One of my colleagues has a Tesla 3

Quick but looks wise it’s not to my tastes

He has put up with it but decided today to see if there was anything that could be improved

Wheels- damn awful.

Apparently the trims give you 10 miles extra on a full charge. I’d happily forfeit those 10 miles!!!

The covers look terrible IMO, but all the manufacturers are competing on range at the moment so every little counts. Like you and your friend, I'd go without the extra 10 miles!

I wonder if there are any companies making exterior mods for Teslas? There is a lot to like about them, but in terms of exterior styling they are about as bland as it gets.

These guys do a lot of stuff for them, not exactly subtle though some of it!

@bigwinn, next easiest mod he can do is sorting the god awful plate holders the car comes with, they come with two! US and UK one over the top... :cry:
