I live in Florida and I’m in my third Tesla now. I have not seen unusually fast wear on the tires, but I don’t drive particularly aggressively, and I pay very close attention to tire maintenance. The vehicle has a TPMS and I am meticulous about keeping the tire pressure at the manufacturers recommendation. I noticed early on that the tire wears extremely fast if the pressure is too low or too high. Tire maintenance is easier than ever, as Wawa has free tire inflators and a battery powered auto tire inflator cost less than $100.

Another nitpick about the tires is that the high air pressure (42 PSI in my Model X) means that the tires are under a lot of stress and even minor impacts with the sidewall can burst the tires.

So my bottom line recommendation is that you will get normal wear on your tires if you drive normally rather than aggressively, and if you keep your tires will maintained.
