Removed my covers, because my detailer noticed that they were scratching the hell out of the rims (and I do think it looks better without).

I have personally seen ZERO noticeable range difference. So far, I've added a tonneau, have the cross-bars installed, the weight of the Rivian Spare Tire and kit, and added mud flaps and seen negligible difference in range impact. Really hot days (using AC) and me driving (on average) at 80 MPH for ~90 miles of highway impacts range more than anything else :)
That's more concerning to me than looks. Is that because of design flaw? I don't mind keeping them on, but not if they would ruin the rims. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Definitely having the same issue. Wheel covers snap in but rub off paint along edges.
