It's worse than that. EVs attract nails like nobody's business. It's a combination of the weight, torque, and rolling resistance optimizations, I think. This holds true for most EVs. I lost a tire completely at less than 250 miles. I've had ten flats in EVs in ten years of driving them, most non-repairable.

I went to rotate the tires a few weeks ago and the tire technician found that the tires were worn very evenly across the tires and did not necessitate rotation. Checking with the tire gauge, the tire still has about half the _usable_ tread depth left. I've owned the vehicle for a year and a half, so I expect the tires to last 90,000 to 100,000 KM. These are the Michelins.
