The main attraction for a Z is being a reliable 2 seat Japanese sporty car. Same for those who buy Miatas, Mini Coopers, etc. There's always going to be a car "better" or "faster" than the car you like, but you like what you like nonetheless.

A Tesla is not fast. It is what we would call quick. This isn’t exclusive to Tesla either, all electric cars have this ability as they have instant torque delivery. An electric car will destroy almost anything in a 1/8 mile race. It will still be winning almost all the time in a 1/4 mile race. But once you get to 1/2 mile the electric car really starts to lose its lead. Electric cars start really fast but after a short time the power of a traditional engine will beat them. Even a Porsche 911 can beat a Tesla P100D if the race was 1 mile. And once you get to the track, electric cars really don’t have any footing.
