Tesla model S accelerates faster and has a higher top speed, and also more range on a smaller battery....

For a absolutely tiny fraction of the price!

It also looks better than this Nissan leaf knock-off!

I'm not the target market, this thing costs more than my house! But I do think the specs are... Disappointing...

Tesla Model S is discontinued.

Whatever its merits, there wasn’t a market for it.

  • Just pointing out that, technically, if you're gonna drive slow, the Ferrari is the appropriate choice over the Tesla.

  • Which suggests that a similar but worse product shouldn't sell either?

    • The brand name counts for a lot in this market.

      Lamborghini Urus sells well even though it’s inferior on every metric to cars a fraction of its price.

      Tesla lost its premium brand cachet and consequently the Model S/X market.

      Ferrari presumably has some data that there are buyers for a $500k scifi sports car with their logo on it.
