I suspect "better value" in this case means the total cost of the car over its lifetime. Given the reliability problems of the Tesla Model S and the high sticker price, I would bet that the Honda Accord has a much better lifetime value. Maybe when Tesla fixes their manufacturing problems and releases a Model Average, that will change.
