The “Super cars” the exception is talking about have no range to talk of. The GP is incorrect that EVs are faster; if they were, the super car manufacturers wouldn’t be making hybrids.

But are Ferraris and Lamborghinis really the type of car one would take on a long trip?
First I've often enough been told that high performance cars weren’t the most comfortable, and the mere risk of it breaking down somewhere in the middle of nowhere without any certified garage in the area (which is the case of most places) would make me think twice.
But to each their own, I guess.

Yeah, charging has to become a whole lot faster and vehicles a whole lot cheaper for the majority of society to be able to make the switch
Charging in general is a hassle if you live in the city. You might need to park in a different neighbourhood just to let your car charge while you're at home.
For many use cases, EVs just aren't practical.
