i think the 991 turbo S is a more apt comparison in terms of price. it's also is tested at 2.5s 0-60, will certainly outrun the tesla over long distances and top speed, and can launch 50 times in a row, at least (this is probably only limited by gasoline). it's also very fast around a track, which you can lap repeatedly, many times, on a single tank of gas.

the tesla is an amazing vehicle but it's not the same thing as a high end sports car which was built to give maximum performance with high endurance over long distances. all of the sports car stuff came out of F1 and LeMans and FIA rally research and development.
a tesla isn't designed to do any of those things. it's designed to take you to work or your weekend destination really, really fast and in comfort and then take you home and sit charging overnight. and clearly it does that job excellently but people insist on comparing to other use cases which is just dumb. it's like comparing a pickup truck to a 918 spyder.
