I wonder if CTIS (central tire inflation system) will be an option? The Humvee uses it and it really helps with off-road performance. The Cybertruck will already have compressors for the suspension so it makes a lot of sense. I could only see Tesla improving on the design as well, maybe automatic adjustment between different road conditions???

Hey, I think this is a great idea. You already pointed out that we already Air suspension/compressor. So I think the cost will be minimal to implement. I had CTIS on my APC during my Army days and it really helped in soft ground. I also think it can serve Additional purposes.
1.Making the truck more efficient on the road by keeping the tires inflated at the right pressure.
2. Off roading
3. Safety- slow leak or puncture allowing your truck to limp to safety.

This is one feature I hope Elon implements.

I am not sure the cost, complexity is worth it for the majority of people, but could see it as an option...

It's being worked on for the semi, I imagine the CT will have something to at least allow you to refill tires from the air compressor.
