Porsche has already pulled out of WEC (Le Mans, Rolex 24 Hours) in favour of Formula E and is planning to release a electric vehicle by 2019. My bet is that they're going to get an electric performance vehicle on the road way before Tesla.

Moreover, what does this mean to Tesla? Competitors with decades of manufacturing experience cranking out reliable, fast electric vehicles with likely better build quality might pose an interesting problem.

I dont think it will before Tesla. The Porsche Mission E which is sceduled for 2019, is slower than a Tesla Model S P100D.
You may very well be right. The Mission E is closer to a Panamera than a 911.

Regardless, very interesting to watch the competition heat up.
