Driving a Tesla Model 3 is already an experience in style and performance - but the company just stepped things up even more with its recently announced upgrades to the “Highland” version.
From improved aerodynamics to enhanced exterior visibility,
it's hard to choose which of these new features is best! But if we had to pick
one, then there would be no mistaking that the upgraded Aero wheels for the
Model 3 “Highland” have got us all giddy with anticipation.
With their bold yet sleek design, these new wheels are both aesthetically pleasing as well as extremely functional. So, let's take a more detailed look into why they're causing such a stir in the EV community - and what kind of incredible technological improvements lie within them!
Tesla Aero Covers Improve Range and Efficiency
Tesla's Aero wheel covers may not be the most aesthetically
pleasing additions to its fleet of vehicles, but there’s no denying that they
offer a useful purpose. Fitted on Tesla Electric Vehicles (EVs), these wheel
covers have been designed for optimum aerodynamics and serve to drastically
improve vehicle efficiency as well as range.
A study conducted in 2019 by Car and Driver provides data
that bolsters this point. In line with Tesla’s claims, the study found a
significant decrease in energy consumption as well as improved range when Aero
wheel covers were used on the Model 3.
Despite all this evidence however, many owners have chosen
to take off their Aero caps off their own vehicles, revealing a sleek shiny
wheel underneath – choosing form over function with a certain flair for
aesthetics. Removing these caps boast an admirable sporty look which has
seemingly become a trend amongst many owners.
In addition to the newfound aesthetics, some owners claim that the wheels behind these covers are aesthetically superior as well – and they prefer no cap at all!

New Model 3 Highland has Even More Sportier Wheels
Tesla has unveiled a new wheel design for the Model 3,
giving it an even sportier look. Fans of Tesla's original Model 3 wheels will
enjoy the upgrade from their beloved car. The new wheels feature a much more
frenetic and contemporary aesthetic, with multiple spokes in place to boost its
overall appeal. This helps give the already stylish vehicle another level of
pizzazz that may have been missing before on earlier versions.
The wheels also come with its own set of Aero covers. This
serves both primarily to aid in increased efficiency during driving conditions,
but the design of them contributes overall to the new look as well. The sporty
vibe remains despite their existence, something that is quite impressive
considering that they are often viewed from a more utilitarian perspective.
In addition to just looks and performance though, these Model 3 Highland wheels offer an aesthetically pleasing look even with the aerodynamics now in play. The overall design has been given a refresh, and these new wheels prove that Tesla is taking all of its considerations seriously in order to evolve the car as much as possible.
