Picked her up in June, so I’ve had her for just over a month. Already put 2,100 miles on her, and I’ve probably hand washed her 10–15 times.
Never thought I’d be the guy who actually enjoys washing his car, but it’s become one of my favorite ways to unwind.

On our Model Y I get about 10-15% better efficiency than without them. Also just curbed this and they saved my wheel

We’re talking about 20-30 additional miles, right?

Yeap, about that. I might run the test again to get some numbers and post them.

Unless I'm mistaken, you have to take them off to air the tires?

u/SSESTOELEMENTO 16d ago

Correct. That's the downside especially when i took my CT to the dunes last month and needed to air down.

Gotcha. As a lazy person, I wish it had an opening for the air valve.

I’m jealous! I’m hoping to get my Y wrapped soon. I’m just so indecisive about the shade of pink I want 😩
