    That said, as the tires of electric vehicles tend to wear faster due to their heavier weight…

    This gets repeated again and again, but hasn’t been my personal experience. I’d say my tyres are easily lasting twice as long than my previous diesel car.

      Mine are probably lasting about as long as previous non-EV cars, but I’m also terrible about getting them rotated when it’s not combined with an oil change.

      it happens with drivers of the heavy, overpowered EVs.

      We are now selling cars to idiots with more power and torque than a 70s F1 car.
