EVs are heavier but it may not be that dramatic, M3: ~3500-3800lbs, Honda Civic: ~3000lbs The torque is real, though, but I think this is what the earlier commenter was getting at regarding bad choices made by Tesla: there is no reason "chill mode" isn't the default, which makes a Tesla drive more like an ICE vehicle. Most other EVs I've driven don't go full torque by default, so seem to have made a better choice there. In personal experience, I went about ~45k miles on 4 new tires in my Model S before I replaced them. A bit sooner than I would have in my Prius but not much. I also don't take off from a green light as if I were in a drag race, which probably helps.
