I don’t disagree with your common sense final conclusion, but I do know a lot of people that will burn that much gasoline. If they get 20 MPG, 20 x 17,544 = 359,880 miles.
Before I retired, that would be about 5 years.
And my job was not driving, The driving part was required to get me to where I needed to be.
There are literally hundreds of thousands who drive that much, and they are not truck drivers.
But I never would have been able to do it in a Tesla.
That’s a lot of windshield time!
