i feel like only if they make lighter EV's along the line of an i3. A 7-8k lb cybertruck or rivian probably eats brakes like no tomorrow

I rarely use the brakes on my 6600lb CT because I'm usually using regenerative braking. I assume it's similar for the 7100lb Rivian. Now, if you're constantly launching at traffic lights, that's going to be some extra tire dust compared to slower ICEs.
