Photo: Tesla Cybertruck Aero Cover Issue Explained - Revising Original Launch Edition Wheel Covers for Goodyears Elon Musk insisted that the Cybertruck look like nothing else on the road, giving it unpainted stainless steel body panels, and a silhouette that looks like it was penned by one of his 12 children in their infancy. So when the Cybertruck’s aerodynamically optimized wheel covers with tendrils that extend beyond the wheel itself and onto the flexible rubber tire sidewall started cannibalizing said sidewall, Tesla was quick to respond. And by that I mean they just stopped producing and shipping those wheel covers and just let the trucks reach customers with no wheel covers at all. Eventually it released an updated design that didn’t carve grooves into the tire sidewalls, but again, how the hell did engineers not identify that problem during the truck’s several-year development?
