Also makes sense due to the instant torque , my Uncle moves cars at an auction and he said you can get those Teslas up to a 100 PDQ.

In all seriousness, does the greater weight of an EV than for a similar size gas guzzler, result in faster tire wear? Does the weight of an EV require a different tire compound? That is the primary problem and why the excessive micro tire dust. Cyclist is in some serious denial or just hasn't received the update progrmming to respond. The more he is wrong, the more he outbursts... you can tell when you are getting close.

If you bought a new Long range Model Y in the summer of 2022 @ 70K it is now worth only 31K. Depreciation is close to 50% in the first year. But hey you don't pay any road tax.

There is a reason they have to have special tires. Model 3 long range weighs 4,048lbs Honda Civic weighs 2900lbs
1,100 pounds more.

Some do, some don't. At the bottom of your link are pointers to their standard families of tires, incidentally -- nothing special about them.
The Nissan Leaf, for instance, uses regular passenger car tires. It weighs 3500lbs.

So if I got 3 Big Candies in my Civic am I creating excessive toxic tire dust?

Sorry to be a stickler, but, no, most things haven't.
Moving back to the topic at hand: Are EVs dead yet? How long will we have to wait?
In related news, my GF's son bought a hybrid on Thursday.
It wasn't dead, either.

Ev's make up only 14% of new car sales. So 86 percent are smart enough to know they aren't worth the price.

Except for CaptJ everyone pushing EVs don’t even have one. Maybe some others own one that I’m not aware of but how can someone endorse something that they have never owned unless they are just pushing the party line?

Cyclist just handed your ass to you, best to stop with all the BS. EVs are the future no matter what you say. Not really. Efficiency isn’t only tied to one thing either. Energy efficiency is one thing. economic efficiency is another, time efficiency yet another. There are many useful measures of efficiency and some lead in one and others lead in different areas. The choice between ICE or EV should be a matter of personal preference, as not all people value the same things in the same ways. My time is worth one amount to me and yours may be worth something vastly different to you. Same goes for other considerations.
