Yes, I have to say that does feel like a step cheaper, but quite like the look of the wheel coversWe've gone from diamond cut alloys to plastic aero wheel covers...
They are alloy wheels under the covers.
they don't look terrible without the covers on!They are alloy wheels under the covers.
They've done this for Aero - like Kona Electric, and Tesla Model 3.
Wonder what effect it would have on the efficiency to drive with the covers off?
Those trims don't come off easily. I had a good writhe around trying to get them off the car I filmed, and gave up as I didn't have any tools.
I'm guessing it wouldn't go up
Well, can always be used as frisbees on the beach in the summer...They are alloy wheels under the covers.

I agree !.Im lead to believe the covers serve 2 purposes. one to aid the efficency. where possible, the second to remove the warranty implications of diamond cut alloys, as its always a different option of who's responsibility under the warranty for when the lacquer starts to peel or the alloys start to go milky, due to water ingress or contamination
a cover is easier to replace and less chance or damage due to being plastic.
just my thoughts
I have read somewhere that the difference is so minimal that the spare wheel and slightly smaller tyre will be fine.
You didn't include that in the video - blooper reel to come?
I think you're absolutely right as to the likely reasons they've made this change. Still I find them to be a little off-putting...borderline tacky. That said I am only going based on video & a few pics, so hopefully they'll look better in personIm lead to believe the covers serve 2 purposes. one to aid the efficency. where possible, the second to remove the warranty implications of diamond cut alloys, as its always a different option of who's responsibility under the warranty for when the lacquer starts to peel or the alloys start to go milky, due to water ingress or contamination

I can confirm that the going rate is around £150 per corner... Don't ask how I found that one out.
Still think a decent homologated alloy works better and less fuss. Wouldn't fancy fighting the damned trim when I inevitably get a puncture in mid winter.
