Chinese Tesla Model 3 aero wheels
A Tesla Youtuber snagged a Chinese only market 'Power Sports' 19" aerodynamic wheels. The integrated aero cap flush to the rim was the lightest design approach and satisfies the optimization goals. Tesla VP of engineering said that Tesla Model 3’s aero caps can increase efficiency by ~10% better than the bigger non-aero 19" wheels. It is also only 0.8 heavier than the standard 18" wheels @ 49 lbs.
The next Model S and Model X will have the 19" aero wheel option. https://i0.wp.com/electrek.co/wp-con...trip=all&ssl=1 https://electrek.co/2019/09/23/tesla...arousel-104130 https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=kC4Z8bdF1b0 |

They are not as obvious, so that may mean that more people will use them? Which would be a good thing.

I was confused by the 'with and without the caps part, so I looked here:

I suggested they take the other three off, but they won't do that (or replace the missing one :confused:) If you have the performance brakes your options are limited, but an 18" wheel and high profile tires makes some sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqFT0tsusUY |
