Tires Tesla or ADVAN
I replaced my aging Toyota Tacoma with a Cybertruck. When it finally came out, I was a bit disappointed with the Cybertruck’s range stats. I didn’t realistically expect it to have the full 500 miles promised in 2017, but when I finally bought mine a couple of months ago, my range expectations were admittedly low, but the actual range I got was impressive. Add to that the truck has the largest bed of the available full sized electric trucks, plus drive by wire, rear wheel steering, 48 volt architecture, etc., I am pretty happy. My biggest gripe was the lack of a spare tire.
Pros: impressive actual range
Cons: lack of a spare tire
F250 diesel guy here for 35 years in construction. I sold my last truck and moved to the model S. I was so impressed with the S that I bought a Foundation Cyberbeast. I use it like a truck maxing it out with no problems ever. I just finished a loaded 2500 km road trip this week. Range anxiety is a thing of the past. Believe the Tesla estimated range on the screen and charge when it says to. Simple and fun to drive. A sports-car truck. It does more than my diesel and powers my cottage for 5 days to boot. I did pick up a nail but that was easily fixed roadside with a plug and pistol grip inflator.
Pros: Simple and fun to drive
Mileage: 2500 km
Burned through my stock tires super fast. They lasted 16k miles. Got me some Michelin CrossClimate IIs and they still look almost brand new, even after 35k additional miles.
Pros: long lasting tires
Cons: stock tires wore quickly
Mileage: 35000 km
I've just fitted my third set of tyres. First two sets lasted 36k and 45k (km).
Pros: replaced tires
Mileage: 45000 km
Hope ICE repair shops can transition to EV repairs. We wont need regular maintenance but we will need a lot more tires (lol) and brake maintenance since we dont use them as much (rust avoidance).
Pros: more tires needed
Cons: brake rust avoidance
Still need tire shops. Everything else that is ICE specific will shut down.
I got cheap tires on my 2019 Tesla 3 performance and it now has 130k with one flat only, it's actually lighter that gives more range too.
Pros: more range, lighter
Mileage: 209215 km
2 sets of rubber on her for a total of 40,000km in 18 months.
Pros: fun driving experience
Cons: frequent tire replacement
Mileage: 40000 km
Tires on the Tesla are very expensive and wear out guicker because of weight of battery.
Cons: expensive, wear out quicker
This car can’t hold a REAR alignment and eats tires.
Cons: eats tires, poor alignment
