Are you talking about the Tesla covers not being designed to be removed or the R1T ones?This is the same as Tesla aero covers. They vibrate at speed. Inevitable. Wheel sold to use cover. Removing cover is not how OE designed it. Therefore, it’s normal and within spec.
I removed aero covers in Model Y at 18 miles. Still faint marks but others in TMC have it worse for those who left them on. Recommended to use PPF or painters tape where they mount for temporary use for long trips.
If you are talking R1T, I beg to differ, otherwise they wouldn't be so easily removable and held by clips. They are clearly designed to be removed and reinstalled without tools, by hand, and at will.
Otherwise, RIVIAN would have designed the wheel itself to be aero. All the covers do is give you the option to choose when you want the aero vs not.
