...except that without Tesla, there wouldn't even be the market there currently is for EV. Beyond that, testing and/or competing in motorsports isn't only for winning purposes and bragging rights. Tons of useful data can be gathered from it that is useful in building a better car, not to mention the publicity and brand awareness. Even this "embarrassing" wreck here is advertising... and you're helping them by posting it.
For the record, I'm not an EV supporter.
