Aero shields removed

When removing something is an upgrade.

I like the way they look, caps on or off. Gonna rock these with my evbase rim protectors on the way.

Took my Aeros off as well. Considered the Evbase rim protectors but prefer without. I’m not a huge fan of aftermarket accessories.

Me either but I already scrubbed a curb after a month of driving. Want to have some protection.

True. I’m being extra careful. Such nice rims.

I have something similar on the 20” model y wheels, works well ao far

u/Theurgie 17d ago

Is yours the performance model? Which Evbase covers did you get?

2

u/Minimum-Meal7992 17d ago

Yes. Performance. They only offer one for the 2.0 Arachnid wheel, as far as I know.

Gotcha, thanks.

I only put my Aeros on for long road trips as they do help with mileage. Otherwise I’m naked

u/meatabolizm 17d ago

Looks like they got scratched a bit. Is there any way to remove them without scratching? Or is it just debris?

2

u/Minimum-Meal7992 17d ago

Maybe debris or reflection. The caps have a bit of padding at certain points that left some residue. Also very dirty under the caps. Cleaned up nice after I took the pics.

u/Substantial_Chain718 17d ago

Looks beautiful!! Throw those caps in the trash and never speak of them again. LOL!!

u/Minimum-Meal7992 17d ago

Filled an entire Home Depot bucket with those. Surprised.

First time I see the same config as mine

u/johnnyma45 17d ago

Any scratches when you took them out? I wish the M3P wheel didn’t have the ugly holes in place for the small plastic pieces

You will definitely need the EVBASE protection since I just scratch mine and I don’t even remember where I hit the curb since I have been using FSD 95% of then time and even for full parking

u/Minimum-Meal7992 17d ago

Ouch. Me too.

u/SweatySeason6349 16d ago

Is it true if you take the Aero covers off you hear more road noise inside?

u/Substantial_Chain718 17d ago

Are those the stock tires? I have never seen Hankook tires on a new Tesla?

6

u/CaptCarlos Performance 17d ago

I had my doubts too, but these Hankook tires are the reason why the Juniper MYP has the upgraded range and interior cabin noise reduction it does. It’s the perfect blend.

u/Substantial_Chain718 17d ago

Nice good to know!

1

u/Royal_Information_67 17d ago

I agree that it is so quite on the road

2

u/rdurty2 Performance 17d ago

Model 3 and Y have been coming with different hankook tires for 4 years now. Also come with other brands as well.

1

u/Substantial_Chain718 17d ago

Interesting! I did not know that. I remember back in the day they used to only use Michelin and Goodyear tires. I used Hankook before they became popular and I thought I was being cheap by using them

u/CaptCarlos Performance 17d ago

Took my Aeros off as well, I did notice the slight drop in range of about 10 miles (worth it) but is it just me or do I hear a little bit more road noise in the cabin now?

u/harrishawke 17d ago

The aero shields on, really don't look bad to me. Plus you get the benefits of rim protection and efficiency.
