With regard to tire costs… for any EV owners in the US make sure to buy tires at a place that honors the tread wear warranty. Although my tires are high end which hurts the wallet, I regularly get $500 - $600 tread wear warranty credit applied to the purchase because I remember to ask for it, bringing the cost down a lot.
Costco is the absolute worst for this in my experience. They won’t honor the warranty until the tread level is dangerous. Discount Tires (also branded as America’s Tires in some states) is the best and they’re all over which is handy on road trips.
