Who is it that you believe has been "triggered" Frosty?Not sure why anybody would need to be triggered by the prospect of electric cars when the alternative ultimately may well be less or no cars.
The bollox spouted about worthless lithium car batteries going into landfill when there's already a recycling industry for something as comparatively worthless as dead lead acid batteries and the reality of a 15 year old Prius on it's original suitcase sized boot mounted lithium battery still being used as a taxi.
It's worth looking on eBay at electric cat S and N damaged salvage cars to realise that EVs are a thing and being treated no differently than their oil burning equivalent in the real world.
I looked a couple of days back and apart from Tesla's paranoid post sale control of software and replacement parts to third party repairers there were three model 3s, one a long range model too, all below £12,000.
Maybe I stand alone (it has been known), but I find the word "triggered" problematic, given it's a pejorative euphemism for "had the temerity to disagree with the prescribed viewpoint".
