The magazine article I linked put the 911 turbo at a few hundredths of a second slower from 0-60, not sure if that is what you meant by putting “dominates” in all caps.
In anything other than a 1/8th mile drag race, the Porsche walks all over the Tesla and it’s virtually equal in the 1/8th mile. Electric cars are sort of one-trick ponies when it comes to off-the-line acceleration. On a road course, rolling start race from any speed, handling in a canyon, the 911 rules. I know which one I’d rather have.
