Probably, because you are posting an incomplete analysis.

What about the fact that Tesla is one of the top selling electric vehicles, and the fact that Tesla does not use the traditional dealer network model. How much energy went into building and maintaining all those buildings for brands selling ICE vehicles? How much energy goes into building and maintaining the networks of gas stations, oil change places, emissions-checking equipment, etc. for ICE vehicles?

We really don't have adequate data to analyze the end to end supply chain, sales facilities, service facilities, and end-of-life vehicle disposal factors in a rational fashion. If you want to expand the argument to the full and total impact of EV vs. ICE, then at least put some better effort into it.
