    But it can’t afford to run less efficient tires because it has too much air resistance and the range would suffer. There’s a reason why other Teslas have no flat panels or straight lines.

    It’s a 100,000 vehicle with plastic hubcaps.

      I don’t disagree with that at all, it’s a dumb vehicle no matter how you slice it and this debacle only furthers the proof. If it needs low rolling resistance, highway tires, then it’s just a street queen for elon fanboys.

        Most SUVs and Trucks now are pavement princesses. I respect the hell out of people who buy minivans now.
