It's cheaper to to provide that government-enforced carbon compensation than it is to provide the massive amounts of subsidies and tax credits that oil companies get.

In other words, the government actually saves money every time someone buys an electric vehicle.

Both things are true though.

Oil companies get massive subsidies. And Tesla's survival is dependent on green subsidies.

There's an easy (and I'd daresay, correct) solution there. Not subsidizing oil and reducing green subsidies. Unfortunately, it's not politically palatable.
