Interesting you mention tyres
Watched this the other day

Now I know it’s a different car and it all depends upon how you drive but there is some logic to it.
Heavier car and more torque than a comparable ICE so probably no surprise there but I guess something to bear in mind and perhaps not an obvious cost

well i am not talking about a little more use

i am talking 2 mm per 1000 km

that means i only can do 2000 km with my winter tires and have to replace them

Wheels too big, power too high and car too heavy.
And: maybe too little air in the tires?

Have you checked the depth of all tires yourself?

May be worth checking on the I7 forum. It’s been out longer and even heavier.
