Tesla Model Y - The Only Wheel Covers to Consider!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- I just received a new set of wheel covers for the Tesla Model Y with Gemini Wheels. To date, I have not seen any wheel covers for the Model Y that I actually liked. The Model 3 on the other hand, I was able to get an amazing looking set from TesKings.
Finally, TesKings has released a new design wheel cover for the Model Y Gemini Wheels, and it is the first wheel cover I have seen for the Model Y that I actually like. After installing these on a Model Y, they look amazing!
Wheel covers for the Model Y to date have been lacking good design, and in some cases, did not cover the lip of the alloy wheel underneath. This meant that you had a black wheel with a bright silver lip around the perimeter, and it just looks bad. These wheel covers go all the way over the lip and give you the appearance of a larger wheel than what you actually have. Designed to look similar to the Uberturbine wheels, these covers are truly a home run for the Tesla Model Y.
I have campaigned against spending the $2k for the upgraded Induction wheels on the Model Y, and now that these wheel covers are available, its even more of a no brainer to pass on the expensive upgrade. You get to keep the ride comfort, more economical tires, and still get that fresh look for a fraction of the cost.

Yeah I have to agree with you ... as much as I love our 20" inductions, we've already scratched them. Going with the 19"s and swapping out the Gemini's for something like this, is a perfect solution 🙌
its a great options no doubt
Same. I bought a Y with already scratched inductions and I’m gonna sell them for geminis.
Awww man…. Just missed you. Picked up my MY yesterday from the tent in the parking lot and I’m not crazy about the Gemini’s. I would have given these a good home. But mostly bummed that I didn’t get to say hi and meet you. Been following your channel for a while now, maybe another time! Love that you did this for someone deserving. 👏👏
Just a heads up, I always have accessories in my model y…
Holy crow those look super badass. I used your code to get my Model 3 wheel covers from Teskings and I LOVE them. It definitely sets my car apart.
100%. Best visual upgrade we made on the 3. This would be the same for the Y in my opinion
Looks awesome, Congrats to viewer. Great job as always BTG.
Cheers
Best video for wheel covers 🎉 ordering my third Model long range with induction this time. Thanks been following you forever man.
I just looked at the site they got the Ubers for y now!!
Appreciate you
Thanks, BTG. I have considered many aftermarket wheels or wheel covers for my Y and these are the best I've ever seen. The price closed the deal!!
Right on!
Those covers look absolutely awesome! I took my OEM 19" covers off and added the center logo cap from Amazon like you show. And they look good. I have some rim rash that isn't covered like those new ones would handle but I just file that flat and smooth it over and live with it. Great addition and lucky guy there that got those from you. Cheers and drive safely.
Cheers
Did you get 4 covers for $259?
Looks really good! Elevates the wheel a whole other level
Agreed
OK, these are my favorite ones that I’ve seen so far! I like how they not only cover that outside lip of the wheels, but it also covers the inside of the wheel as well. I’ve noticed most of them when you put them on you can still see the silver part of the inside of the wheel and I don’t like that. The look amazing! Just saved the link and website. I’ll be purchasing these for sure!
They are a fantastic option
thanks for showing the foam install. Now seeing this I did mine wrong. I put mine like in a "U" pattern so they covered the back and the front of the wheel cover. You put them on soley to cover the back. I wish teskings gave a slightly better install instruction but it is what it is.
Yea, some direct direction on that would be helpful for sure.
Never thought I'd say this but.. those are some nice looking hubcaps! :) I kinda wish I had these when I got my model Y, since they cover the lip of the wheel rim, seems like they would be protected. I've already gotten a bit of curb rash because the stock hubcaps don't cover that lip either.
Thanks for showing these!
