That is actually a more apt description for a gas car. You have to drive a car with expensive parts that break with a proprietary and expensive fuel that malfunctions if you use the wrong fuel.
Meanwhile my car sips on electrons generated from my front yard.
Not all fuel car parts are expensive unlike Tesla parts. Putting in the wrong fuel is like mixing up the ink for laser and ink jet printers. It's about Teslas not all electric cars vs all fuel cars.
