Along with Tesla’s latest Model 3 refresh for 2021, new wheels are coming, as seen by a reader tip to electrek. The new wheels were spotted on Model 3 vehicles loaded up on a car transport.
The new wheels look similar to Tesla’s 19’-inch Sport Wheels but they are different. Below you can see the Sport Wheels on the left—and the new 2021 Model 3 wheels on the right.
The new wheels see flatter spokes that meet the outer edge of the rim, which look to be more aerodynamic. They look like wheels caps but they’re not, according to a source speaking to electrek.

When people start receiving these deliveries, it’ll be interesting if an octovalve and heat pump are included, like Model Y, but that may be a stretch, for now.
