The thread type of the 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nuts is M14x1.5, and the base type is tapered. Install and remove the 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nuts with a 21mm socket. If you drive other Tesla models, you can find this data in the owner’s manual or on specialized automotive websites. If you need to replace the aftermarket 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nuts, please ensure they have the same data.
What Is the Thread Size of 2023 Tesla Model 3 Lug Nuts?
Many metric lug nuts use “M” at the beginning of the lug nut name to indicate that metric measurements are used; e.g., 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nuts have thread data of M14x1.5. In addition to metric measurements, metric lug nuts also use the distance between the threads instead of the pitch used in American measurements, i.e., the number of threads per inch. Metric lug nuts of M14x1.5 would have a diameter of 14 mm. Determine the distance between threads by looking at the second number. For example, if the metric lug nuts are M14x1.5, the thread pitch is 1.5 mm.
What Can You Get from Aftermarket Lug Nuts?
As the Tesla Model 3 continues to be updated, aftermarket parts continue appearing in the marketplace to fit it. Similarly, 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nuts are also a common tuning part. Most OEM manufacturers set the thread of 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nuts to M14x1.5, and the seat type is mainly tapered and spherical. The manufacturer considers that the 2023 Tesla Model 3 wheels seat is also tapered, and most of the aftermarket wheels seat is also tapered so that it can fit most of the aftermarket wheels.
Aluminum, steel, and titanium alloys are common metals used to make 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nuts, and they have their advantages and disadvantages. The manufacturer uses chrome-plated steel for most of its stock lug nuts, which reduces costs for mass production and has better mechanical properties than steel alloys. In contrast, the chrome-plated surface is effective against rust, but chrome is prone to hydrogen embrittlement and is not durable. 2023 Tesla Model 3 customers driving in areas with high air moisture may find these stock lug nuts rusting, only for vehicles with longer service life.
The aluminum alloy 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nuts are characterized by their lightweight, with the same volume of aluminum alloy weighing less than steel alloy. Lightweight features are favored by many customers who want to achieve the street style in daily driving. 7075-T6 aluminum alloy has good performance, and the forging will improve aluminum alloy performance. The hard anodized aluminum surface forms a thick protective film of aluminum oxide, making the aluminum alloy 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nuts less prone to rusting and allowing for more color customization on the surface.
Lightweight and high-performance characterize titanium alloy 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nuts. Titanium alloy has the weight of aluminum alloy and the strength of steel alloy. The forged titanium alloy forms a dense structure after a complex process, with a tensile strength of 1110MPa. Each titanium alloy 2023 Tesla Model 3 lug nut weighs only 34g, reducing the waste of rotating mass during vehicle driving. Lighter unsprung weight for the Tesla Model 3 means a more flexible handling feeling.
