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.
