If that were the case, you could also question whether there's a market for an AMG version of any of 4-door Mercedes sedans. The same for the Audi RS4 or the RS6. The list goes on.

Amount of kids you stuff into the back seats more than zero? Family car.
Less than zero? Simply a luxury sedan.

Tesla has a pretty good line up to satisfy both groups.
Want to play it safe? Go with the 70 or 85.
Extra juice? The P85D's got your name written all over it.

ps. I'd be surprised if scared soccer moms would floor the pedal to the metal just because they can. Every driver is responsible for their own actions, regardless of whether they're sitting in an old beater, a tricked out AMG or a Tesla.

ps2. if this argument is about Mark Prince and not the actual topic (Tesla) I'd like to request a refund for the time it took to type this out.
i fully get all of that and don't disagree.

i find the marketing ploy to be beneath elon musk's level of smart, i also find it irresponsible and disingenuous.

the car doesn't need to be cartooned in order to sell more units, and performance packages can be added and such without marketing them like their being sold like a video game to children.
