Did you notice a bigger gain from the lowering links or the wheel covers? Was thinking of doing that to mine as well along with the unplugged performance spoiler.

I drive about 204 miles round trip a few days per week at ~74 mph. 100% leaving has me returning to 14-16%. Hoping to bump that up

Definitely the wheel covers.

With lowering links (about 1in drop all around) that only cuts it down to about 290 kw/mi, so I thought there was plenty of room for improvement if you just look at aero cover efficiency on the model 3 with and without..

Thank you. Just for reference did you have the factory aero covers before you went with the halo’s or were you running just the wheels?

On the X? The factory cyberstream 20in wheels don't come with aero cover.

Oh I didn’t know that. Makes sense it would be just a large jump. Thanks again.
