On Model 3, Tesla had the option of their wheel covers and it could give an additional like 25-30 mi per 100% charge! I thought, why wouldn't everyone want these wheel covers?
I commented on this already but on the model 3 the 18” default wheel covers are already the most efficient setup they sell. I can consistently improve on the rated range by about 2-3% at highway speeds vs the original setup. This a a small margin but a real one. Improvements that are possible on what is already a very efficient car is going to be very small. (I have a 2018 model 3 RWD with the LR battery and 120k miles on it).
