The P85D can accelerate very quickly, and it's a cool car, don't get me wrong, but a supercar it ain't.
If you want supercar territory for that money: GTR, Corvette (modified C6/C6Z06, modified/stock C6 ZR1, or the new modified/stock C7 Z06), or Viper are where it's at. They may not have the 0-60 but they're actually intended to run at high speed and make the turns that a tesla P85D can't.
So what you're telling me is that a P85D can do everything that's actually legal better than supercars but can't do the illegal stuff? Then I think I'm okay with in not being a "supercar." I mean, how many times do people actually take their supercars to the track? I'm guessing it's closer to 0 then it is to "more often then they get to accelerate from a red light."
I live in the bay area. I don't know
anyone who has a supercar and who does not track it at least occasionally. And I know a hell of a lot of people with ridiculous cars.
In fact, a great many of my coworkers take their relatively normal cars to the track.
Something being illegal doesn't mean it's impossible. Did you know that in general, it's illegal to accelerate too quickly? A 0-60 of 2.8 seconds or whatever is going to be illegal if you do it on a normal road.
Even the shittiest of shitboxes in the past 15 years can keep up with traffic on any road in the US if you press the gas hard enough, assuming it's in good repair. Okay, with a few exceptions, that's true. Which of course means that anyone buying more than a fairly basic car is buying it for luxury; and it will have a top speed that is generally illegal to achieve on any normal road in the US. This is a great argument for buying a used econobox. This is not a great argument for buying a tesla over a GTR or whatever; if you're paying $100k for a car, you will never experience the performance it fully offers unless you take it to a track or break some laws.
As much as I like teslas, I would not say that they do everything legal better than other cars of the same caliber. They do a lot of stuff way better. They do some stuff worse, some much worse. For some jobs, they are simply 100% unsuitable, even compared to something like my old, non-fancy car. If I was buying a $100k-ish car, no, I would not pick the P85D, because the things it cannot do actually matter to me on a regular basis. I love teslas and I love that tesla exists, there's no fanboyism against them in saying that.
