Q: Why choose forged wheels over cast for a heavy EV like the X?
Forged aluminum packs the grain structure tighter than casting, so the wheel carries the Model X’s mass and instant torque at a lower weight and with more impact resistance. Less unsprung weight helps the suspension follow the road, which supports both ride and braking response. On a two-and-a-half-ton EV, that strength-to-weight advantage is exactly where forging earns its place.
