Man this EVs are heavier and use more tyres bullshit comes up ALL the time. Although they might be a little heavier compared to a similar shaped car, it’s often not true as all and the amount of petrol suvs that are significantly heavier i never read they use tyres up as a reason not to get them…
Needing to replace tires sooner on my Model 3 is my lived experience. The factory tires wore out after 35,000 mi, when previously I had been getting new tires every 60,000 mi.
I have never owned an SUV - I was comparing my tire longevity to my previous sedan, which admittedly was a compact.

I’ve heard it’s less about the weight than the torque.
