Unless you live in an area with lots of Superchargers or if your works place has electric car charging stations. I feel like that's the reason why so many people that I work with get Teslas.
It's probably more likely that you work with a lot of high-income males who are interested in the technology of Tesla and the prestige of owning one.
I live in an area where electric vehicles (and particularly Teslas) are very uncommon. The couple of people I know of who own Teslas fit your description exactly. They are status symbols and playthings, like any other expensive high-line car (and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just the reality).
I thought Tesla sent out letters to people using Superchargers for daily charging, clarifying that they were intended for long-distance travel.
