I8 was building speed Tesla was starting to peter out. So up to 100 mph the Tesla will have more punch it seems, and after that it won't be. I mean the Tesla is quick, but no chance in hell it is at 18 kmh and the I8 is somehow stuck at 1; although every new BMW I've had in the last 5 years seems to have initial lag from a stop, perhaps the I8 is no different.

I can't quite tell, but it doesn't look like they used launch control on the i8. I don't think it will make a huge difference, but it does reduce the initial lag from start that is there without it.
