I’ve heard the tires are what really cost money because the car is so heavy it wears them out really fast.

Most modern ~~suburban tanks~~ SUVs and Crossovers have basically the same problem. They have to have shockingly large wheels and tires just to distribute that weight half-decently. I imagine the problem is worse with the weight of the battery.
