PHEVs are worst of both worlds - terrible performance, high maintenance cost. You are 100% sure to replace its battery in cars lifetime, likely multiple times at cost close to Tesla's total battery replacement.
Likelihood of replacing Tesla's battery - less than 1%.
And sure PHEVs do have their use cases - living somewhere where no charge infrastructure exists AND hauling huge loads over long distances - sure! But that use case is like less than 1% for family SUV (and perhaps less than 10% for truck).
Getting stranded with no power and screaming kids can happen with petrol too, it has nothing to do with technology.
