For most cars, yes. So for the mass population you have a very, very valid point.
But then you have those that of us that have gotten over 700,000 miles out of the car. If taken car of, some people have gotten over 3 million miles. You also have those antique collectors that in 30 years will want an antique Tesla. For those the question will be "what does a Tesla Battery cost to rebuild or replace?" I guess the good thing is that if it's too expensive (car is disposable) then that will keep everyone up on the latest in safety technology because driving a decades old car won't be an option.
