Lots cheaper than a Ferrari, same ballpark as upper-end Porsche. Of course you could argue that those are ridiculously expensive too, but people do buy enough of them to keep their companies in business and making profits.

As for range... If you have the money for one of those, then for trips of more than a couple hundred miles, you fuel up your private jet, no? But seriously, the only trip I've made in a decade or more that would exceed a Tesla's range (driven conservatively) was when I went to pick up the Insight.
