Just came across this. Fit and finish look good and I always liked these covers in the concept vehicle and early deliveries. Don't see an opening for tire pressure service though? Anyone know if they are shipping now?

This feels like a Troll for all us OG Owners… #needmycovers!
I’m with you. It is comical that we may receive FSD before the wheel covers.

Although, I’ve heard about Tesla being notorious for these type of things. It’s interesting to be on the receiving end. It begs the question, why is it accepted? I’m reminded of something I read in the book, ‘The 48 Laws of Power’, regarding people accepting things they would not normally. I believe it was one of the chapters referring to a cult following. It’s a great book if anyone is looking for a good eye opening read.

Man I’m so jealous of everyone getting the covers! I picked up mine second week of August and not even a week later people started posting here that they were getting theirs delivered with the wheel covers. ? terrible luck but at least I still got the truck lol.

Agreed, I am sorry to all the Tesla a@#$ss lickers, I got my cyberbeast in May, and it is insulting, that the ones that paid first, are waiting while the new owners are getting the damn covers. I'm happy for the lucky ones that are getting it, but I'm livid with Tesla for doing this.

I can understand why they stopped including the wheel covers (safety). I can also understand why new CTs would get it before previous buyers. That is X less shipments of covers to homes or service appointments, it saves Tesla a lot of money. Early adopters get the shaft.

But yes you are correct, a lot of people are this forum are fanatic and will justify any behavior of Tesla even if its against their own best interest. Thankfully its not everyone and most people are very helpful.

There seems to be a simple solution here, for those of us who took delivery without wheel covers in the past several months we can just drive down to our local Tesla center and when a new one comes off the truck we take the wheel covers off and put them on our car and let the new owner start the wheel cover waiting process all over again. :) Seems like a reasonable thing to do... I also suggest wearing masks that make you look like Elon while doing this...

It's BS and I recommend you reach out to Siddhant Awasthi on X and let him know what you think about it like I did. He is the Cybertruck Product Manager and has taken responsibility for the wheel cover deliveries in postings on X. His X handle is @siddawa and if you let me know about the post, I will chime in as well. If they hadn't sent out emails to everyone two months ago and then several weeks ago he even said they were moving to deliver these to current customers, it would be different. I know service centers in Florida that have delivered some but my service centers in North Carolina tell me they are not available in this region yet. I guess Elon needs to bring a rocket scientist from SpaceX over to distribute these things. This is product 101. I have worked in manufacturing and I know how these are made (injection molded plastic, extruded rubbers, stamped metal) and they could literally make enough of these for existing customers in 1-2 weeks, assuming they are not making them by hand. Then I would load up the beds of every freaking CT headed to a SC with these things and immediately send a notification to existing owners to go ahead and book an appt a couple of weeks out so their covers will arrive by the time of the appt. I can come up with multiple ways to get this done, so I don't know why they can't get these out when they obviously have them.
