Wheel Center Caps installed

[Cold.Truth]

Hi,

I’ve seen a few Cybertruck choices across these forums and on eBay so I thought I’d share mine.
I’m not a fan of the $80 fees for a few plastic parts but hey, whatever floats your boat.
I found these on eBay for $20 plus $12 shipping so they came to about $27 total.
I chose mine without the “Cybertruck” graffiti logo but with the triangle.
What I found interesting is that they’re polarized into Left vs Right so the Cyber-triangles point forwards. I get the sense these are fabricated here in the USA using a 3D printer but I’m not 100% certain.
They snap into place. I few of the “tines” were broken due to the USPS soft-package so the seller is sending replacements immediately via box (they have since switched from softpacks to boxes). They have friendly & fast customer service! I’m going to recycle my Model 3 lugnut caps along with a few new ones but they’re not installed yet. I included a comparative photo showing Model 3 vs CT center cap size too. I like this center cap w logo and the price is reasonable.

I hope this helps some of you, regardless of your preferences or decisions!

I ordered from them too last week. One of mine arrived broken and they sent 2 replacements immediately in a box with priority mail and even included a 3d printed Cybertruck keychain. Excellent customer service. Now I just need my damn truck lol. My delivery was postponed from 4/15 because of the pedal issue.

Very cool well, at least now you’ll know what they look like ahead of time! Good luck!

They will fall off the truck. It’s a bad design.

I did this design to fix it.

I agree. I had a few of those printed in pla.

I just put in the bkb12’s design in (printed in asa) yesterday. We’ll see if those stay on…

Yes, that is my experience as well on my current truck. I wrapped some painters tape around the prongs and held strong for 4+ years now.

I’m the one that makes these for my wife to sell. I print them in ASA and have sold dozens of them. I haven’t had a case yet where they fall off the truck. Customer satisfaction is our top priority. If you break or loose any we will replace them for free.

I printed four of the center caps with a similar/same design and installed them on the truck. Two of them popped off on my first long road trip to Houston.

Happy to let you use my design, if you give the cyber truck owners group members a discount

I have to say I went on a 60-mile trip today with speeds ranging from 0-90 mph, mostly high-speed Interstate but some backroad twisties also (I live at the foot of a mountain). The center caps did not “fall off.” I checked them closely for any sign of centripetal force involvement - there were none. Granted, I did not go off-road onto river bottoms and through mud pits where the wheels might take more abuse - and 60 miles might not be a huge highway data set - BUT - again, no signs of them coming loose at all. And I don’t believe they will. They were fully-seated when I parked it in my garage, (I have no financial incentive to say anything but the truth here. I’m just a customer who paid in full for them).

Also, these were the units where the USPS broke the tines and they STILL showed no signs of coming off. The two replacements have shipped out today (in a box) and I’ll swap them into service and keep the broken ones as spares. Cheers.

Thanks I just may do that. So far this design seems to be holing up well.

FWIW, I just did ~300 miles from ABQ to Baldy Mountain, NM and back. This included about 30 miles of gravel and dirt roads over hills and across six cattleguards, at speeds of 5-50 MPH, as well as highway speeds on I-25 up to 90 mph. I’m happy to report that the Hub covers are still on and look just fine.
