    1) Chunky all-terrain tread (the main culprit) Those big blocks on the 20" Pirelli Scorpion AT: Bend, twist, and “squirm” every rotation Trap and release air Generate heat (lost energy) 👉 This is the largest contributor to rolling resistance in your comparison. It’s why EV range drops so...
  2. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    If you look at the R1 inventory it does. Max pack with 22s is 374 miles of range, 20 ATs shows 325.
  3. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    Taller sidewalls (20-inch wheel setup) → More flex, more deformation → More energy loss → Higher rolling resistance (generally) Shorter sidewalls (22-inch wheel setup) → Less flex → Less energy loss → Lower rolling resistance (in isolation)
  4. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    It's mostly the rolling resistance of the taller sidewall the flex of the sidewall creates higher resistance and thus needs more energy to over come that resistance.
  5. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    I seem to be going the other direction to everyone else. I had an OG R1T 2022 w/20". I now have a 2025 R1T G2 w/22". Pros 22": 1. Better range = Less charging cost and less charge time (way better to me #1 reason) 2. Quite 3. Better dry road traction 3. For me the sport look Pros 20": 1...
  6. BMW and Mercedes pulling back on Level 3 autonomy

    I think cameras plus LiDAR is the best option, and I would like L4. Don't get me wrong I love both companies (Tesla + Rivian) own 1 of each. Rivian is making leaps forward catching up to Tesla in the assisted driving realm. Do you think the LiDAR would help the Tesla vision? I do, it still...
