Clearly, the attraction isn't based on economic considerations.

Certainly not for the initial group of buyers. They're buying status and have the means to pay for it. That is the money the company will use to develop more affordable cars down the road.

That's a point I try to drive home to all those lefties who want to "tax the rich". It is that disposable income that nurtures new technologies to the point that they can be mass produced at prices everyone can afford. Punitively taxing "the rich" amounts to eating your seed corn.
