Nothing in my post mentioned aero covers? We are talking about emblem covers.
These are aero covers? They look like alloys 😆👌
There is no chrome bar above the number plate on the 3 or Y.
You’re thinking of the old Model S. But yea, I dechromed all my previous S’s.
Thanks for the info @Gumbo - They look lovely on the white - I'll try the cap cover version so. Did you do anything with the chrome bar above the number plate?
I bought mine for the MS and M3 on AliExpress.
There is no “Model Y” emblem on the rear.
Just “Dual Motor” if you’ve bought that the LR or P, RWD is blank.
I’ve bought the replacement ones and the cap cover versions and I’ve noticed no difference. The covers aIt a little higher but not noticeable if you get me.
For those whos car is on the Hoegh Chiga transport vehicle
This tracks it real time
Would 19” Model 3 sport wheels look decent on a Model Y as a swap from the standard Geminis ? Tyres should swap over to lessen the outlay. I’m not that keen on black/grey wheels or plastic covers but I understand they’re fashionable at the minute.
Any recommendations on black emblems @Gumbo? Change the badge that says Model Y too on the rear - I assume nothing else written on the back of the RWD/LR ones?
I’d add the following if I took delivery of a white MY :
Thats it for me personally.
What do people think looks best with the white? Matte black?
Black Spoiler looks very well on the white, small and subtle, not too much at all.
I've bought loads of crap on AliExpress already, mats for the boots front and back, center console trays, underseat air-vent protectors. It's too easy not to! All fairly easy to remove if it doesn't suit or looks tacky.
This!!!! I was showing the wife some of the crap you can buy, and this was the thought going through my head...only far more poetic!
Yep that’s the cheapest set that would actually look good too. Be careful it’s a rabbit hole on AliExpress. You could very easily end up like a 99 Honda civic after FAS payday. I’m limiting myself to the black wheel covers but tempted by the small black spoiler. Is it OTT? I’m on the fence…
Looking at this
is that the one people are looking at?

Once you get the VIN, I would agree.
Try sleeping now 🤣🤣
It's all getting very Real now. Could be a matter of weeks away!
Granny and type 2.
No adaptors needed for any charger.
It’s amazing the crap that’s online that has led to new users like yourself thinking Tesla give nothing with their cars.
The wheels themselves. I’d remove the hub caps.
Wheel Wizards in Finglas is 1.
The hub caps? Where would you get that done?
What cables and adapters does the model y come with. For the march delivery? They Come with granny charger but anything else? Eg do you have all the cables and adapters to use easygo or esbcars for example?
If I keep the 19”, I’ll be getting them power costed Performance Grey too.
The other option is to spray the Gemini's Matt black. £10 on Amazon
I’ve done a good bit of digging on this. 2 main options Amazon or AliExpress. Way more choice on ali. Your looking at the bones of 200 quid
I’ve narrowed it down to 2: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMKvyQO
or
the 1st looks a bit better but 80€ more expensive
the 2nd resembles gemenis closer so I’d imagine more aero dynamic.
Loads of videos on YT so you can gauge the different variants.
Some appear better than others but most of them are made in China so sometimes the Ali and Amazon versions are as good as the big EV aftermarket brand versions.
One thing is, Tesla have tested the covers to work with the car and some tests so show a decrease in range with the new covers.
I stuck with geminis as the inductions would have brought me over the grant. So I’ll get a set of inductions or P wheels if I take the car.
Are most folks just ordering geminis and then ordering some sort of new covers? Do the aftermarket ones look class or cheap and plasticy?
I don’t mind paying for good ones given the inductions are so expensive!
Although they vanished from the account page, they're still assigned, just hidden.
Nah mine still estimate Feb - March,Im hoping I'll get a update this coming week.
Apparently a lot of those with first round VINs, are waiting again! They assigned VINs seemed to have vanished!
Any VINs being assigned yesterday / today for folks or is the first round over for now ? :/
