This week in our Tesla DIY Series, we replace our aero wheel covers with Tsportline's Uberturbine wheel covers. These covers are not only designed to replicate the Tesla performance look, we also tested and learned that they perform better than Tesla stock aero wheels and also the Rimetrix aero wheels currently on the market. The TSportline Uberturbine wheel covers are available for Model 3, and Model Y aero wheels.

With Ronaldo 5 stars video. 🍻
You guys are so much fun! Love the Kim Java logo. Cool mom! 😊
I love that it completely covers my curb rash.
I know that part is such a nice perk!
great video !! thanks for this. Would you really say that the covers make the job compared to actual induction wheel? also considering 20" looks better that 19". Looks like it's as nice on the video but in reality? thanks.
I can’t believe how big Liam is, I remember him being in a car seat when you were running your Model X as “Like Tesla” and getting everyone your Tesla code.
almost as big as me now lol
Great video and nice work on the mods. I actually like the yellow more than the normal red.
Great video and the mother/son duo convinced me to purchase a set. Question, the link you have for the center logo cover on Amazon says it’s only compatible with the Kavanic wheel covers but I’m assuming they also work with the t sportline? Thanks!
The logo on the caliper is amazing!
This was great ! Especially with the range test ! The performance look ones are fire !
Any comparison on the efficiency vs. Model Y stock Gemini cover?
I bought a long range because I didn't want 20 inch wheels and a lowered vehicle, so these covers are perfect to get the same look for so much less. And then add in the acceleration boost and you get an even faster vehicle.
Nice! Be sure to use code KimJava to get your free tesla S3XY tumbler when you order. Details in description
Do you have link for the tire kit for wrench etc?
here it is tsportline.com/products/diy-at-home-wheel-tire-install-tool-kit?_pos=1&_sid=9e60eaa6a&_ss=r?KimJava3&TH-cam&Cover
@@ItsKimJava thank you so much. Keep up great videos.
4% range improvement by changing the wheel covers is a huge deal. Over 14 more miles of range on the Model Y long range would be a big deal.
Good point.
I have a 2022 M3 LR and a 2023 MY P and have these on both cars. On the Model Y P going from performance wheels to the 19's with the aftermarket aero covers I average 263 (Wh/mi) vs 304 (Wh/mi) with the Performance wheels. The combination of the new suspension for 2023 and the plusher tires is butter!
And no fear of curbing when I can just pop another one on!
@@AI-Driven-Entrepreneur Which aftermarket aero? How did wh/mi compare with standard aero or Uberturbine Aero? Also it's 19 inch OEM/LRR tires?
@@Trust_but_Verify OEM/OEM tires they are the model y uberturbines with the thick and thinner alternating spokes. I never tested the original Aero as they are hideous on the Y.
Thank you for this
Need to install & range test the aftermarket Cybertruck wheel covers for Model 3/Y
Did you install the gray or black ones?
great job Liam (and Kim too😜) I've always wondered how hard it would be to add the calliper covers, but it obviously is quite easy. The Kim Java decal Was a cool idea instead of just the Tesla or Tsportline one. Thanks again Kim.
Glad you enjoyed!
Kim, another great product review! I got my Rimetrix Orbitals 2 years ago when I saw your video. Now I want these Uberturbine covers. They look a lot better IMO. Are they easy to remove? The Rimetrix wheel caps are a pain to remove. Also do they scratch the aero wheels. I got the Rimetrix before they added the foam strips and scratched all of my wheels ☹
Thanks Daniel. I agree, Orbitals are tough to remove and get scratched in the process. These are just like the Tesla Aeros in that they simply pop on and off without needing to remove the center caps first.
Thanks for watching, be sure to use code KimJava and get a free Tesla S3XY hot/cold tumbler with your order. Just add the tumbler to cart first.
Do the Tesla center caps you reference in your links fit the TSY14 Tesla Model Y Uberturbine Styled Aero Wheel Cover for 19" Factory Tesla Wheel?
your DIY videos are my favorite. and so cool to show your son (jeez he grew) that one can do a lot oneself 🎉
Thanks so much!!
Hi Kim, how are these wheel covers holding up? Any scratches on the wheel or noise well driving?
They’re great. No noise at all.
4:35 Hi Alex! It is always a great video when you are part of it representing the Atlanta Tsportline Crew!
Alex is a good guy!
@@ItsKimJava His videos are great, please tell that I said hello. I always make it a point of calling him by name in his videos, but this is your video! I don’t know if he would remember me. I would appreciate it Kim. You know that I always try to leave you personalized comments too.
will definitely let him know.
@@ItsKimJava You are an angel 😇!
@@ItsKimJava I only know him through his videos, I don’t have any socials from him if he is willing to share anything.
