Update: Aero Wheel Cover Recall reason = making contact with tire sidewall, wearing down rubber

[rizvend]

those things are ugly anyway, if my truck comes with them, you can have them lol

Any takers yet?

Agree. On the reveal night 4+ years ago I loved everything about the looks of the Cybertruck except the wheel covers and proprietary tires. That hasn't changed. The good news is they're being redesigned and I'm sure there'll be many aftermarket alternatives.

Right, that's no nightmare. little dramatic to say the least

A friend of mine took a picture of a Cybertruck missing the rear passenger side cover today:

Tweet that's an ugly mismatch

I bought the last set that was "available" on Amazon of the plastic caps and center cover. Just waiting for my vin, may have covers by then, but I like it without actually.

For anyone who wants to cover up the center and lug nuts in the meantime, these fit well:

Lug nut covers

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing. I'm picking up on Friday and guess they don't come with covers. Do you know what color matches the wheel?

this sounds a bit like nightmare you can’t make up. I get they are only the finish wheel hubs, but seems insane.

Nightmare? Seriously? In what reality does waiting a few weeks for replacement wheel covers constitute a nightmare?

 

[SSonnentag]

Good riddance.. didn’t like them anyway! The difference in range wouldn’t matter to me at all!

The wheels seem pretty flat-surfaced anyway, so I doubt there's a whole lot of gain in efficiency when using the covers.

Oh the humanity!

So maybe a simpleton thinker here. Why can't we just shorten the tips and blunt it??

Or perhaps remove the outer rubber ring that holds (is integral with) the tips completely?

+1 - that was the only sticking point for me. I was telling myself how could they design such an awesome truck but make an ugly wheel. I’m sure there were others who thought the opposite and felt everything looks ugly except the wheels

If anyone is looking for alternate center caps (the previous ones mentioned are out of stock) these came out awesome: 83x76

Watching the video, has anyone commented on the fact it looks like the rim has chips / damage at the top of each spoke? Is that from the aero covers? I'm kind of shocked he didn't mention that at all, or at least show if it's dirty vs chipped.

Edit- added pictures

Yep just took my cover off and have the same marks. Not dirt. Def wear.
