Interesting feature from some Youtubers. youtu.be/O8lrjyxHQ8wI might look into this next time I'm due for tyres as steel wheels shouldn't cost that much and worth a try for the potential gain. Any thoughts?

Some of the Youtube comments raise valid concerns about their testing methodology.
Those covers look a little too quirky for my liking, I'd consider more ordinary looking covers and blocking out the gaps instead. I thought about doing that with the car's stock wheels using black corflute between the spokes but don't need the extra range yet.

Totally agree, many issues with methodology. At the minimum I would have used Leaf Spy to monitor energy usage in real time while cruising at a constant speed on the freeway. I don't mind the appearance of it as the Leaf already stands out, might as well go the whole hog I'm not too sure about the whole brakes heating up situation as I don't know how much brake pad use there would be on a day to day basis to have a detrimental effect on brake performance.

The Tesla Model 3 with "standard" wheels have Aero covers, although they are ventilated. Some think they look cool, plenty hate them.
