Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

I'm sorry, what? All the ones I've driven by default work like this. You can usually change settings or sometimes just floor it though.
Well I'm not an EV expert, but I have worked in the tire industry for 7 years so that's my lay person's understanding of why electric vehicle owners tend to burn through tires.
Key takeaway is that this isn't unique to Cybertrucks, as much as we'd all like to dunk on it. Another commenter pointed out Rivians have similar treadlife issues, and I know certainly other Tesla models do.
