you’d have to be a moron to spend $50k on a vehicle whose battery will be dead within the next 5 years... the replacement of which will cost at least $30k.

EV battery packs have a standard warranty period of 8 years -- and very rare to have a claim.

The federal government requires manufacturers to offer an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty on all EV batteries. California does one better, mandating a warranty of 10 years or 150,000 miles.
