I think you're on to something there. Poor range is the complaint I hear from many owners of sports sedans/coupes. Chris Harris (a well respected automotive journalist) listed this as a chief complaint about his E92 M3 (the V8 powered car). I just drove my E92 M3 on a 2,000 mile road trip from Florida to Virginia, and I can empathize. The car managed 23 MPG on the highway, but I had to stop every 300 miles or so in order to fill up to avoid the anxiety of running out of fuel in heavy traffic where the car would average closer to 19 MPG. That still bests the Tesla's range by a reasonable margin, but it's enough to make M3 owners complain, so I could see it being an issue for potential Tesla buyers.
