What kind of backhanded EV misinformation bullshit is this?

Electric, gas, petrol, hydrogen, diesel, cooking oil or vodka; what you put in your car to make it go makes no difference to the tires or the wear.

It does. EVs are much heavier due to battery weight and have more power and torque. Which all results in more tire wear.

2023 top 5 vehicles sold in USA and weight:

1 - Ford F-150 4069-5697lbs

2 - Chevrolet Silverado 4400-6947lbs

3 - Ram pickup 4765-6440lbs

4 - Toyota RAV4 3370lbs

5 - Tesla Model Y 4416lbs

Looks like the only electric on the list is below the average weight. We don’t have these conversations about the trucks.

Wow, that's an impressive list of amateur tanks. Do they also sell real cars in the US? (Rhetorical question)
