Tesla Model Y & Model 3 Wheel Cover Showdown: The Ultimate Comparison!

Рет қаралды 39,751

Күн бұрын

If you have a Tesla Model Y or Model 3 with the standard wheels, there is a way to get an amazing look that will enhance your Tesla, and not break the bank. Getting the Model Y with the standard Gemini wheels, or the Model 3 with the standard Aero wheels is the right choice, because instead of spending $2k to upgrade to Induction wheels, or $1.5k to upgrade to Sport wheels, you can get a better look for a fraction of the cost.
TesPlus recently sent me one of every wheel cover style they offer and I took the opportunity to install them on every car I could find. In doing so, I got a much better look and feel for each of the available designs. Of the designs offered, you can get a more open look, closed look and everything in between. There is likely to be a style for everyone with so many options.
When aftermarket wheel covers started becoming available for the Gemini and Aero wheel covers of the Model Y and Model 3, the options were limited and none of them really looked that great. That all changed about 6-12 months ago when new designs started showing up on the market.
TesPlus has many options for both the Model Y and Model 3 in black. On top of that, the prices are some of the most competitive options out there. After watching you are likely to have a better feel for what wheel covers you are most interested in.

THANK YOU for this video. I recently purchased a 2024 Model Y long range (trading in my 2021 Model 3 Long range) and I really debated on which brand of wheel covers to buy. I had bought some for the Model 3 off Amazon and the clips on 3 of 4 covers broke just installing them. These covers from Tesplus are amazing, they fit SO MUCH BETTER and don't feel like they are going to break. Your video also helped me decide which style to go with. I ended up getting the Hurricane style for my Model Y. This and so many of your videos have helped. Thanks and keep them coming !!!

@neoanderson7 7 ай бұрын

Its 1 of the first things I did regarding my model 3. Get rid of the stock OEM hubcaps. Dark wheels/hubcaps remind me constantly of winter conditions. Nothing more depressing than running around on dark wheels. Don't know why everyone wants dark wheels. Aluminum by nature is not black/dark. It's got an offset grey/silver to it. But silver more than anything. Unfortunately you didn't use a hubcap popular in the Asia markets. What's really good is being able to customize the wheel cap to your liking. I've managed to put some designs and little tidbits regarding my other car on my daily 3. Looks way better. Also covers up the curb rashing the previous owner did to the oem wheels.

I don’t understand why Tesla owners aren’t frustrated tesla used hubcaps. My experience with past cars with hubcaps leaves me pessimistic I would like having to be forced to buy new hubcaps because Tesla sucks at providing quality wheels. That’s the second worst fear I have about my future decision to choose Tesla. My first is if Juniper is then out and it has no stalks. But I appreciate you sharing what options there are. I probably like the arachnid or original sports style.

@rudy32685 2 ай бұрын

I made the mistake of trying the arachnid s3xy wheels for the model 3 and they didn’t have the metal clips on the inside of them and didn’t seat on the wheel properly due to the plastic nature. I’m looking at the Uber wheels, blade, and induction. When it comes to the backing of them and the seat if which did you find were better as far design and how they were put together?

Uberturbine for the win! Want a the Performance Y but without the low profile 21” tire headaches, $2500 expense for replacement tires and a rough ride? Here is a tip: Purchase the Dual Motor version with the standard 19” wheels and slap on some Uberturbine wheel covers. Add the $2k performance software upgrade and you are good to go!

So just keeping you all posted…I ordered a set of these wheel covers from TESPLUS, and they just arrived. I went to install them, but found that the center caps for each did NOT have the Tesla logo on them, but were completely blank! Just a solid, smooth black cap. I’ve just e-mailed them, and the website says they’ll respond within 24 hours. We’ll see. I’m just angry that they would ship something like that. Were they hoping I wouldn’t notice?? I’m not going to replace my wheel covers with something not Tesla-branded, and they should know better. So now I sit here with $180 worth of wheel covers I can’t install yet. Stay tuned…I’ll let you know how this works out. UPDATE: 5/8/24 - I’m back to give an update! TESPLUS was great about getting the proper center caps out to me. I had them in hand within 2 days of them getting my message. So all’s well that ends well!

Tesla knew the default original "efficient" covers were ugly as heck. It made a great upgrade incentive. This move was super cheesy. Next Tesla is going have tie die interrior, but not even a cool tie die, instead it will be brown, purple, yellow swirl painted dash (that reduces interior heat absorption by 1degree), unless, you want to upgrade to carbon fiber for +$5K.

I have always supported the advice of the Bearded one, but the my experience with Tesplus wheel covers have been a total nightmare. I ordered the Turbine style covers for my Model Y from Tesplus. When they arrived there were no instructions and you have to add foam around the perimeter and connectors with very poor picture on the web page. Being as careful and I could and aligning everything, I started to slowly install the first cover. As I went around the cover pushing lightly around the perimeter to seat it on the wheel, I heard some popping sounds and discovered the wheel plastic connector tabs broke off rendering the wheel cover totally useless. The company doesn't respond timely to emails and when they do, they are not supportive and will DO NOTHING. Who ships products with no instructions and then says, you need to follow instructions ? A total and complete rip off company! Very Sad.... I never though the Bearded Telsa guy would endorse such poor a quality organization and products.

@BeardedTeslaGuy 6 ай бұрын

Cust Service side shouldn't be like that. The rest of your experience is normal for all wheel covers out there. The only way to break tabs is to install misaligned
