I've seen a few threads mention this but none really discuss this in great detail.
All the wheels offered from Porsche have a closed design for minimum drag to improve the range. This is a choice Porsche has made and it seems logical. On the other hand the signature Mission E wheel is a very open design which goes against that entire concept?
I'm not an engineer so I assume there may be something with the Mission E design that somehow reduces drag even with an open concept? The larger brakes that are part of the option?
I guess going aftermarket is a personal decision and the ultimate outcome with potential reduced range is a risk that needs to be considered. I just find it a little confusing that Porsche still offers an open wheel design if that is in fact an issue.
Any thoughts?
