yes you are absolutely right. What is cheapest Tesla Model 3? $45K? Is that mass market car?? LOL Meanwhile we need to consider total cost over whole lifecycle of the car. ICEs can be often be repaired by owner who is a bit handy with tools and kept economically for decades (witness Cuba with 60 year old ICE). EVs? When the main battery dies out of warranty, that's when the whole EV goes to junk yard, as replacing main battery is outlandish (Tesla main battery cost $25K!). So EVs are basically an appliance like smart phone, designed to be used for a while and thrown away. Huge negative impact compared to humble ICE which can last basically forever.
