Tesla Model Y and Model 3 wheels seem to be alarmingly prone to getting curb rash. Like many of you, I see Tesla's with scratched, chipped and destroyed wheels all the time. It is interesting because although I have seen curb rash on other cars, the Model Y and Model 3 are the most common I see anywhere.
The reason for this is because unlike similar cars, the wheels and the tires are purposely designed to be as narrow as possible on the existing wheels. This all has to do with rolling resistance. When designing an EV like the Tesla Model Y or Model 3, getting the rolling resistance down as low as possible is important in preserving range. You can actually increase range by going with a more narrow tire on an electric vehicle.
Many people may be used to turning their wheel towards a curb and their tire taking the impact of the concrete. With a Model Y or Model 3, that tire does not have a layer of protection before the wheel comes in contact with the concrete. In fact, the wheels on these Tesla's usually hit a the same time a tire would, meaning curb rash is very common.
There are some solutions and fixes to this problem, but the issue is cost, and style. There are these rubber and plastic borders you can add to your wheels, but they are ugly and stand out. You can have a professional repair your wheels every time it happens, but that can add up, and at some point you may not be able to repair a wheel anymore. The final option you have is to live with the curb rash, but if you are like me, you take pride in you Model Y and would be embarrassed for people to see curb rash on your Tesla.
Enter MagBak, yes the premium cell phone accessories company. Magbak has recently designed and developed a brand new solution to this major problem Tesla Model Y and Model 3 owners face. They have designed and built a new product that adds a sturdy plastic around the perimeter of the wheels, but it does so in a way that is nearly invisible. In fact, not only does the color match the OEM wheels perfectly, they actually designed them in a way that they can't even be seen when installed on the wheels.
These MagBak wheel covers are amazing, and allow you to protect you wheels, and have the opportunity to replace individual pieces as needed if you should damage one. This is significantly cheaper over time compared to having the wheels repaired every time. And with discount code BTG15, you will save 15% off!
Whether you share your car with others who care much less about the wheels than you, or you just want to make sure no costly accidents happen, the MagBak RimCase is a fantastic solution for you!
