Some updates for my wife's Tesla
Some updates for my wife's Tesla
I had to help her personalize it. She loves the purple door handles.
Stock.
Changes. Wrapped the handles purple and removed the wheel covers and installed new center caps and lug nut caps. I really didn't expect the wheels to make such a difference in how the car looks.
I'm sure we'll make more changes when my wallet recovers a bit more from the purchase.

Those are just wheel covers? Is that the standard wheel that’s under there? Those look great.

I'm amazed anyone thinks this garage is clean. I should take some detail shots.

Was really surprised to see those awesome wheels under cheapo looking covers.

Re: Some updates for my wife's Tesla
I'm guessing they put the covers on so it did better in the EPA tests and official range projections, but knew full well people would want to take them off.HapaHapa wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 6:20 pmWas really surprised to see those awesome wheels under cheapo looking covers.

Wow - I had almost the same garage up to last weekend. 2022 Tesla Model 3 LR and a 2021 GTI-S. That’s a nice fun combination!Torrid wrote:I had to help her personalize it. She loves the purple door handles.

Btw- the wrapped handles are cool!

Looks great! I cant believe they cover those nice wheels with those weird looking covers.

The covers add ~3.5% efficiency on the highway. That’s quite a bit actually. It’s a similar gain to switching to a CVT on a ICE engine car or low resistance tires. More gain than having a PIA “stop/start” engine too. I like the looks on mine and save time cleaning the rim and spokes too. I also prefer the look on darker colored Tesla’s.unsub073 wrote:This times 2PowerChucker wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 8:51 amLooks great!

Ok, thats actually interesting that they seem to be very functional. Thanks for explaining that.

Re: Some updates for my wife's Tesla
They are definitely functional. I just can’t stand the look of them though and the car spends very little time on the highway.
Re: Some updates for my wife's Tesla
Excellent taste. I really fully believe these are the two best enthusiast choices for efficiency for the cost. I'm really amazed by how heavy the Model 3 is though. I drive the GTI so much more aggressively after being in the Model 3 because it's so go cart like in comparison. The GTI is my favorite car I've owned, but I am seriously considering replacing it with a Tesla as well. Not 100% on that just yet as I love the driving experience of the GTI, but every time I drive the Model 3 I'm impressed with its refinement.Wario406 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 7:53 amWow - I had almost the same garage up to last weekend. 2022 Tesla Model 3 LR and a 2021 GTI-S.
