Electric vehicles are notoriously hard on tires, since the high torque motors don’t have as gradual of a buildup to momentum. That combined with the heavier load would absolutely kill treadlife, I imagine.
Well I’m not an EV expert, but I have worked in the tire industry for 7 years so that’s my lay person’s understanding of why electric vehicle owners tend to burn through tires.
Key takeaway is that this isn’t unique to Cybertrucks, as much as we’d all like to dunk on it. Another commenter pointed out Rivians have similar treadlife issues, and I know certainly other Tesla models do.

I’m sorry, what? All the ones I’ve driven by default work like this. You can usually change settings or sometimes just floor it though.
