Sure tesla is worth more 5 years on... but what about 10 years on when the battery is out of warranty?
The problem is that you can save money if you drive enough or keep it long enough.
But no one, no one will keep their tesla 10+ years, the current battery dictates that they degrade (weather or not you drive a lot, or even just leave it in the garage sitting most of the year), the tech is simply not there yet.
Where as for ICE, proper maintenance means the car can run just as well at 20 years old VS 5 years old. EV cant do that...
