Saw that too. What's killer though is the emissions at 0.93 lbs/mile. Scary.

In performance it's not close at all. This Corvette will destroy a tesla on every level. And that I will promise you.
Don't get me wrong. I like the idea of the tesla. I wish they would be a bit more creative and design their own body, rather than just electrify a lotus and an A-M. Also, look up battery life/distance in cold weather. It's not great. Even in normal warm weather you can't take them anywhere. A trip across the country would be epic. Drive 200 miles then charge over night.

If you want to get excited about the future of green automobiles..think hydrogen.
