This sounds like the kind of thing Ferrari does, that people accept because if you own a Ferrari you're kinda part of an exclusive club of rich assholes. Teslas are expensive but they're not "exclusive club" expensive, they're more like BMWs.

Complete with asshole drivers.

Yeah, there's also the fact that rich wankers buy a limited edition car on pre-order, then sell that pre-order for more than they paid for it because it turns out even richer wankers also don't tend to plan ahead and will pay extra to jump the queue and have this year's fancy new model at the last minute.

I know somebody that did this a few times, and then got stuck with a £100k sports car when a recession hit.

Hah.
