Seeing the wear bar on my rear tires at 27,000km

I didn’t expect to see the wear bar on my rear tires at 27,000km.

I’m in shock

What tire? What version of the Model 3? What are the alignment numbers and your mileage from each time you've gotten your Model 3 aligned?

Without sharing any of that, all we can tell you is tires wearing out in 27k km / 17k miles is perfectly normal, depending.

Yeah, the rears go quick. Mine were toast at 30k miles (60k rated tire). I replaced the rears and kept the original fronts. The fronts were still serviceable at 66k miles, when I replaced all 4. Rotate every 5k and you should do a little better.

Doesn't look like even wear although looks typical for a Tesla. Rotation may help with the theory the front will have more wear on the outside of the tire when cornering.

Use less acceleration and less regen. (Both matter; just because you aren’t touching the brakes does not mean you aren’t scrubbing rubber off your tires - they are working hard!)

Keep acceleration (both directions) to lower than 0.2g and you’ll probably do a lot better.

Might be things you could do with alignment or inflation too…wear looks a bit uneven.

Tire rotation will help distribute wear more evenly.
