ah man, becuase there's a battery in the car it makes the rubber wear out faster.

Not the battery specifically, but almost all Teslas are AWD and have separate motors for each axle. They wear tires like a FWD and RWD vehicle.

Gas AWD vehicles typically have a center differential that basically acts as a limited slip. You aren’t getting full engine power to both axles (it’s split between the two).
