How are Teslas “economically wasteful” compared to other cars of a similar size?

"How are Teslas economically wasteful compared to other economically wasteful things?"

Don't move goalposts.

Teslas, like all cars, are absurdly wasteful on an absolute scale. And it has fuck-all to do with the energy needed to propel them, by the way; the real waste is in the way they force cities to be ruined to shoehorn them in.
