Thank you for your videos. Nice Vinyl Wrap color. What’s the name of this iridescent color and where you got it?

@MarcesAurelius Месяц назад

Great Mums help their kids understand the rewards of a job well done 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼

@adrian8426 Месяц назад

Being a 90's kid, having discussions and reviews on hub-caps is incredibly ironic. Back then, everyone hated hubcaps and wanted the oem upgraded wheel options and now EVs have made them a style element. 😆

@freetrailer4poor Месяц назад

In the 70s we would count them in the center of freeway often over 100 on a trip.

@amrindraouk3440 Месяц назад

Lol for real, we goin backwards

@grahamsiebring5227 13 дней назад

Its a wheel cover not a hub cap bro!

@teslasnek Месяц назад

💯 Wheels and tires make a huge difference! I put Aero wheels and low-rolling resistance tires on my 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance and they boosted my range from 315 miles with OEM wheels and tires up to 340 miles on the freeway with the ones I put on. That's an 8% improvement! I've made multiple videos if you want to check them out 🙂

@Kin0bii Месяц назад

340 miles? What speed are you driving?

@teslasnek Месяц назад

@@Kin0bii We drove from Chula Vista to San Luis Obispo (330 miles) and had 10 miles left. We drove 65 mph constant speed the whole way with AC on the whole time and 90° outside

@The_DuMont_Network Месяц назад

I was one of the first purchasers of the Rimetrix silver wheel covers for my Model 3s. 18" wheels, natch. I noted no difference in the mileage when installing them vs the Tesla covers. My reason for purchase was to have silver rims instead of the black. I'd go for a set of more efficient wheels but only if offered in silver. Rimetrix is a class company. Quick response to inquiries, quick shipping, good folks.

@164Ryu Месяц назад

I ordered mine they look super clean and I am excited to receive them. I’ll update once I get them on my Model Y

Is that a young deer just casually standing in the lot across from your home, at 3:06? 😃

@likeke9 Месяц назад

I have the Medusa wheel covers on my Y and love them. Road noise is also reduced. Worth the money.

@ThreeDogsTwoCatsAndAWife Месяц назад

I believe the foam is to prevent further scratching on the wheel finish, not quite sound dampening foam. Great looking wheel cover!

@Resist4 Месяц назад

Exactly. Not sure where she got the sound dampening info from. It's just there to protect the edges.

@edaa.5101 Месяц назад

Ordered these for my '24 M3 after seeing them on your 3!!! Thanks for the extra % off code. Can't wait to get these on this weekend! Keep up the great work with your team! #Clipset

Bought the Orbital for my 2018 Model 3. Thx for the code! 👍

@ItsKimJava Месяц назад

Enjoy

@gcslade Месяц назад

I really like the look of these wheel covers but wish it came with Tesla center cap emblems.

@Uther2025 Месяц назад

I'm not sure, but I bet they could be 3D printed if you scan or model the original insert.

@Resist4 Месяц назад

You can buy Tesla logo stick on cap covers, that's what I did when I had my Model 3. They stayed securely in place and never came off while driving.

@Barzan-uh7qe Месяц назад

Loved the fresh perspective you brought in this video super insightful! Thank you for this awesome video Kim.

You show children what you want. You do not tell them. Monkey see, monkey do.

@OrangeCrush-GJC Месяц назад

I'm not sure where any of you are seeing the Umbra for Model Y. The Medusa is close, but not the same, and does not indicate as much efficiency gain over the Aero.

@ShredHeadProductions Месяц назад

Did you get a new Model 3? if so are you going to keep the old one? Love your Videos.

@franklandice Месяц назад

Love the wrap! I am thinking of getting those wheel covers myself too. Just wondering how strong the little tabs are on them and how they will last

@viranjith Месяц назад

Im here for that wrap! 🌈

@JohnSmith-uz3dt Месяц назад

The cheerleader outfit is so retro!

@techminimus6814 Месяц назад

Good stuff (I LOVE that wrap!). I bought the Orbitals back in 2021 (based on your review) and while I do like them overall, I can hear them rattle when I have the windows down and I'm driving on a surface that's not completely smooth (the covers are secure, however). Do the Umbras suffer from the same thing or do the foam strips take care of that?

@TenSupreme Месяц назад

please please please tell me the name of that wrap thatshit is gorgeous!!

@Riverrain123 Месяц назад

nice wheels!

@sxucy360hz 12 дней назад

do these covers actually increase the range and efficiency vs the regular aero 18 inch wheel with the stock covers on?

@Kailaniandkiara7165 Месяц назад

Wish they made them for the 19" wheels for the Model 3 (non-highland), I would try a set!

@ianfelix-u6z Месяц назад

I have the rimetrix caps for my 2022 model 3 but this I bought in September 2022 so not sure if they still have these available.

@gurmkundan4386 Месяц назад

“Right here” ❤😂

@jrherita Месяц назад

The problem is the tires matter more for efficiency than the wheels.. covers definitely help though.

@investornabil8825 28 дней назад

@robertchu9409 Месяц назад

How come no company makes the equivalent wheel covers for the Model S or Model X?

@Uther2025 Месяц назад

Now I need to see if they make them for the Y...oh, they doooo!

@oceansideDOODS 22 дня назад

those wheels covers look 10x better than the factory covers.

@ctieco3549 Месяц назад

What is that wrap?🤔 looks really nice

@MasterChief37 Месяц назад

Made in the US is not a signifier of good quality. It also means they are probably twice the price they should be if made in China.

@EIonMusk1 Месяц назад

Stating made in the US is more of a jobs in USA and not foreign jobs, made is USA is best. USA quality is always best 🇺🇸 💪🏼

@MasterChief37 Месяц назад

@@EIonMusk1 as we see which these job caps made us more expensive than made in China and are they any better?

@chasinman3495 Месяц назад

They look great I only have a 2017 Model X with plenty of curb rash, so they do me any good for my Tesla, and since I won't be replacing with a Tesla of any sort the company has nothing for me.

@xGLITCHESx Месяц назад

What’s the name of the wrap?

@whatsonfilammusic Месяц назад

Do you also have that for Model Y? Thanks!

@ItsKimJava Месяц назад

Yes, see link for the Y covers

@Ensiferum25 Месяц назад

Any idea if these cover will fit if I have brake clipper on all the wheels?

@aerodyneservices Месяц назад

There are two types of Tesla owners...those that have curbed their wheels, and those that will. I belong to the first group now, and the wheel covers did not prevent it.😢

@Resist4 Месяц назад

Depends on how hard to hit a curb. The best thing would be for Tesla to stop using tire/wheel combos where the rubber is flush with the wheel.

@johnny_ma Месяц назад

Have the orbital covers from rimetrix, the center cap is a pain to remove. Bought a new set of covers from t sportline to replace them

@ItsKimJava Месяц назад

We found the center caps on these new ones to be A LOT simpler to remove.

@todavidjensen Месяц назад

what wrap is that? Gorgeous

@PackFan2323 Месяц назад
