Q: Do forged wheels this strong cost me range?

No, and that’s the headline. We took three identical Cybertruck Dual Motor Long Range trucks to the High Desert of Southern California and ran a controlled out-and-back from Victorville to Yermo, changing only the wheel. The UP-RW delivered efficiency on par with Tesla’s Core Wheel and slightly better than the Cyberwheel. Its flat-face aerodynamic profile keeps airflow attached, so you get forged strength without a range penalty.
