I think it's as simple as this: Quiet car's don't get noticed.
While I don't own a Tesla, I have rented them ... It's easy to go fast without being noticed.
Around town in the Phoenix area, we get an excellent mix of everything ... from mundane, to exotic, to utilitarian, to clapped out and dangerous.
In an every-day environment, I can say that I notice "hard driving" in the following order:
1. Lifted diesel trucks with a "tune" ... and stickers
2. Mustangs / Camaros ... occasionally
3. Nothing else outside cars-and-coffee
Saw a Tesla Model S launch really hard ... one time
Never seen a Porsche driven in anger on the street
These are all wonderful cars in some sense ... People buy what they like ... why try to force it into a stereotype?
