Wait what?
So we can’t say pros and cons if any product now?
fricking cult.

The article I saw says due to weight EV tires should wear about 20% faster
This is the explanation most often cited. EVs are substantially heavier than ICE cars.

It's a good thing tires are completely green.

The cars aren't They're marginally heavier. a Model 3 is about the same weight as a BMW 3 series.
The trucks are a different a story.

Rubber...made possible by oil/petro. And EVs are using them at an alarming rate.
What a disaster.
And now you're getting full sized electrics. What kind of a-hole drives an EV Hummer?

Depends on the battery.
Long range model 3s are 500 pounds heavier than standard range.
Industrywide, EVs (sedans) on average are 30% heavier than ICE cars.

On average compared to comparable cars in its class i agree. A lot of camrys and corollas in that. But i just think it's funny we never see anyone complain about a 3 series eating up tires the way a model 3 would and they weigh basically the same thing.

Tire manufacturers will sort this out with testing of different rubber compounds and sound suppression.
Why aren’t tires filled with foam anyway? Air seems like a very fragile and antiquated method of filling tires.

You wouldn't want to ride in that vehicle.
Foam tires are great for forklifts and tractors. Thats about it.

SUVs and trucks weigh 1000-2000lbs more than my car does. Weird that I’ve never heard anyone crying about that weight discrepancy.

It basically makes the tires solid. You'd end up in the ditch in short order bouncing your way down any road in Louisiana.

The weight kills the tires. His Pacifica every 3..4 years but that tesla x eats them.
Pacifica. 4883
X. 5248
The one thing I hate almost as much as a pedophile is a liar
You want his address to discuss the particulars?
ETA
6000 lb X
But I do like how you used the high end weight of a Pacifica ( which i see ranging from4200 to 4800 but the low end weight of an X..5100 to 5500 (but with plenty of content advising that it's north of 6000 for tax credits

Maybe it has to do with weight distribution and/or how the car is driven. I'm not knowledgeable as to why.
We are considering getting an EV as a second car, mainly for about town usage, and this issue has come up often when doing my research. Generally, the explanations I've seen say the weight of the vehicles increase tire wear.

Data i'm seeing is that the wear is slightly elevated (~5%) over similarly weight vehicles. For example Model 3 vs 3 series or C class and obviously higher for similar vehicle class but lower weight models. That tells me we still have 5% thats not accounted for by weight. That seems to be the torque wear factor, which is the wrong way to look at it because it's actually just sidewall deterioration thats impacting the load on the tread.

They're solid around town cars. I didn't think much of it when my wife wanted a Model 3. We'll save enough from fuel, oil changes and brake jobs to offset a little extra tire wear. Also, i can't be holier than thou on this, i can't get 5k miles out of a set of GTR tires.

That tax credit is for GVWR not curb weight. They're different.

This is good to know, I've been on the fence as to whether we should do this.
Does it cost more to insure your Tesla comparatively to your other vehicles?
