Picture of the Sapphire flare attached to the rear door:

It's VERY subtle, only about an inch. Here is the underside of the Sapphire frunk again:

Yes, I've been looking for a vendor that can make something similar to the Sapphire flares. The flares should ideally not require any punch outs in the sheet metal for attachment. I need the flares first before I can determine how wide I can go with wheels and tires.

This was my thinking as well ... the Air is already low enough so I didn't want to drop it anymore ... hence the fender flare approach. That's what Lucid did on the Sapphire to close up the gap and to allow for wider wheels and tires. The Sapphire fender flares make the car look lower when in...

Good observation .... and the plot thickens!

Very interesting ... I guess those were installed for cars with DDP? Front Rear

Those aren't plugs on the Sapphire. They moved the proximity sensor from the body panel outward and into the fender flare. Most aftermarket flares however are direct "tape-ons" utilizing a foam adhesive tape with a notch so the sensor doesn't need to be removed. The Forza model was accurate...

This might be a little too low for a daily driver though ...

The body panels appear to be the same between the Air and the Sapphire except for modifications needed to attach the Sapphire flares. It also depends on wheel offsets and widths. After crunching the wheel specs, I believe Sapphire spec wheels and tires will work on the the standard Air, BUT...

I'm also a fan. I'm still researching for wider wheels and tires knowing my range will decrease a bit. I did the same thing with my past ICE cars.

Of course I agree the design was optimized from the factory, however I'm most interested in reducing the tire to fender gap which is purely cosmetic and subjective of course. They are just typically known as aero kits or body kits in the automotive world.

I’ve been investigating fender flare kits for the Air to reduce the gap between the tire and the fender without having to lower the car. This is similar to what was done by the factory for the Sapphire. As we all know, lowering the car an inch will not do much in terms of performance (lowering...

Hello Houston owners ... I am interested in a fender flare kit for the Air to close up the gap between the tire and the fender without having to lower the car. I began investigating aftermarket vendors and found a very reputable one willing to create the kit. As a matter of fact, they are also...

Interesting perspective.

BEV adoption rate varies state by state. California appears to be switching over faster .... likely due to charging infrastructure and climate which is more BEV friendly...

It looks like Tidal's solution to the problem is to get rid of the 360 Reality audio format: https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/25876825185425-Upcoming-Changes-to-Audio-Formats

I assume the cameras are also needed for self parking and sentry mode (if it becomes available)?

oh ... I get it now ... that's fully loaded.👍
