Tire pressure adjustable?

Adjustable tire pressure modification possible with Tesla hubs?

Seems like a good thing to have so you can have efficient tires but still be able to soften them before getting stuck in soft terrain.

Adjustable on the fly I meant to add.

Yikes sounds like a nightmare expense on the frontend and when it breaks.

All the Truck EVs are coming with a compressor/hose that you set the PSI target number and they automatically stop. Saves a ton of time. This is simple and cost-effective.

Very old tech. But “could be convenient” for hardcore off-roader.

Or you are going into a war zone with cybertruck.

From the article/above_link was this graphic. Seems like it would be overly complicated for the gain.

Coastal construction business can require a lot of daily road miles to reach a torn up road leading to a sometimes worse site. When not under contract then coastal storm recovery and cleanup work is much the same.

Will Tesla offer beadlock wheels as an option

Worked on these tires/wheels while I was in the marines. Pain in the ass. Doubt civilian mechanics will be willing to deal with them when if Tesla makes it.

A compact internal compressor, probably donut shaped, Bluetooth, thing-ama-jig could be designed. Who has a minute?

I hope not.
That would introduce a needless expense, complexity, weight, and longer-term maintenance head ache that would only benefit 0.001% of the customers. You may fall into that category, but the the vast majority of the folks wouldn't want or need this feature.

Remember, 99% of off-road capable vehicle NEVER leave the road.

It is what it is.

I thought Musk said the Truck would have airless Tires

The technology does exist but it's gonna be a while before it scales from racing bikes.
