I'm still waiting for evidence of range extension. When will you share that data?

Distance is time, no? More distance, less charging. But we need to be honest with ourselves about true numbers.

Click on the page to see the details. That's the price for one section of one wheel. A complete set would be 20 of those $20 parts.

I like 'em...just got my VIN, so I ordered a set of these. Now I'm wondering which will arrive first...these or my car.
The web site says shipping on these is free, but somehow I got charged for shipping. At least it's only $5.33...

If you clicked on the product page and looked at the choices you'd see that $19.95 refers to buying a single replacement cover.

It could be a long wait. The tire choice probably far outweighs any change in wheel aero and it may be an improvement so small that it can’t be reproduced precisely. If I were a manufacturer I wouldn’t want the liability of stating a firm number.
People have paid good money for things which DECREASE range. I think if someone has the money, likes the way the inserts look, and is happy with any incremental improvement in aero then they should buy them.

Is there any youtube video or anything that shows the gain? A one sentence from the seller saying it has a 10-20 gain but no more information doesn't give me confidence that this has been tested

Right - and I'm pretty sure they said "up to 10-20" which is another level of murkiness. Elsewhere in the thread they say there are too many factors at play to nail down something more precise. As another person said, if you like the look go for it and maybe you'll get a few extra miles.
