Funnier is people just don't apply any commonsense to what they're reading.
No **** a Tesla is going to cost more than a corolla to fix. But like for like, the costs are comparable if not a little in favour of Teslas for certain items.

Did you even read the damn article? It literally touches on what you are trying to prove. The average for other EV's (non Teslas) are only 5% more than ICE cars. They explain why a Tesla is expensive to repair. Because like you say it is way more complex than a Corolla, or most other cars for that matter.
Are Tesla's the most expensive? No!
"While the average cost to repair a Tesla is high, Mr Mandell said electric models from niche car-makers such as Rivian, Lucid and Polestar can exceed $US8000 ($AU15,400)."
This reminds me why I don't tend to comment on these types of conversations. It's like having a debate about religion, or politics. People are way too invested in proving themselves right instead of seeing middle ground and that the truth can be a sea of grey. This is true for both sides of the EVs are awesome and EV's are evil arguments.