I was wondering if the Uberturbine covers come in 2 different molds. I ordered mine and they are all the same, all four of them. How can it be efficient when the passenger covers are facing the wrong way? Maybe I got something wrong
The only ones I’ve seen so far that come in different directions for each side are RPM Tesla’s version. Odd that the videos for these never point out that one side is backwards.
I've read (at least on model Y) that the brakes are now (2023) the same on performance and long range?
That actually looks really good!
😎😎Another Kim Rebuilds episode 😍 I love T sportlines products for Tesla
Thank you Scuba Trucker, we love our fans!
You should always use a Jack stand. Hydraulic jacks are not meant to hold a load for a sustained amount of time. They will creep down. Leaving them under load will also damage them, causing the o-rings to fail.
True, but no good place to put jack stands on a Tesla. Jacks are ok for quick work like changing a tire. Of course, as noted in the vid, never get under a car with jacks only.
@@aerodyneservices we’re you watching the same video dude? They weren’t just simply changing a tire.
Awwww kids grow up so fast... Great video... Nice covers
WHen do they make a BLUE cover?
Does the center wheel cap come in flat with tape or with wired fitting like pictured on Amazon?
Flat with tape. I may have linked the wires one below. I’ll fix.
Kim, thanks for this video. I ordered the Uberturbine wheels about 2 weeks ago and they arrived this past weekend and as expected install was super easy. They look great and thanks to your code I saved $25! I drove R/T Southern CA to Bay Area 2 weeks ago. Taking same route in #2 weeks and will compare kWhrs/mi between 2 trips. Thank you for all of your videos. 😊
Have fun!
Howard could you please confirm if they are directional wheels or all 4 wheel covers the same? Cause in the video the passenger side covers seem to be rotating in opposite direction to the drivers side covers.
@@phoenix61180 Sorry never noticed this note before. They all are the same; I compared them side by side and couldn't see any difference.
Cool wheel covers but Kim looks absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥
No mention of the 10k price decrease for the Model X (as of 3/5/23)? Seems no TH-camr wants to cover it. One guy (who I no longer follow) said he can't afford an X so doesn't report on it - WOW! Tesla news is Tesla news. Love your video's!
like the aero cover but not the brake cover.
This may have been ask before. But are you going to do a chrome delete on the M3?
thinking about it but sort of like that the silver is rare and the chrome with silver paint is even more rare...not sure though. Other big mods coming soon though!
Awesome love it will get all, thanks
A really good idea for a video, and well done! Your costar was an excellent choice. Add a "Thanks" option below your video so I can contribute when I really like a video!
Thank you for that suggestion Bill! Just added it!!
You have such a nice son. I wished mine likes to help out. Also loves the performances wheel covers
Question: so if I have the 19 premium wheels can I get the Uberturbine wheels covers?
19” covers on Model Y do have a wheel cover, linked below
Thanks 🙏
Will order one now!! ❤️
Be sure to use code KimJava to get a free Tesla S3XY hot/cold tumbler. Just add it to cart first.
Hi Kim , the KJAVA20 code to buy the caliber cover is not valid. Please help 🙏 🙏
Is it just me or are the passenger side hubcaps wrong? They seem to be rotating against the wind when driving forward.
Please share me the jack with adapter to lift Tesla
The best thing of this video is that Portugal shirt of your kid 😜
how does the range translate to mile difference
Love the aesthetics but I heard that these after market covers scratch up your wheel. (I don’t have experience w covers, just what I heard.)
We’ve had several different covers and unfortunately the wheels are already scratched the first time you remove the stock covers. Metal clips rubbing on brake dust is not a good set up.
These have a foam band on the inside to protect against scratches.
Hey Kim, it looks like the KJAVA20 isnt valid for the caliper cover anymore, do you happen to have any updated discount code?
Yes, the code is now KimSaver25 for $25 off a set. Also in description
Looks great with less money used!!!
Definitely!
Does it fit as well for the model y?
Yes, see link in description
Are you hearing or did you hear any popping / creaking noises on turning or driving in slow speeds (under 15 mph) after installing those Uberturbine wheel covers from TSportline?
No, it’s silent. Comes with padding on backside as well to reduce any potential for scratching your existing wheels behind the cover.
@@ItsKimJava Thanks for responding. My driver front cover makes a popping and creaking sound on low speeds (under 15 mph) especially on turning the vehicle to the left, like coming out of my garage or any parking. I swapped the covers to see if one of them only had that issue but it’s happening with the 2 other covers as well. They were all very very tightly fitted in to the Aero wheel. What do you think that could be? I cannot tell where exactly on that wheel and cover is the sound coming from. Bought from TSportline as well.
