Probably has a lot to do with tradition and the intangible "feel" of what it takes in an ICE car to get massive performance. Sure, the Tesla can do some amazing things (acceleration) but versus other established metrics ('Ring time) it's going to have 'cherry picking' asterisks next to its claims I think. There's likely more than a little bias against zipping around in a oversized Traxxis LiPo instead of romping around with a thumping motor and exhaust sound.
