MuseChaser, I agree with most of what you said but a couple of comments.
I've said before on here I don't care what my car uses for fuel, what I care about is being able to get in it in Georgia, enter any waypoint in the continental US and having a fairly high level of confidence I can get there without worrying about the location of fuel stops, and that a fuel stop will take less than 15 minutes. Can't do that with electric.

I do think this is misleading, even though you do clarify with "at least in terms of fuel". There is not a point within the normal life span of either car where the Tesla is cheaper than an FR-S to operate per mile. You are dismissing the cost of acquisition, insurance, etc all must be taken into consideration.
This is the same argument I give folks that, during high fuel prices, want to trade in their "gas guzzler" that gets 20MPH for a Prius. If what you care about is gas mileage, that's fine, but if what you care about is the cost of driving, your ROI is years.
