I have a 2011 LEAF and had to replace the tires out after 30k. It was the outer edges that were worn as well. I thought maybe it was from so much city driving and not many highway miles at all, but sounds like it is something else I guess. Still, if I just need tires a bit earlier than some other cars, so be it, the car is awesome :-)

It may depend on how you drive. Instant torque makes it easy to chirp the tires, especially when accelerating in a tight turn. Traction control limits the slip duration. A Tesla just scales things up about 3x. Even with vastly better traction control (think 85D), replacing tires is the biggest operating cost per mile.
Try easing off the accelerator in tight turns, and see if that gets you some more mileage on your tires. And, of course, rotate the tires every 7,500 miles so they wear more evenly, alternating outside edges and inside edges. I've got 25,000 miles so far, with 3 rotations, and no sign of uneven wear.

18000 no uneven wear, operate in Eco mode and gently let regen breaking take you round corners. It can only be that you're gunning the car or running a heavy car too fast into corners. Chillax man you're driving an EV 😃
