Induction Wheel - Directional design

[BelugaWhale]

I haven't found another thread about this, but please point me to it if there is one.

I'm wondering why more people are not talking about the induction wheel design and the fact that they're directional. The driver/left side wheels are in the correct, aerodynamic direction. However the passenger/right side wheels are backwards with the flat part of the spokes leading. To me this is absurd. While aeordynamics are so important to Tesla, to the point that hub cap wheel covers are built for the gemini wheels, how can half the set of Induction wheels be neglected? I can't bring myself to running these wheels knowing half the car is backwards.

Can anyone please argue this or present other information to better inform me?

Thanks!

Are there any directional options to purchase

All cars with directional wheels are like that. Even the aero covers are like that.

My old 90s fox body Cobra had specific left side/ right side wheels. Not mine pictured. But same wheels.

...ditto for my 90s era MSW wheels on my Audi S-4.

Evidently having specific left/right wheels wasn't cost-effective.

I was wondering the same. Would love to see the induction wheels or any of the wheel covers put I a wind tunnel and tested! Somebody on here must have access to a wind tunnel? Seriously, enough of the YouTubers “closed loop” tests and let’s see some actual data!

my 19" hub caps from yeslak are directional.
