I don't think people buy Ferrari or Lamborghini cars for their prodigious range. That kind of car is 99% for showing off. A minor problem is that electric vehicles don't make quite as much noise, but a bigger problem is that even the top-line "Founders edition" Tesla roadster maxes out at ~$250k, rather than the 450k+ for a pimped out Ferrari. The Tesla brand is about equal to BMW or Mercedes but certainly not equal to the real "showing off" brands.
