My local Hyundai dealer told me that buying a new car every 6 months is the cheapest way to own an EV right now.

Sounds like something someone motivated to sell cars would say.

Even with subsidies, that first leg of depreciation is the steepest slope. Like I don't see how that beats just buying and owning it.

Supply is so constrained now (and was even before the chip shortage) that it can take up to a year to get a new car delivered, this changes the depreciation curve a bit.
Of course their incentives might be a bit different than yours are. ;)
