You all dont know real EV tires are really expensive, just google about EV tires.
Due to high torque and requirements to meet (long range/better efficient/ silent running) actual EV tires are made with more features to meet = more $$$
If you cheapskate and change normal tires it wont last long (shorter tread life).

Not only that, they are also made to be very silent. There's a silence foam block inside it, like Tesla tyre.

Betul maintenance is cheap, but what happen if faulty it with the battery?

Tukar battery. Either whole, or send for repair (replace individual faulty battery).

That amount can get me around 13 tires, and my total tire changes for these 8 years haven't even reached half of that. 😄

WTF... which car? Hot wheels? My normal SUV tyre cost about 600-700 per piece.

Take SUV compare with about same price range.

Tesla Model Y weight is 2,003kg.
Toyota fortuner weight is 2,160 kg
Volvo X40 weight is 1,733 kg

It's not just weight rating, EV tyre need to withstand the brutal acceleration without shredding and it has to do that while being extremely quiet.

If you put normal tyre in EV, you will definitely hear the loud roar.

Car is not my forte.

U mean the car only move if pedal is pressed? If pedal released immediate stop? Like bumper car?

One pedal driving mode means u rarely need to press the brake. Yes like bumper car, it won't immediately stop when you release the pedal but it will slow down rapidly.
