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.
