I hope I do get FSD before the wheel covers. I want both, but I would rather have FSD.
I might be able to help you understand why people put up with things like this. It has nothing to do with Tesla being a cult, it's just practicality in action.
Technically the tire on the ones they take off should be properly aligned and the wheel covers could then just be shipped directly to the customers for install saving a service center visit and associated time. I would be willing to $wager$ that due to my CT not coming with the aero covers installed that the tire is not aligned on the rim to accept them properly, hence the visit to the service center once they do arrive.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.
There is no need to align the tires on the rim in any particular orientation in order to align the wheel cover "spokes" with the recessed areas of the tire's sidewall. The wheel covers are two pieces and can rotate to any installation position.
Please contact me first when your ready to sell!
My CT CB with the all season 20" Core Wheels with 35" Tires (not the off road version) included the new wheel covers as shown in your photo above. Value covers are accessible since they position each cover to apparently allow you to check/fill tires. It might require an extension or a flexible hose to do it, but I am not sure yet as I have not tried it.
?
Lol I would guess that I would have known that if I actually got mine.
I got mine on the 5 and it had the wheel cover with A/s tires
I agree with what you are saying here, but the issue is that Tesla is now delivering wheel covers to new buyers while original buyers are still waiting for months after they promised we were in the queue. It's like going to Burger King and ordering a Whopper and they say, we got to cook it for you so your number is 5. Then you sit for hours while they give out Whoppers to new customers who walk in and order. You then ask, hey where's my Whopper and they tell you it's coming (or they ignore you). Meanwhile new Whoppers going to new customers. MMMM, now I want some BK. ?I hope I do get FSD before the wheel covers. I want both, but I would rather have FSD.

If there is something amazing, and you want it, like a Cybertruck, but you can only get it now without two things (that you also want), like wheel covers and FSD, then you have a choice:
1) Wait for it to be available with everything you want.
2) Accept it now, with the understanding you will get the two accessories at an indeterminate time in the future.
I chose #2, and it had nothing to do with a cult, it had to do with exploring all my available options and choosing the most appealing one. I mean, I can't produce my own Cybertruck, not even just the wheel covers or FSD. I could have bought a Ford Lightning but then I would just have a Ford Lightning, and it doesn't come with wheel covers or FSD either. As it stands, I've had 5 outstanding months exploring all difficult to access areas in the local mountains in a much more amazing vehicle. If I had refused to accept this kind of behavior, I would have nothing (or a Ford Lightning), LOL!
None of this should confuse you.
What I find hilarious is, one year ago, half the people were saying the wheel covers are hideous and undesirable. Now, many of the same people are saying Tesla is bad, and the buyers are stupid, for accepting delivery without them.
The same thing can be said about FSD, a year ago it was a dangerous experiment that doesn't work and isn't safe, now that it's not provided with Cybertruck many of the same people are asking why would anyone accept delivery without access to FSD every month you own it?
See how that works? Some people are just desperate to throw shade on the Cybertruck and Tesla any way they think they can, the truth doesn't matter to them. But I can assure you that people who go out and get what they want, even if it doesn't come with everything they want upfront, are acting in a perfectly rational manner to get as much of what they want, as soon as they can get it.
I don't see why they couldn't start shipping them in the beds of each truck being transported to the delivery centers and they rapidly do both. They seem to only be focused on handing them out to new customers right now. I base this information on everything we know, plus what I've been told by 2 different service centers.
When ever they come if they ever do I for sure will.
I've been pretty vocal with my frustrations over Tesla-- as a long-term legacy owner. But I watched a video last night of recent drone footage over Giga Texas. From everything I could see and hear from the narration (from a guy seemingly familiar with every pipe and dumpster at the plan), Tesla is working their a$$ off to produce these Cybertrucks as fast as they possibly can-- to the point that there are storing castings anywhere and everywhere they can at the factory (which-- as an aside-- is constantly being expanded to allow for more production).
