That's a whole lot of assumptions based on what?

I could come up with a list of plausible sounding reasons why regenerative braking leads to less tire wear. Unless you have some actual measurements, I wouldn't trust either one.

I'm reading it as referring to a setting where the car will brake some amount (instead of coasting) if you completely let go of the pedals, and as being a claim that the commenter can't maintain speed but gets stuck in a cycle of accelerating and then letting the car brake.

I use one peddle driving all the time and manage to keep a steady speed as I'm doing it. Why would you be constantly taking your foot off the accelerator unless you need to slow down?

I'll also throw another anecdote in for this thread, 500hp EV, 50k miles on the tyres.

I've never driven an EV, only a hybrid a few times, but I thought for all cars with aggressive regenerative brake settings, you just kept the accelerator pedal slightly depressed to coast.
