I actually think that this is vitally important to one party - Porsche. Tesla can already stand pat on having marginally better street performance and range for less than half the cost. It's Porsche that needs to establish its bragging rights as the "track EV".
Elon is basically trying to land a knockout blow in the first round by taking away that advantage before the Taycan even hits showrooms
