It's only common because Tesla is popular. Other brands put reasonable tires on.

Anecdotally, I own a Kia EV6, and had to get new tires within two years, under 20k miles.

I leave it in eco mode, so acceleration is nerfed, too.

We’ll see how long the new set of Michelin Defenders last.

I have a model 3 and still running my original set of summer and set of winter tires. 6+ years. I just don't put pedal to metal every time I accelerate.

The tires that came on my Kia EV9 are bad in several dimensions (Kumho Crugen HP71) -- poor longevity, poor winter performance. People seem to get 15-20,000 miles out of them. (I replaced them with CrossClimate2s.)
