This is backwards thinking. The subsidies are to incentivize car manufacturers to make electric vehicles, at all price levels.Someone with the means is going to pick what they want when they want it, perceived cost benefits be damned.
You said it perfectly. Ridiculous to subsidize those with very high incomes, into a high end car.
The purpose is to increase the amount of EV’s on the road by subsidizing higher manufacturing costs and prices, to bring them closer in line to ICE vehicles. It’s not a “Thank you for choosing an electric vehicle” gift from Uncle Sam. And it’s intended for manufacturing cars at every budget - to get more EV’s on the road instead of ICE ones.