@@sanjuvarma send them back for replacement
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Do these crack as easy as the M3 performance wheels?
If they did, they’d cost you 10x less to replace. 😉
Love that your getting your son to help. Ease him in and he will be YouTubing in no time..
Great video but I wish you also range tested the default rim with no covers. Thank you
We actually did, didn’t end up including it in the data but it was 267 wh/m without the covers.
@@ItsKimJava oh that's great information, thank you ⚡
Great video but, only problem with lug nut keys you would have to keep them with you especially (Flat tire) in the car so hopefully theives wont break into the vehicle.
Good point, there are plenty of hidden nooks and crannies in the car (trunk mini side wells, front trunk, under seats etc. maybe best not to keep them in glovebox if that’s a concern
@@ItsKimJava Would recommend Frunk because at least they wouldnt have access.
Keep the wheel lock keys with the jack pucks...you don't want to leave home without them!
Awesome
I may need to stop watching these videos. I keep buying more Tesla accessories because of it. First the Yoke and now the wheel covers. 🤣😂 Another well done video.
What I think...I want this kit for the refresh Model S...
that would be fire
@@ItsKimJava the gold caliper covers seem to be a match for the gold lettering on my soon to arrive CA legacy plates...
Stay tuned....Model S coming :)
The stock aero hubcap color matches perfectly with the Metallic Midnight Silver. The look isn't bad.
But if those upgraded hubcaps can cover curb rash, hmm...
Def a cool Mom 💯
Liam has great taste!
Liam is such a good helper! 👍🏻
@@TSportline He is a good kid and he's got great parents and a nice brother and a newish sister I think!
Use a jackstand.......
Liam. I hope Mom, took you for ice cream after you helped. Good job, you two!
Any deals on wheels?
@@ItsKimJava Instead of that $25 tumbler, how about $25 off the wheel covers?
UPDATE: Tsportline is now offering a $25 discount the wheel sets with code KimSaver25 at checkout.

Your son have great taste on shirts!! Portugal!!! And Cristiano Ronaldo!!! 😍
Can we get the stuff in Germany too?
Pretty sure it’s a yes. Check out the link
Why not use jack stand?
most people don't have one on hand. Just showing an alternate method.
@@ItsKimJava there is no place to safely put a jack stand. I use two jacks, easier for tire rotation. I always install and remove and torque the wheel nuts and bolts with the wheel off the ground.
@@ItsKimJava That was was excellent pro tip!
You should always use a Jack stand. Hydraulic jacks are not meant to hold a load for a sustained amount of time. They will creep down. Leaving them under load will also damage them, causing the o-rings to fail.
Wait, I couldn't just gotten wheel covers?!
It doesn’t matter where you stay, your wheels can get stolen anywhere. And now that you’ve shown the key they’ll just go get the key. Then they will steal your wheels. I’m just saying. Nice video.
Your son is Ronaldo’s fan. Big tumbs up, perfect family. Tesla and Ronaldo fan. I am from Portugal.
Looks great but stay away from wheel locks. They're SUPER annoying! More headaches than anything else.
And very easy to remove without the key socket. You can actually buy a tool that removes them or just use vice grips. I had to do that once when I lost the key. So if someone wants your wheels, those wheel locks won't slow them down.
Your son have a GREAT Tshirt form Portugal soccer team and Cristiano Ronaldo. Thanks from Porto, Portugal.
Станок норм)
just love mom, lipstick and what ever you do
Will Portugal win one day? Lol 😂(I would love to btw!)
That's hot...
That’s too bad only 2 color choices
Can we get right to the meat of this video and talk about Foreo? It’s the look for less that I have wanted for awhile now! Haha😊
😆☺️ giving you all kinds of looks for less today.
It's the absolute best honestly! Quite effective, if you're thinking about getting one absolutely do
Definitely cool mom :)
Such a cool wife and mother !
Whoa!:, 234 whrs/km is 50% higher than my M3 RWD. Why’s that?
Wh/mile not km in our case.
Showed my wife this video and said " that is not her thing ".
Your Model 3 looks more like a performance than my Performance model
Well you are not hacking anything nor are you boosting the performance with larger wheels. Looks better yes. Better range no.
Incorrect, wheels are not actually larger and they do in fact give you a roughly 4% boost in range
The wheels didn't change in size, just the hub caps are bigger. And yes range does get improved, it's science.
Def not like regular moms, unfortunately for children the world over...
First?
Notification squad what what!! Thanks for the support.
The problem with these covers is that they don't have a right vs left ... Defies the purpose of aerodynamics
it's literally more efficient than stock ones.
@@ItsKimJava the stock wheels and covers on all teslas are interchangable left/right, so these covers should be fine.
