sold them & ordered some lighter custom wheels with custom specs from @SignatureWheel.

I think the dark Tesla Zero Gs are the best loooking wheels on Model 3s, hands down. Someone mentioned on the site that Tesla should have made those the MP3+ standard wheels, and I agree.
