Worth checking the number of ply in the sidewalls of the tyres you have and tyres they use for off road capabilities. EV's tend to have "softer" tyres to improve range, but they don't fare well on non paved roads.
Did you let the tyres down a bit to soften any potential impacts? Probably not many "off the beaten tracks" over there, but over here, if you get away from the edges of the big island, most of the roads are ..... poor ..... up through the even less travelled roads and they are down right tyre hungry.
The other tip I can offer, pull to the side of the road and stop to let a car pass, otherwise, drive up the middle ..... it's driving at the edges that expose the softest part of the tyre, the side wall, to any rocks sticking out sideways of any cuttings or washaways, that are the ones to watch out for, potholes only destroy tyres if you are travelling too quick for the road conditions ..... you can drive through a pothole, but you can't power through them ......
All that aside, glad to hear you faced your enemy and didn't let it beat you, only a few flesh wounds on the second attempt, nothing mechanical failed and really, it was the bank account that took the hit, so let it cry about it and feel proud you tackled the beast and beat it
Life is not just for the young, it is for the young at heart, what sort of life would it be if you were always scared to do anything because of the "What if's" stopped you from enjoying it
