Tesla Model Y & Model 3 Wheel Cover Showdown: The Ultimate Comparison!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- If you have a Tesla Model Y or Model 3 with the standard wheels, there is a way to get an amazing look that will enhance your Tesla, and not break the bank. Getting the Model Y with the standard Gemini wheels, or the Model 3 with the standard Aero wheels is the right choice, because instead of spending $2k to upgrade to Induction wheels, or $1.5k to upgrade to Sport wheels, you can get a better look for a fraction of the cost.
TesPlus recently sent me one of every wheel cover style they offer and I took the opportunity to install them on every car I could find. In doing so, I got a much better look and feel for each of the available designs. Of the designs offered, you can get a more open look, closed look and everything in between. There is likely to be a style for everyone with so many options.
When aftermarket wheel covers started becoming available for the Gemini and Aero wheel covers of the Model Y and Model 3, the options were limited and none of them really looked that great. That all changed about 6-12 months ago when new designs started showing up on the market.
TesPlus has many options for both the Model Y and Model 3 in black. On top of that, the prices are some of the most competitive options out there. After watching you are likely to have a better feel for what wheel covers you are most interested in.

You have to be commended for all the coordination and work to put this video together!! And it's an excellent video! So many great options but I think I liked the Hurricane ones on the Model Y the best, with the Arachnid a runner up. Tomorrow I may have a different opinion! Cheers
Thanks again BTG! I'm still loving my new Tesplus covers on my Model Y. And thanks for the free install too!
Potential Model Y owner here. Just wanted to say I love your channel and am now subscribed.
Thanks Bearded. Just bought a set of the Arachnid's with your code. Good stuff this video!
So nice of you to share the blessings!🙏🙏🙏
Those arachnid wheel covers look SOOOOOOOO good!
You’re a modern day Santa Claus! I really like the Hurricane and Turbine Styles. this is definitely on my MY to do list. Great video, thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU for this video. I recently purchased a 2024 Model Y long range (trading in my 2021 Model 3 Long range) and I really debated on which brand of wheel covers to buy. I had bought some for the Model 3 off Amazon and the clips on 3 of 4 covers broke just installing them. These covers from Tesplus are amazing, they fit SO MUCH BETTER and don't feel like they are going to break. Your video also helped me decide which style to go with. I ended up getting the Hurricane style for my Model Y. This and so many of your videos have helped. Thanks and keep them coming !!!
Got mine after watching this, thanks BTG!
Absolutely awesome video! This was so cool to see! I tried, putting in that code you gave BTG but it’s not working? I tried at least three or four times but it’s not validating the discount code.
Love those Blade Style Model Y (2nd car). Will definitely get a set for myself!
Yea there are some really good designs here
We 40+ folks know these as hub caps lol.
Lol
Some of us are under 40 and still call them hub caps. I ripped mine off the model 3 the day I got it home. If I wasn't the final pickup of the day I would hae told the Tesla people to remove them for me so I don't look like I just left pep boys forbidden isle driving home.
@@cuztm1500😂that’s my favorite isle and I’m in the 40 club lol
Arachnid covers on the M3 😍😍😍
GREEEAT! SUCH a good Video, thanks sooo much! I will buy Induction style 15:04 .
They look greeeeat!
Glad you like them
I just put the EV Arachnid covers on model 3, really like them. Just got the black Tesla cap covers in but waiting on the silver ones. Just noticed my center cut out is different though. EV one is solid round piece which takes an adhesive cap.
you've sold me on getting myself a new set of wheel covers to replace my gemini covers.
Wow, you’re awesome man!
Thanks for such amazing video. I used your code to order Hurricane style covers for my MYLR. Only thing is Tesplus is too slow in processing the order. Its been about a week since I placed the order and they still have not shipped it yet. No idea when I will get to try them on my car. But thanks for such great video !! Cheers !!!
With these new covers, do you have to pop out the center ring first before taking them off?
Looking at a Model Y and trying to decide 19's or 20's. After seeing this best compromise would be 19's with a set of these hubcaps. Kind of suprised I'm talking about hubcaps, but they look great.
What is that strip you attached to the wheel covers? Can you please share that strip product link? And do these wheel covers come up with that Tesla logo as well?
Great review, I ordered a set & used your code. What is typical ship time? I haven't received an ETA and live in Texas
I wish they made the arachnids for the 19". They're beautiful
I think that the Celia’s ones look really good
Love the blade version on the Y. Gutted, I don’t think Tesplus deliver to the uk :-)
Bunch of lucky people getting free new wheel covers while supercharging!
