I have been doing some calculations again, this time with hashtag#tesla hashtag#cybercab hashtag#robotaxi wheel and tire sizes. Do they make any sense efficiency side as Tesla have been claiming or is there other reasons to have them in the vehicle and what are possible problems with the selected setup?.

If interested in efficiency and wheels and tires I recommend to take a look.

PS Cybercab will be very efficient beast!



You should take a look both of those studies to understand better what is happening in wheels and tires. Tyre modelling for rolling resistance master`s thesis from Chalmers university written by Bharat Mohan Redrouthu https://lnkd.in/d2E_Qy5a
