Aero wheels

[Citizen-T]

I bet the Model S tops 300mi in the EPA test even without the tires. I think Tesla has learned how to under promise and over deliver. Good strategy.

Let me pose the question as this:
If the aerodynamic wheels are the same price, give +7% range but are slightly less attractive, will you get them?
How about more than less attractive - all the way to fugley, will you get them?

[Citizen-T]

For me, the range is already more than sufficient. I wouldn't sacrifice aesthetics for a tiny bit more.

Next thing you know they'll be all the rage. No matter what they look like.

I noticed that the 19 inch wheels will be subject to curb damage if you are not careful as the wheel extends outside the protective rim of the tire!

I will get the aerodynamically optimized wheels. Highway travel speeds here are 80-100mph. Any drag reduction will be big help in not loosing to much range.

Short of "repulsive," I'd consider the aerodynamic wheels. This car makes a statement... the wheels can make a statement too. If you don't act like the wheels are ugly, all the other car owners will be jealous that they can't have aerodynamic wheels. These will be the "spinners" of the 2010's!!!!

Bring on the hubcaps...

It's awfully rare I'd need to stretch out those extra 20 miles, so I'll say no. If they were something you could attach when needed somehow, then maybe.

I'm confused.....has anyone actually seen even a sketch of these wheels?
