To clarify, I used to do more miles (which is why I bought the car in the first place) but in the last year I’ve moved to working from home full-time. Still need the car for occasional errands and long trips, but obviously tyre wear is now not much of a problem.
However, given the massive amount of torque you can apply from standstill, if you drive like a hoon at all times then yes you can absolutely tear through them.
Probably also depends on a model. I’ve seen some Tesla cars can kill entire set of tires within 6 months. Not sure how people are driving them but that’s too short.
They can all do that because all their torque is available practically at standstill, but they also all come with “chill mode” that makes the car accelerate like a regular-torque-curve economy car.
If you don’t do enough miles, you shouldn’t be even close to changing tires. Goes to show that weight is not free of issues.

Never have driven Tesla, so I’ll take your word for it.
