Ferrari is a niche manufacturer and it can ignore what it wants to ignore

However, here's a telling comparison

In the 1971 Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, Brock Yates and Dan gurney drove a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 from NYC to Redondo Beach (2,863) in 35 hours 54 minutes (somewhat slowed by snow in the Rocky mountains), including fuel stops.

You’re luck if you can put a full charge on a Tesla in 36 hours.
