Tesla Confirms New Roadster Will Be Almost Nutless

Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed the smallest little detail about the new Roadster: it will have race car-like one-nut wheels.

We are kind of starving for information when it comes to Tesla’s new Roadster.

The electric supercar is supposed to come deliver the “ultimate smackdown” to gasoline-powered cars by outperforming all other supercars and becoming the new ‘halo’ car when it comes to performance.

So like Porsche has been doing for years with their centre lock wheels?

If you look at a Porsche or Lamborghini with these same type of wheels the is multi-sided, far more than the Tesla Roadster. This spreads out the load when the nut is torqued to spec. I am a bit surprised they are going with a 5 sided nut.

It's a hex nut, 6 sides.
