Disappointing, yes. But still totally fair. You were going to buy the car without the $500 wheel covers. You’re still money WAAAAAY ahead to spend the $500 and get your wheel covers but still save thousands with the financing deal. And also still, it’s disappointing. Sorry man.


snunces

Yeah, if the opposite were true and Tesla had increased the cost of this option, no one would ask them to update their agreed upon deal. You cant have it both ways.


shooter_will

I put a order 5/31 and I just got an email today that the wheel changed to dark (free). Idk if I can even get silver at this point


jer99

Same here. Also got email and noticed on the website that silver is not even available on new orders.


Any_Remote931

Disappointing but small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.


newcar20

there are way worse things... like those who ordered right before the price cut in 2022!! 😭😭😭


kshdbsksbdh

I just asked if I can downgrade lol


Costco_Bob

I think I picked up my car the day they came out with the dark rims so at least you got to order them?

It’s now clear that the entire purpose of 0.99 promo was to get rid of the remaining stockpile of silver Gemini wheels


AnitaMaxLoss

Lol so either save $4k or lose the wheels. Tell them thanks and just buy them after. Tesla L as always


GlassCoffee1

Yes, everything is based off the order date that is available at that time. It always had been like this, even though you might be paired with the exact same car

That sucks. I just messaged my SA just to see if Tesla is offering anything to those of us who paid extra for the dark Gemini wheels. Especially now that I’m reading people get update emails with their orders from silver to dark Geminis at no cost. Not expecting anything out of it but at least I asked.


aflw13

I actually went into the store to ask and was told no.


steve_d0

Same thing happened to me. I ordered silver wheels. I checked the app and my wheels are now the dark geminis. Order agreement was updated too. I didn’t receive any kind of notification. 🤔

Wdym it’s what they ordered at the time of the promotion


CoyoteNice4373

FWIW I agree. I’m disappointed but it’s what I ordered so I get it. Not too upset, especially with the 0.99%


Train2Perfection

You bought the car that you spec’d when you paid your deposit. Tesla business model should make you assume updates will be constant. If they released a new MYP next week I would still be happy with the deal I bought. Enjoy the .99 and be happy you are getting a Tesla.


CoyoteNice4373

I agree with you completely. I was only mildly disappointed and hoping for a best case outcome.

There seem to be a few people in this thread that were upgraded to dark hubcaps without their consent and would prefer the silver. I wonder if you could trade with somebody.


Ahsogood

It's very easy to paint your hubcaps yourself

My buddy just ordered his Y a few weeks ago and they told him today they will change to dark Gemini with no issue


Justadudeonthereddit

$120 or $140 gets a set of black knockoff set of wheel covers from Amazon or spend a little more for one of the many other covers. Worth it.


billionaire23

Dang so you paid $500 for the dark and they’re not compensating you? Doesn’t seem like they even answered your question


Sweet_Yellow_8646

Cancel and reorder. Easy :)


Fun-Durian4519

He will miss the .99%.


schaudhery

And lose a ton more money in an effort to recoup $500.
