that is a very good point if my m3p is anything to go off of....

I had a Landcruiser with large knobby tires and they were very noisy at highway speed. But good soundproofing could mitigate a lot of that I bet.This is kind of irrelevant but I wanted to ask how loud massive tires like the ones on the Cybertruck are at speed? How comfortable are they (jittery, bumpy, etc)? Thanks for any help!
Nope...Going to be a sticker shock with required tire size especially after no oil change costs.
I turn into a crotchety old man when paying for consumables. ?
Two watch words on Big tires. AFTER BEV torque which Tesla excells at, is your #1 tire consumer of tire tread:The big shock to the uninitiated will be how often you will likely have to replace the tires. The tires will be a standard size and you will be able to buy tires that are used by many other trucks out there. But due to the higher initial torque and how fun Teslas are, many Tesla owners wear their tires out between 20k and 30k miles. The truck tires have more tread depth and might last a little longer, but will still see reduced life if one has fun with their Tesla.
You will have a blast with Cybertruck. You are just the tire kicker, edge finder pilot (hair afire)kind of driver to dial-in a CT.I wonder if they could design tires to run at multiple tire pressures. Like at 40-50PSI, the smooth center of the tread pushes out and it's an efficient tire, then at lower pressures, maybe starting below 35 psi, the nobs on the edge start to grab a lot more. I know lower pressure tires have a lot more grip at lower pressure regardless. but this would help more with mud and sand without interfering with driving on pavement. Obviously this would only be interesting if you could quickly change tire pressure, but the Tesla does that right?
If your question is if the CT will have a Central Tyre Inflation (CTI) I doubt it at this point in time.I wonder if they could design tires to run at multiple tire pressures.

LOUD. Itāll be amplified by the usual Tesla quietness. I would expect extra attention to sound dampening in the wheel wells and possibly even active noise cancellation via the sound system inside the car.This is kind of irrelevant but I wanted to ask how loud massive tires like the ones on the Cybertruck are at speed?

You just described what every off-roader does. I run 35-37 street pressure in my Jeep, and about 12-13 for dirt/rocks/sand. The tire deflect, squats, and puts down a different profile and surface. I have an onboard compressor and a hose that goes to all four tires at once to air up when leaving the dirt. The CT has been announced as having an onboard air system.I wonder if they could design tires to run at multiple tire pressures.

I know it has an onboard compressor. Iāve heard conflicting comments about whether it would be able to inflate the tires automatically.The CT has been announced as having an onboard air system.
What do you mean by "automatically?" I doubt that it will have through-hub hands-off inflation. I expect we will have to hook up hoses like I do now. The Jeep goes into an inflation mode automatically that updates the pressure display every few seconds. You just watch it and hit the compressor switch when it's done. I think it might have some further automation or beeps you can set, the display is fine with me.I know it has an onboard compressor.

If it canāt do that automatically. It would be cool if you could set the computer to a tire inflate mode where it would give a tone when you hit a target pressure. So youād pull up the page on the console, set ā15 psiā, then go out and let air out of the tires until it pings.
