Roger,
You've made the mistake of assuming the Tesla's high performance and apparently impressive range are achieved at the same time. However, the long range will not be achieved if you're actually taking advantage of the acceleration and top speed capabilities. This of course is also true of a conventionally powered car however those can be refilled anywhere in a matter of minutes so it's not a limiting factor for them like it is with an electric.
The other thing that goes along with this is people conveniently mixing up the performance and price of the various Tesla sedan offerings. Usually they talk about the speed and range of the top-dollar model, which is $100k or so, but then talk about the "low" price of the $57k model. The more expensive one has more range, faster acceleration, etc. You pay dearly for it.