Cheers
Wow looks really good, really gives the car a new jeans look
Agreed
Like the fact that it might also mitigate curb rash on the lip that normally would be still showing. Great video as always
Truth lol
Ordered a set of the Hurricanes" for my model Y..They had 30% sales so didn't use the BTG20.....Thx...Can't wait too put them on
I just brought a different brand and they wouldn’t snap in place. I figured because the clip placement was different on non-OEM cover. I noticed that the clip on my stock covers are the same as in your video. This gives me hope that they’ll fit if I buy them. Considering buying these. Thanks for the video!
These are standard size for all Model Y with the standard wheels.
This company does not stand behind their products. I tested one wheel cover, but could not get it off. Eventually I got another person to help but we had to pull so hard the cover broke. When I reported this they said it was not their problem. Now I am on a mission to tell the world as this is just a Chinese company trying to rip everyone off. Buyer be ware!
Wow they look absolutely amazing! I’m actually considering getting some fr🤭
They look really good!
those look sick.. been waiting to get something like this
They look amazing
I just bought a used 22 Model 3 and it was in great shape but had those ugly original wheel covers and 3 out of 4 wheels were curbed. I put similar "induction" wheel covers on the 3 and it looks amazing. Everyone assumes it's an actual wheel and it wraps around the damaged edge of the wheels. Makes the car look NEW and more modern than the originals.
BTG, they look great! Maybe a stupid question what does it do to the range? I have a 2022 Model Y LR. I didn't like the Gemni Caps and took them off. It looks good with the regaular rims, but I want the contrast of the black wheels with the white car. Thoughts please...
These covers look great! One thing I'd like to know is the efficiency with these new covers.
covers dont change efficiency. they are light weight and do not affect the dynamics
@@EvanLividicus of course they change efficiency. Not much but it does change
@@EvanLividicus they do, because they change drag across the wheel. I've seen claims that these give an oddity Al 2-3 miles I'd range over the stock ones but I haven't seen that substantiated in any way.
The change in efficiency, both plus and minus, are so minuscule you’d never notice it
@@EvanLividicuswrong
I have the same covers and love them.
They are pretty cool
I recently received my order for the Tesla "Whirlwind" wheel covers. They look great.
A few issues that I found with the order:
1. The adhesive strips that came with the kit were all pulled apart in the box. When I peeled away the remaining backing, all the sticky stuff stayed on the paper strip and not the foam part. Foam was not sticky. I clipped the covers on without the foam.
2. There doesn't seem to be a flat area for the foam to attach to on the inside of the wheel cover.
3. I didn't see any support section or a video for how to install the wheel covers. Yes, they just snap on, but applying the protective foam was not intuitive. You have a RUclips video for one wheel cover, but it doesn't show anything about the protective foam strips.
I didn’t show the foam on the model 3 video because I completely forgot. On this video, I show you exactly how/where to install the foam…adhesive backed foam can be tricky to separate from the paper, but in 2 installs, I’ve never had the adhesive rip off.
Wish these caps would have been available when I got my MYLR! Better ride quality and definitely more options for tires are win win.
100%. Makes these a fantastic option
I would love those wheel covers.
They are really nice
Glad to find your video. I heard you mention Florida Mall, so I'm base in Florida in that area, I got my Model Y LR delivery, would you happen to know a recommendation for a good auto body shop for full PPF install? ...and by any change do you have some of those Induction/Urbine around! 🙃 ...just kidding. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Very nice that is the way to go.
I think so too!
Thanks for video
Most welcome
What I would have given to be in your area with you giving these away as I just traded my factory Uberturbines for Gemini's as my daily driver wheels so I don't beat up my expensive custom 22's. I'll definitely look in to picking some of these up in the near future. They look really good on the car. Thanks as always for what you do.
Cheers man, I’m sure I’ll see you again at California takeover
I have Tparts induction like wheel covers. They look awesome though they are less efficient the OEM covers.
most covers are an upgrade in look.
Rimtrex also has a good looking set! But do admit this might look a touch better. Great video.
I am not a fan of that style, hence why I haven’t made a video about this until now
When you changed the wheel covers, did you have to go into the “wheel & tire” in the car settings and reconfigure it so it knows you put on new covers?
