Excellent tire on Tesla Model 3
2023 Tesla Model 3 Performance. 18k miles.
Replaced my original 20" Pirelli PZ4 EV tires with 4 new 19" Continental ExtremeContace Sport 02s (with smaller wheels).
I was tired of the thin sidewall of the 20" - had issues with bubbles on the side wall from potholes in the road. When they wore out I switch to these 19" tires. They are known as direct competitors to the Michelin P4S. I was concerned going from an EV specific tire with foam inside to these that the tire noise would increase, but that was not the case. These are equal or slightly more quiet.
The handling ride is smoother as well, that is likely due to the taller side wall.
Dry & wet conditions are equal in performance to the Pirellis. No difference in grip or responsiveness. I have not driven in snow on either so I can't review that.
The lighter wheels and tires improved my range and decreased my 0-60 time from 3.15 to 3.06 as measured by a Draggy.
I cannot comment on wear, I have only driven 2,000 miles or so on the new tires, but I highly recommend them.

Stellar aggressive summer rubber
I had these tires on my Porsche Boxster S and Loved them. They grip wonderfully, they're quiet and work well in the rain or high heat in Texas. When they were very low on tread
