Anyone else notice that:

Forged uni-directional split five-spoke wheels: 16” front, 17” rear

Is still listed as standard equipment in the US Spec sheet? I wonder if the wheel swap was a last minute substitution?

From the Roadster Sport spec sheet:

288 bhp redline @ 14,000 rpm

I don't like the way they wrote that. It makes it look like it makes 288 bhp at the 14,000 rpm redline.
It probably makes 288 bhp at more like 8,000 RPMs
I think they should have done more to separate max HP from redline.
Like "288 bhp @ 8,000 RPM with 14,000 RPM redilne."

Since updated to read:

Split five-spoke wheels: 16” front, 17” rear

 

[TEG]

Forged uni-directional split five-spoke wheels

Note, the original wheels are/were 7 spoke, so I think they tried to update, but accidentally had left in "uni-directional" and "forged".

Ahhh. Good catch.