You need to do a video showing Watts per mile with these vs the aero covers. Or the manufacture needs to.
no, ive done that before and it was so minimal, you would never know the difference when driving. The last covers I tested were 1.5% more efficient, but you'd never see that in your day to day driving.
I received the wheel covers today. They are in fact directional. The ones for the right side have an R molded on the inside. The ones for the left side do not have it. Also, they are very hard to remove. Once they are on, they will remain on. Use gloves to remove them and work your way around the cover carefully. Not a big deal. I actually like they are well secure on the wheel.
I was suspecting that was coming as I saw the "R" molded in the back of these. Great to hear thanks for sharing.
Okay you just sold me on these. It really bugs me how everything else seems to be nondirectional. I know the turbine blades are just for aesthetics, but when they are the same, it will suck on one side and blow on the other side a little bit. It's just not right. So glad I waited for these!
@Luis What was your shipping timeframe?
Thank you!! Clarified
I cant even remove them!
I was about to buy these covers a few days ago, but then I noticed the little cut out for the valve stem on one of the skinny spokes. After you see it, you can't unsee it and it sticks out quite a bit. I think I'll go with a different design.
In person it doesn’t show. It’s at an angle so it blends in really nicely. Not nearly as nice as the Uber covers they make for the model 3, but as good as it can be
They look great. Only problem is they seem easy to curb. I'll keep the stock covers with plasti dip.
Yea, these stick out past the tire, so if you are close to the curb, that’s a risk
looks good!
Agreed
Fantastic !!!!!!
Yea, these covers are really a good look
Great video, Thank you :)
I've seen a few videos of covers that protects the rim. Has anybody examples of that they really protect them in practise? I.e. hit a curb and the cover took the brunt of the impact with no damage to the rims?
These aren’t specifically designed for that. They just happen to cover the lip of the rim unlike the factory aero covers
Looks good 👍
I agree!
I have all black, winter wheels, and I think I like the silver Gemini wheels without the covers the best of the two. I think all black wheel kind of makes the wheel disappear. It doesn't add to the overall look of my model Y, which is white. But I do love the design of those covers, and the fact they cover the curb rash.
Cheers
You can paint the covers with any color you want.
These look awesome, The big question is how efficient are they will we see video on a range test with these new covers!!!!
No range test. I’ve done one in the past on other covers and they were more efficient, but it was so minuscule that you would never notice. We’re talking like 10 wh/mi at best
@7:31 makes me want to say “They 19s, but I keep ‘em clean” 😂 iykyk
😂😂😂😂OMFG LOL
The website doesn't ship to Australia. Is there somewhere else I can buy them? It's really hard to find ones that don't show the silver inner rim.
I've got some very similar ones....there are actually quite a few covers available out there now which are all very close to these in looks. You can get better prices if you shop around a bit
Yea, there are FINALLY options. Took like 3 years for good options to show up lol
Can you recommend a brand with better prices that is still good quality?
@@PelosiStockPortfolio they’re all about the same quality from what I’ve seen. All made in China and all will give about the same protection for your rims. Also probably similar (minimal) mileage improvement
Do these caps get curb rash as easily as the Tesla 20” induction rims?
Looks like they sent you 4 covers that rotate the same way. A lot of these covers now come with a left version and a right version to get the best efficiency. Have a look for the newer type next time 😉
On the back of these there was "R" molded in so my assumption is they will be directional very soon.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Mine have R on 2 & L on the other 2. Some provides are just sending 4 of the same side unfortunately. The newer way is a nice step forward.
@Bearded Tesla Guy Are you concerned with the metal clips on the opposite side that could potentially scratch your OEM wheels?
No more than the factory ones. Just my opinion though
do you have any data on range? I saw your other vid where you gave out nearly a dozen different wheel covers but is there any data on what that impact is on drive efficiency? would love to know. thanks!