Could I use 19" model y covers on a model 3 19" wheels? I seen these covers which are made for model y and they look amazing so wondered if they would fit also on same size wheel but model 3
I made the mistake of trying the arachnid s3xy wheels for the model 3 and they didn’t have the metal clips on the inside of them and didn’t seat on the wheel properly due to the plastic nature. I’m looking at the Uber wheels, blade, and induction. When it comes to the backing of them and the seat if which did you find were better as far design and how they were put together?
I was so sad that they don't make the arachnid for the model Y 😢
but I like silver wheels. Are there silver colored wheel covers to replace the Model 3 Aero covers?
Yes, they are for the aero wheels only
Its 1 of the first things I did regarding my model 3. Get rid of the stock OEM hubcaps. Dark wheels/hubcaps remind me constantly of winter conditions. Nothing more depressing than running around on dark wheels.
Don't know why everyone wants dark wheels. Aluminum by nature is not black/dark. It's got an offset grey/silver to it. But silver more than anything. Unfortunately you didn't use a hubcap popular in the Asia markets. What's really good is being able to customize the wheel cap to your liking. I've managed to put some designs and little tidbits regarding my other car on my daily 3. Looks way better. Also covers up the curb rashing the previous owner did to the oem wheels.
Such a great upgrade for such little money
Cool wheel cover designs. I wish they came in silver/chrome as well. I'm just not a big fan of black wheels.
Really wish they had the arachnid covers for the Y
I know, but the spoke spacing is a bit off to get really similar unfortunately
I wish companies would offer something other than black wheel covers. I’m so over the whole black wheel thing. Something stylish to match the grey 18” Model 3 wheels would be great.
But the tires are black :)
For the tesla y mudusa( from remix) wheel covers...where did you get the tesla center caps to fit?? Thank you!!

Uberturbine for the win!
Want a the Performance Y but without the low profile 21” tire headaches, $2500 expense for replacement tires and a rough ride? Here is a tip: Purchase the Dual Motor version with the standard 19” wheels and slap on some Uberturbine wheel covers. Add the $2k performance software upgrade and you are good to go!
So many great covers available
100% my Words! And: I DID it!
Wow, that white Y in the dark…it made those tires look twice as big.
When I tried to install them one side fits and when I go to install the other side, the first side pops out. Very frustrating. I have 18" wheels on a 2020 Tesla Model 3. I cannot figure this out. Help?
Try moving them around to different wheels. I’ve installed every one they make and not once had that happen
No shipping to europe?
Can't decide between Blade style and Turbine
I don’t understand why Tesla owners aren’t frustrated tesla used hubcaps. My experience with past cars with hubcaps leaves me pessimistic I would like having to be forced to buy new hubcaps because Tesla sucks at providing quality wheels. That’s the second worst fear I have about my future decision to choose Tesla. My first is if Juniper is then out and it has no stalks. But I appreciate you sharing what options there are. I probably like the arachnid or original sports style.
do any of these make it difficult to access the tire valve
How do you deal with scratching on the spokes from the clips? Any tips?
With all caps, including the Tesla ones, there’s always that risk
@@BeardedTeslaGuy thanks for the reply. I thought as much. Would rather this than curb rash!
Will installing after market wheel covers void the warranty?
no
Foam doesnt help, my 4 gemini -23 alloy looks horrible under the ”china abs-plastic cap”😢 brand new wheels totalt destroyed after 3months. And when trying to get them of 3/4 broke in parts… I cant belive how they manage to get scratced around like small curb scaff under the plastic.😮
Hey I just ordered these wheel covers based on your recommendation just received them and there was no Tesla logo center caps smh
I just ordered the Hurricane ones and in all the pics they have a Tesla logo in the center. Did the ones you ordered also have the Tesla logo in all the pics on their website? Just trying to see if I should expect it to arrive with nothing like yours. If so, false advertising.
@@curtiskirk584the Tesla logo caps ship separately that’s something they don’t tell you but I’m very pleased with the end product
fyi. the discount code you provided doesnt work
RAWHIDE! Saaaaweet!
lol
BTG code is not working 😢
anything for model s?
No
FYI the code won’t work on the already discounted Black Friday prices
Todays discount is bigger than the normal discount my code will get you
Can Anyone who has the arachnid style wheel tell me how durable they are and if the center caps tend to fall off?
12 * 👌💪😍
Justin I wish I run into you :)
Way to be generous
Non for the model y performance?
No, these are for wheels with hub caps
The standard aero caps add 5% of range over no caps. Definitely not nothing when road tripping.
Agreed, but these covers wont make a noticeable difference from the aero covers is my point
I don’t have a problem with the aero wheels. De gustibus non est disputandum.
