P8 wheels and tires

Does anyone know why Volvo lists 19 XC40 (non-EV) wheels as not suited for the P8 (the list here has all these "Excl. pure electric" disclaimers)? I know the Recharge P8 wheels are designed to be more aerodynamic for range — is that the only reason? I'm thinking of buying some take-offs from an...

This discussion started in another thread but should probably be broken out separately. Previous post: XC40 P8 deliveries delayed? Because the XC40 Recharge (and other BEVs) use regen for a considerable amount of their braking, they don't use their brakes as often. This leads to less brake...

From @TomDac. Not sure if this will answer your question, but Pixel headlights haven’t been turned on “in the USA”

Wonder if Volvo will be sending an OTA update to turn on the pixel headlight functionality now that it's been approved here in the US and should be legal in the next couple of days.
