If the Forbes article carries any weight I'd say it's less the car but the owners. A large number of Tesla owners are not car people and prioritize safely, low maintenance, and ease of operation. I had one owner state "the car just went off the road" and while discussing the incident it was clear he hydroplaned in the rain and lost control. The customer didn't know what the word hydroplaned meant. These are not folks who spent their teen years learning car control by doing donuts in snowy parking lots.
Add to this the cars are heavy and powerful, wearing out tires at an accelerated rate. Since they do not require periodic maintenance like oil changes (Tesla recommends tire rotations however that's easily ignored and also hard to schedule) nobody is really looking at wear items that often. So you have a fleet of heavy, powerful, indifferently maintained vehicles, many of them rear wheel drive, being driven in a large part by unskilled drivers. The stat does not shock me.