LOL symmetrical efficiency wheels. RIGHT are spinning the wrong way round, is it me or why do i feel stupid lol.
I’ve always wondered why these cover makers don’t make them in a higher gloss option instead of this kinda matte black only which looks dirty all the time.
I have the 2nd blade set and they seem to be a satin black. Pretty easy to clean with some soapy water!
@@shoefiend dull color just like all the rest.
BTG code not working
So just keeping you all posted…I ordered a set of these wheel covers from TESPLUS, and they just arrived. I went to install them, but found that the center caps for each did NOT have the Tesla logo on them, but were completely blank! Just a solid, smooth black cap. I’ve just e-mailed them, and the website says they’ll respond within 24 hours. We’ll see. I’m just angry that they would ship something like that. Were they hoping I wouldn’t notice?? I’m not going to replace my wheel covers with something not Tesla-branded, and they should know better. So now I sit here with $180 worth of wheel covers I can’t install yet. Stay tuned…I’ll let you know how this works out.
UPDATE: 5/8/24 - I’m back to give an update! TESPLUS was great about getting the proper center caps out to me. I had them in hand within 2 days of them getting my message. So all’s well that ends well!
Oh no, I wish I saw this comment of yours before I ordered. I believe these are non-returnable. What did they say?? All the pics of my covers I ordered on their website have the Tesla logo. I have yet to receive the covers
@@curtiskirk584 Don’t worry. I just came back to give an update and saw your reply. They sent me the correct, Tesla-branded center caps as soon as they got my message. I had them within 2 days, so it’s all good.
That’s great news! Thank you for the update!
Tesla should just put nice hub caps off the bat damn it
anyone with wheel noise problem on these?
The foam has nothing to do with scratching and everything to do with rattling. I’ve had these for years and they all rattle over time, until they figured out the foam solution. Finally my quiet car stays quiet.
Hmm, never had a rattle issue before
Tesla knew the default original "efficient" covers were ugly as heck. It made a great upgrade incentive. This move was super cheesy. Next Tesla is going have tie die interrior, but not even a cool tie die, instead it will be brown, purple, yellow swirl painted dash (that reduces interior heat absorption by 1degree), unless, you want to upgrade to carbon fiber for +$5K.
I have always supported the advice of the Bearded one, but the my experience with Tesplus wheel covers have been a total nightmare. I ordered the Turbine style covers for my Model Y from Tesplus. When they arrived there were no instructions and you have to add foam around the perimeter and connectors with very poor picture on the web page. Being as careful and I could and aligning everything, I started to slowly install the first cover. As I went around the cover pushing lightly around the perimeter to seat it on the wheel, I heard some popping sounds and discovered the wheel plastic connector tabs broke off rendering the wheel cover totally useless. The company doesn't respond timely to emails and when they do, they are not supportive and will DO NOTHING. Who ships products with no instructions and then says, you need to follow instructions ? A total and complete rip off company! Very Sad.... I never though the Bearded Telsa guy would endorse such poor a quality organization and products.
Cust Service side shouldn't be like that. The rest of your experience is normal for all wheel covers out there. The only way to break tabs is to install misaligned
Thanks for the response. Interestingly, I have installed other covers with no issues along with my OEM Tesla wheel covers. My experience with Tesplus customer service is they don't respond in a timely or supportive fashion. We Love your channel @@BeardedTeslaGuy
How were you so much more successful at getting people to do this than KimJava? 😂
BTG my type of homie why take out the child seat 💺 to have to put it back later just shove the wheel covers around it 😂😂😂
THE M3 LOOKS SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER WITH NO HUB CAPS.
Please point the T towards the valve stem. Looks sloppy if its random. In the future i guess its too late now hehehe
Not true…
Yes it is
Did you really just say my wife will be glad these boxes will be gone?
Yes
Hi...BTG code is not working. Can you please fix this?
BTG discount code is not working
Guys gotta learn to clean the rubber side of the tyre aswell. Brown tyre, worst thing i see
Influencers!
The code is still not working, and it’s too bad that they only ship too Canada and USA, would love too have a new arachnid set off caps sent too Denmark
Code BTG still isn’t working
In case you’re hoping and wondering: zero efficiency tests. This video is all about looks, which is fine, but some efficiency tests would have been very nice. Especially in the MY since its overall less efficient than M3
I have done efficiency tests on previous videos and the difference is almost unmeasurable.
@@BeardedTeslaGuycan you please fix the discount code? I’ve seen you multiple messages
@@CyberScott86the btg discount code didn’t work for me either
@@CyberScott86 You know you can get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
Hook me up son!
