Even my not so aero-sleek non-turbo Cayenne will out accel a Tesla above freeway speeds. The Tesla has no gearbox (yet, anyway) and the motor torque curve falls off pretty quickly around 70mph. Most Porsches have significantly higher top speeds, than the Tesla. ...But yes, the Tesla's are stupid quick, for a few launches off the line. On the track they over heat quickly. ...go unto limp mode.
