You've been listening to a lot of anti EV propaganda.

the hybrid electric engine of the Prius line, produces enough greenhouse gasses in the production of a single Hybrid/EV car to completely eclipse the lifetime operating emissions of a single ICE car.

This myth has been thoroughly debunked multiple times, even from official sources:

https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/electric-vehicle-myths

FACT: The greenhouse gas emissions associated with an electric vehicle over its lifetime are typically lower than those from an average gasoline-powered vehicle, even when accounting for manufacturing.

The electricity that powers the Tesla might be “clean”, but if it was produced by burning fossil fuels at a power plant, it’s just shifting the method of combustion

No even if a Tesla drives on pure coal based electricity it's still slightly cleaner. Because powerplants are more efficient than a car engine and don't idle, and the emissions are more efficiently treated from a powerplant. This is also when accounting for transportation and charging of the electricity, but without accounting for the waste when producing and transporting the fuel to suit an iCE car. So there is a healthy margin in favor of EV and PHEV. So even when driving a Tesla in say Poland which is the most coal heavy country in EU, an EV still pollute less than an ICE car. When you drive it in for instance Denmark, France Sweden, the EV pollute less than a fourth of an ICE car.

it’s arguably worse than economy ICE alternatives

Yeah an economy ICE is obviously not as bad as a NON economy. For more than half a century, We've had the option to mandate "economy fuel consumption" on cars, but haven't done so. I agree that that's a failure of policy.
