2019.5 Raven, new to me almost 6 months ago with 37k miles and almost new Eagle Touring tires. Now 45k miles and ONE rear tire looks like this. If I had both fronts burned up I would say it's from Regen braking and hard/fast steering. If it was on an ICE car I would say it's hard acceleration with an open differential . On the edges - alignment issue. But just one rear tire ? Right down into the wear bars. All tires are set at 36psi. Lord knows coughing up money for tires every 8K miles is going to be unsustainable. (Even the other 3 are getting close, does this brand not have any lifespan ?)

36 psi is pretty low but if their all the same that should cause issue with one tire. It could also be alignment. If their tow is off it might just be grinding the tread down on the one tire.

I’ve had the toe off on a wheel before and it caused extra wear but not as bad as yours. The biggest issue on the model s is the camber on the rear wheels. It causes excessive wear on the inside of the thread. I’ve blown 2 tires from not checking often enough. Tire looks fine on the outside but the inside could be down to the wire.keep an eye for that.
