these are so old.
not easily obtained, but around for over a decade.
Why do these need to be “for electric vehicles”? I mean I’m the ev sub so clearly I like evs, but couldn’t you use these on any vehicle?
I heard of these few years ago but IIRC they were quite noisy

Done in collaboration with GM, and being tested on a fleet of Bolts: https://www.gm.com/our-stories/technology/gm-takes-the-air-out-of-tires.html
Is it going to include some proprietary technology that prevents it from working on Teslas…
How does this work with rocks and snow?
What’s the solution to not get it compacted with stuff? Or just warm climates?
Its a solution for a problem we don’t have. If you’re in an area where you can charge a car you don’t have to try hard to find a place to air up tires.
OT: i will never accept that it is OK to mismatch lugnuts and spokes in a cast wheel like this. i don’t care if it is structurally fine, it will always look cheap and ugly.
