I know people who have traded in Teslas, and I don't think they were charged a disposal fee. I did not buy mine to virtue signal. But to your point, there are definitely legitimate arguments that EVs are not good for the environment, as mining for the battery parts and the disposal of the batteries does create environmental issues. There is a company owned by a former Tesla guy that is attempting to recycle the batteries.
