A current report broke out that the most current Cybertrucks were delivered without the aerodynamic wheel covers, and now we understand why. Their unconventional angular style triggers extreme wear and tear on the tires.
Although the tires have a recess that accommodates the 7 pointy angles of the covers, they rub versus the side wall of the tire. This occurs when the tire enters contact with the roadway, warps, and touches the cover.
These covers enhance aerodynamic effectiveness by as much as 5– 10%. The disc brakes still require some cooling, so there’s a little space in between the covers and the tires so air can go in and cool the discs.
Throughout the preliminary screening, Tesla discovered the space to be too huge, and in some cases the covers would fly off the wheels at high speed. By narrowing the space, the tire comes into close contact with the cover, resulting in significant wear and tear.
Tesla has actually acknowledged the concern, and it’s going to revamp the wheel covers. In the meantime, there are 2 workarounds. The very first one is rather apparent: simply eliminate the wheel covers to prevent undesirable damage to the tires. The 2nd one is less specific to work however far easier: pump up the tires a bit more so that the side wall does not warp as much when it enters contact with the roadway.
