Q: What is a knurled barrel and why does the UP-03 have one?

The knurled barrel is a textured band machined into the rim where the tire seats. It helps stop the tire from slipping on the wheel under the instant torque and repeated hard braking of a heavy EV. On a Model X making big power, that grip keeps the tire and wheel indexed together, which protects balance and guards against gradual pressure loss.
