Replacing the computer hardware or heat pumps in a Tesla can't be cheap either. Not saying IC engines are better than electric but a $50k luxury vehicle is going to cost more in repairs than a $5k Toyota Corolla.

All stuff that’s on any new car. That screen in the middle of any new dashboard ain’t cheap.

And I will gladly compare a brand new anything (ok, maybe not a VW or a Land Rover) to a whipped $5k Corolla.

If you buy a toyota for $5k and the repair guy quotes $6k you just scrap it. If the Tesla repair guy quotes $9k in repairs then you either pay up or sell it at a fraction of the msrp.
