Wheel Color Behind Gemini Covers (silver/chrome or gunmetal grey)?

[Bixby MS]

Hey all, is anyone else here hoping for the standard silver/chrome wheel color behind the gemini covers as seen on the "spotted" Model Y prototypes? Interestingly, I noticed that the Model 3 prototype wheels also had the silver colored wheels behind the aero covers, yet they ended up being a darker, almost gunmetal grey color, so I wonder if Tesla will do the same with the TMY. I reserved a MYP back in November so I'm looking forward to the day it arrives.

Side note, I took some pics of my neighbor's Model Y work car (Tesla employee) in my apartment garage if anyone's interested in seeing a size comparison with another compact SUV.

i ordered white, so the 20 inch black induction wheels look great. but if i had ordered blue, i think the gemini's look better. but it's all taste and i don't consider myself married to them in the long haul. i'm a bit of a steampunker, considering bronze or copper wheels and trim eventually. but first gonna trick it out with some more black stuff that i have seen for the 3, hopefully it will come out for the Y as well.

Congrats Aarons12! I ordered a white MYP without the performance package upgrade. Those induction wheels are a beauty.

my wife is letting me buy this (don't get me wrong she's a doll but let's face it, it's a fair amount of money to shell out) but i would have been pushing my luck to try for performance. and i'm an old guy. 0-60 in 4.8 will still be the fastest vehicle i've owned, and maybe later they will offer the lesser performance upgrade like they did for the 3.

congrats to you too. did you get your letter yet?

@Tech Dane my son noted that the white with black wheels reminded him of stormtroopers. so i'm having a little fun with that. just found rear and side window louvres for the 3 on amazon, hoping stuff like that comes out for the y as well

yes that seems to have been in all the pics. yay bike rack

Well, we can agree that there's, at the least, a cover on the production vehicles. I hope the reality is there is (will be) a package that includes a 2" square hitch of a reasonable length for simple bike rack or tear-drop trailer use. So far, it looks good.

Thanks for posting this! My fiance has a Santa Fe. Great comparison for me to look at. Almost just as tall, gives us a great idea of ride and size similarities.

That parking on the far right of the stall appears problematic.
