Teslas at least are rated for the lifetime of the car, but it’s fair to say the chance of them getting replaced is higher than zero especially if you drive it a long time and brake aggressively.

Not sure if that’s an actual known cause, but every personal story I know involves extreme acceleration contributing to quicker tire wear.
