It feels like there have been past points in this thread to be optimistic only for ESE to go dark after that. Hope I'm wrong this time.....after 3 years.

Don't tell me about "the car only weighs..." so this wheel is strong enough.
Yes, but I see "the car only weighs" and then they divide by four which is WRONG. Wheels need to support the MAX GAWR. This is often different between front and rear axles. If you rotate tires front to back the wheels need to be rated for the heavier of the two axles. Next time you see a P100D open the door and look at the GAWR front vs back. After you find the MAX GAWR you can use that number simply, as you stated.Except, again, that’s how it works. The numbers being quoted are the static load rating for the wheels because that’s an easy number to calculate. The dynamic loads being applied during the qual test are significantly higher.
There are several on the market now - still priced too high, once they get to $2K per wheel I am in.We can close this topic now. Maybe start a new one when someone has miles on carbon wheels for the model S.
Unplugged Performance UP-03 Carbon Fiber Wheels for Tesla Vehicles
Late the conversation and too lazy to read up on this.... how much weight savings per wheel over the arachnid wheel? I've been impressed with the efficiency improvement going from turbine to arachnid.... really remarkable how much rotational inertia is a factor in range.Got the Load capacity on those wheels - amazed how fast they came back to me after hours.
"Our wheels are usually engineered per application but In that specific style, the engineered load specs are 1587 lbs or 720 kg"
6348 lbs or plenty for my 4700 lb Tesla.

Oh man, this is skitown's pet peeve .... like when I say, "hey check out that thread where the guy talks about the Tesla with the thingy"By all means...
Agreed. Reminds me of the old, "Not to derail this thread, but <insert derailing here>" trope. You're the master!Oh man, this is skitown's pet peeve .... like when I say, "hey check out that thread where the guy talks about the Tesla with the thingy"
Still, I expect full estimation of weight savings from you carbon fiber lovers over arachnid wheel.... chop chop.... if I have to lift my hand to click and read, all is lost with my way of life.
Strong point. The carbon fiber side is fascinating and not to derail this thread, but do you guys think Elon's eyes look puffy in recent photographs? I wonder what his Vit. D levels are currently,Agreed. Reminds me of the old, "Not to derail this thread, but <insert derailing here>" trope. You're the master!
