Remove and install wheel nut covers
If Model X is equipped with wheel nut covers, you must remove them to access the wheel nuts.
To remove a wheel nut cover:
- Insert the rounded portion of the lug nut cover tool, if applicable (found in the glove box of some vehicles or you can use a small Allen wrench), into the hole below the Tesla T.
Anm: The wheel nut cover tool can also be purchased at an auto parts store or ordered online.
- Maneuver the tool so that it is fully inserted into the hole in the wheel nut cover.
- Turn the tool so that the rounded part touches the center of the wheel nut cover.
- Pull the tool firmly away from the wheel until the wheel nut cover comes off.
Install the wheel nut cover:
- Align the wheel nut cover in place.
- Press the wheel nut cover firmly until it snaps into place.
Caution: Before driving, make sure the wheel nut cover is securely fastened to prevent it from falling off.
