Hub Cap for Tesla Model 3: Forged Aluminium
This hub cap for the Tesla Model 3 is specified around forged aluminium, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is a specification nobody had written down, or premature wear on the first batch. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Fitment notes
Keep the old part until the new one is on the bench. Comparing them side by side settles questions a photograph never will.

Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the TUV-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
