Tesla keeps adding range to its most popular vehicles and, after the Model Y, it is now time for the Model 3 Long Range to get an estimate bump.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Tesla-increases-its-own-Model-3-Long-Range-estimate.913695.0.html
Come people, a story about fancy wheels, and you are too lame to even post a picture. In fact, this site is averse to product photos in general. Worst site in that regard.
A whole article on wheels not one picture of said wheels
And the article is written by a "Senior Tech Writer". What a joke.

It is kinda wild how tech is advancing. Usually bigger wheels/disks mean more noise, less range, less comfort. The only upside to bigger wheels - they look better. It is good that they've shrunk the gap in performance with the smaller wheels. But as the article states - it could be down to testing methodology. A wheel/disk design change can only improve the aerodynamics. Whereas a fatter tire improves the performance. Basically, all this performance increase can be just smoke and mirrors.
I'll take smaller and more efficient wheels every time. Not looking for how my vehicle/wheels look as a priority.
These huge wheels often have very small/short sidewalls, in addition, which increases wheel damage on cornering/curbs/harsh potholes.
