I recall a LOT of EV-1 owners (relatively speaking) that wanted to buy their vehicles when the program ended, and they were denied.

Doesn't mean anything here, other than it is really hard to predict what "dumb" choices companies will make.

You can’t compare EV-1 to Tesla. GM would have had a liability tail for the EV-1 (injuries and Magnussen-Moss parts/repairs). Tesla doesn’t have that problem since they already sell cars outright.

Did they make credible offers in terms of the costs GM would incur by selling them?

(Imagine the fun news articles about GM selling them cars and then not having repair parts)