I want one that looks more like the induction onces that they made for the model 3. This one for the model Y has the extra spoke.
It’s because of the wheel design underneath. They haven’t been able to replicate that look yet
What’s the delivery Eta. Website says 3-5 days . I ordered them 8 days ago. I haven’t received any update since
They're 199 now! Just ordered mine can't wait to put them on!
Did u get your wheels covers delivered ?
@@grkgopuram6453 yes they were delivered within 3 weeks of ordering!
Now all he needs is a spoiler, replacement animated tail lights, a yoke, a center console with carplay, a .7.2" rear display also with carplay, upgraded interior lighting... and a center console wrap. Whew. that's it.
Anything else you’d like to add? 😂😂
They look awesome . also you can save the originals for your lease return !
Yes indeed
Looks good
I agree
clean!
Agree
❤Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!🖤
Always!
The new wheel covers do make the Model Y look better.
Much better
looks good
Agreed
You continue to do God's work
😂😂
Seems like most Model Y's I see on RUclips have Continental tires. My '24 Model Y Long Range came stock with Pirelli Scorpion tires. It is an Austin-built vehicle.
I contacted tesla dealer to change my order tesla y to 20” wheels but unfortunate tesla doesn’t allow me to do that. So the best is to get different rim cover to replace the gemini temporary before i buy another new design of rims and the existing rims of tesla i wanna use to replace my 18’ toyota rims.
Just subscribed!
welcome aboard!
I have the same covers on my MSM model Y! Love it very much but boy are they hard to take off. Make sure to wear gloves when doing so. your fingers will love you.
Yea, these are grasping in the smaller spokes so won’t be nearly as seamless getting them off
Great video..is there a code for these covers?
how are these holding up? Do they scratch the wheels? or rattle?
I had the tsportline version. They look nice and seem very protective, but when I removed the cover and noticed they scratched the wheels.
Haven't seen issues from anyone
I love these wheels but I'm looking for some wheel coves for my 2022 Model Y 20 inch induction wheels. Any ideas?
They dont make wheel covers for the Induction wheels
Looks like all 4 covers spin in the same direction? Any concerns with efficiency? I'd rather they be directional all going forward so two in each direction.
They do but no concerns with efficiency
I have these from past two months on my new MYLR. They look good. Only problem is the perimeter chipping into pieces when i go to car wash. It seems like they will break completely after 20 -30 washes. Not durable.
Oh no that’s not good. I wonder if your car wash rails are just too aggressive for these. The covers on our model 3 from the same company have been through the car wash many times with no issue.
Have you tried removing them? I need to switch to winter tires but i can’t get the new wheel covers off!!
makes me want to get some hubcaps on my volk racing rims
Lol
one thing I don't like about a lot of these covers is they are not L & R side designed. This means that on one side of the car they are facing the correct way but on the other side they are reverse.
So most of these have transitioned to directional now.
Awesome video!! Does the tape comes with the wheel covers?
Yes
Is that the black color or the gun metal? Very interested, wondering what goes better on the grey exterior
Matte black
so i didn't put the tape around the edges is that going to be a problem? the OEM covers don't have tape edges and it doesn't appear to be scratching the rims?
as long as you dont remove them, it wont be a problem. As soon as you take them off, you will see they can scratch your wheels underneath if you dont have that tape on.
Gee these are great.
Agreed
How does it compare to efficiency with the aero covers? I wanted to go either cover-less or change, but I didn’t want to lose 3% of range
You won’t lose range
How would you know already?
@@slu1I’m pretty sure you do. They’re not engineered and designed the same way as the induction wheel
How they are holding up? Are you still using them?
Thanks for making video
I dont know about these ones specifically but the ones I installed on the 3 last year are still looking great
And how do you get to the tire valves? Is there a trick to getting the hubcaps off?
Did you ever get an answer or end up ordering hubcaps like this design? I am considering it cause I love the design but have the same concern you're mentioning.
What material is this man?
