I was just searching and genuinely couldn’t find it anymore. I distinctly remember watching an engineering explained video on it, too, but couldn’t find it.

The thing is: heavier cars wear tires down more. This also applies to large SUVs and Pickups. The issue is that people only care about it when it’s due to it being an EV.

If I recall they didn’t actually test the ev. They tested a heavier vehicle and just assumed that would be the ev since evs are heavier.

One sec, ill look for it

Pick up trucks are the same weight or more than most evs sold today. The tire wear discussion was on weight of vehicles, not evs. Other sites reported on it and grossly overestimated the average weight of an ev.

It wasn’t way faster. It was marginally faster. This study was falsely reported on a number of times and that’s what people remember.

No, wasn’t upset or anything, just didn’t get the joke and didn’t know what I was missing

What? Are you making a joke?
