Ah, thank you for finding that & pointing it out. One of the things I didn't get & wanted from the original post was the full CO₂ cost of the manufacture, and I figured it was probably going to be much higher. (I didn't include it since the article was focused on moving manufacturing, so the manufacturing CO₂ cost would remain the same either way.)
(But, presumably the ICE car also has its own manufacturing cost, which should offset that of the Tesla? Though, I'm not sure what the equivalent here is; the manufacturing CO₂ of the gas? The CO₂ of the ICE's battery?)
I know not everyone does keep their vehicles as long as I do, but I better get at least 75k mi out of it! (My current — and first — car is at ~130k mi, and still going fairly strong, though it is definitely showing some wear. Alas, it burns gas.)
