It seems to go through tires an awful lot.

...

That’s what stood out to me.

Are highway miles tougher on tires?

May be from scratching off/burning rubber. These electric motors have awesome 0 to 60 times. Front wheel drive sucks for laying rubber so I know I would be laying down some rubber snakes if I had a Tesla.

Tesla uses degenerative braking, meaning the tire is under torque when accelerating and under torque when coasting or braking.
