Tesla Semi May Get An Automatic Tire Inflation System: Patent

According to a recent article published by Electrek, Tesla was just approved for a new patent that applies to an Automatic Tire Inflation System (ATIS) that appears to be for the future fully electric Tesla Semi. Finally, an article about a good form of inflation.

Terrible dad jokes aside, the ATIS will allow a vehicle's tire pressure to adjust in real-time. In 2018, we provided a story about a similar Tesla patent (linked below), though the company didn't specifically link it to the Tesla Semi or any other vehicle in its lineup. However, as Electrek points out, the initial patent came out around the time the Semi was revealed, and its inventor, John Furtado, is closely linked to the Tesla Semi program.
