Most of these post along with the article are filled with misrepresentations. Many EV's including the model 3 I own weigh just under 4,000 lbs. Very close to most vehicles on the road today. Under many, over some. Tire cost for my Tesla average around $1000 for a set of four, fairly close to tires for comparable vehicles with same performance. You certainly don't change tires like ICE vehicles charge oil. Totally misleading.
Very happy with our Tesla. Love how it drives and performs. Enjoy the low cost of charging and lack of maintenance. Have taken long multiple state road trips without a hitch. A total pleasure. To each their own but please, tell the truth.
