The car's not perfect, but it is a massive turning point in automotive history. Electric cars have fumbled at the hands of traditional car manufacturers who have just tried to swap out the engine and think that's it. Tesla has not only completely redesigned the car from the ground up, it's also had to jump start the supporting infrastructure with its super charger network.
That's a huge but necessary undertaking to make it a viable alternative to traditional cars with their vast network of petrol stations.
These comparisons between expensive performance cars are fun but they're only done for entertainment value. Ultimately this car is changing the industry and the fundamentals to how automotive transport is designed and serviced.
If ever there was a collectors car, decades into the future this will be it.

Actually if car manufacturers take an existing, good looking car and swap the engine with a battery bank it would be something I would be interested in driving. But instead they somehow make their hybrids and EVs as ugly as possible.
