It would have been more interesting to put a couple more performance cars in the mix. Maybe throw in a Mustang or something 1/2 the price of the others.

I'm not surprised the Tesla did well. I don't think anyone questions Tesla's performance capability.
Considering it's weight,frontal area, and mutilated roofline (high drag) they thought the Jag acquitted itself okay,in comparison to a VW Golf R and Subaru WRX STi.
Their Real-World range of 225-miles,considering a 90-kWh pack,compared to Tesla's 310-miles,with 75-kWhs, attracted criticism to Jaguar's wide tires and Cd 0.29,noting that there was a reason for Tesla's roofline and narrower rubber.
