Joe Morgan said it should be a regular thing. Next one in June.

I caught a ride wth IIRC J. T. Jesse Fittpaldi said that if they want to offer wheel and tire options, the wheel and the tire must be certified together. So I guess BMW i3 tires on Model A rims comes after the warranty expires.

They went with something from the MEIV parts bin, but hope to cut [redacted] pounds of unsprung weight in the future. 3D printed A-arms are off the table. Too fragile.