Looks cool. Any idea how to get these or something similar in Europe?
does the link not allow you to order?
@@BeardedTeslaGuy unfortunately they're delivering only to US and Canada
Why didn’t you use some of the material used to not mark the hubs on the clip on parts that make contact also when you banged the caps on?
I don’t know what I’d use for that
@@BeardedTeslaGuy the same material used for the hub cap’s underside
I like the aerodisc look more than these. Instead of pretending I think it’s better to embrace the fact that it’s hub caps and make them flat so that you can put any print you want on them. Rotiform has a space/galaxy print on their Aerodiscs and that is the look I want for my model Y.
I like the look. I dont think its pretending either, I think its just a better look for a hubcap.
will those fit over 19inch gemini wheels for model s 2021?
They are not made for the model S wheels
Horrible company! I ordered these covers 1 1/2 weeks ago and they charged my credit card immediately. I have sent 4 requests via email and their online website for a ship date but they do not respond. In addition, I tried calling them today and it goes straight to voicemail. I will be filing for a refund through my credit card company.
I sent an email to their customer service threatening to dispute with my credit card provider. They did reply after that saying the order is being processed and it will be shipped. I feel like they have no control over inventory and such and they are merely a middle man. The rims were shipped directly from China.
What happens if your tires aren’t super clean? Will the tires look dirtier because of the black wheel covers?
Sure, just get a Carwash…
Not seeing these wheel covers on the Teskings website?
teskings.com/ref/2/?campaign=BTG hover over "Model Y" at the top, and select "Wheel Covers" it will be the second one on the page.
They look awesome! They don’t rattle at all to they?
Nope no rattles
Hi. Love your videos. I'm getting confused on the sight, it appears that they are $259 for a pair and not all 4.. did I misunderstand something?
Or should I be looking at the Whirlwindcovers?
All sets come with all 4 so I am not sure what you are seeing.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I was looking at the wrong ones, but yes. These are same price for only 2.. UBERTURBINE STYLE 2 WHEEL COVERS SET FOR 19 INCH HUBCAPS (2020 - 2023)
cant find these on their site. do you have an exact link to the product?
they are the whirlwind ones.
These wheel covers are only okay. I ordered them through Teskings and they took a month and a half from my purchase date to get to my house. They get shipped over from china. Also, there is no difference between the left and right side covers. Thats even noticeable in this video if you look closely. I wish I would have seen that initially. So on one side the wheel covers curve one direction, on the other side of the car they curve the opposite. The left and right sides are not appropriately mirrored. Kind of annoying. But if you don't mind that, they look good.
I have a stealth grey model y, I cant decide between the matte black and the gun metal grey? Which one do you guys recommend for me?
Same boat what did u end up buying?
@@rajeshg562 the black and i love it
Do these come with right and left or just 4 identical?
this set was one direction, but on the back was molded "R" which would insinuate they are about to be directional.
how efficiency compare with original ? or just look?
its the same. So minuscule
Hi, pls share the link on your roof cover. Ty
Will be including in video really soon! amzn.to/42Y3zeU
That’s why I just went for the MYP!
Haha
I like the ideea, but Tesskings shipping take 24 to 35 days ! Im not sure that i want to wait for that long
Yea they sold out super fast and they are backordered. Other styles are available sooner. These are just super popular
they look very cool but how do you take them off for rotations?
You just pull them off the same as you do with the standard wheel covers from Tesla
got it, keep hearing from folks with aftermarket wheel caps that they dont come off without damaging them seriously unlike the factory caps on the gemini
@@BeardedTeslaGuy
BTG which color are theee? Black or Gun metal grey?
Matte black
Do you have a discount code for these wheel covers?
I wish I did, just a link
I just received my TessKing hubcaps for my Model 3 and the packaging tape left marks all over them. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Have you heard of any QC issues? Do they have a customer support? I tried reaching out and can't get a hold of anyone. This is discouraging!
How long it took to get it ??
