Regardless of the arguable monetary value, capitalism as a system to allocate and distribute resources is such a scam. What a waste.
I don't disagree, but I think it's worth acknowledging that the US government could very easily regulate things so that Tesla are responsible for the financial burden they're putting on the world when they inevitably scrap these vehicles.
That doesn't address a bunch of other problems, but changing the global system of resource allocation is a hard thing, and making companies have some semblance of financial responsibility for destroying the planet is an easy thing that any government could do tomorrow. Just like how capitalism will (and did) inevitably result in child labour, but that can be (and was) outlawed directly.
I'm not trying to undermine your point about capitalism btw, just make the case that even within the constraints capitalism has, companies are getting away with an outrageous amount of destructive behavior.
