A Tesla Model S Plaid owner says she is replacing tires every twenty thousand miles. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. About 2,300 dollars a set.

Why? The Plaid is heavy, it launches with instant torque, and it rides on wide sticky tires built for zero to sixty in under two seconds. Same reasons it is fun to drive are the same reasons your tread disappears.

Commenters were not feeling bad for her. Any car this fast burns tires no matter what it runs on. And a gas car this quick still needs oil changes on top of similar tire costs.

Some Model 3 and Model Y owners say they get thirty to forty thousand miles by driving smoother and watching tire pressure.

So EVs do not kill maintenance costs, they just move them.
