Is it EVs that are heavy on tyre wear, or Teslas specifically? I've not heard issues from the Outlander, Zoe, Prius and Leaf drivers I know, and we talk EVs reg

  I think when you have more torque under your control, you're more tempted to use it, and even a tiny amount of tyre skidding makes a lot of dust. Also, EV's are heavier so will break up the road surface much faster - various studies have shown doubling the weight on a wheel far more than doubles road wear.

  There's a lot of data about specifically Tesla being hard on tires, with owners recommending regular alignment to preserve. Doesn't matter if it's a diesel 18 wheeler or an ev though, tire wear is a v major contributor to air pollution, my primary point which was downvoted. I wonder if some sort of air ground effects might alleviate this, like a hovercraft when safe to apply?
