Once. After one launch the car will switch to economy mode to save its battery. Tesla’s are very fast but they have little stamina.
No not even close.
A Youtuber launched his Tesla Model to 60 mph from a dead stop THIRTY-ONE times in a row with no performance degradation. Porsche let a different Youtuber take the Taycan to a track and he used launch control 30 times in a row. He was still hitting 125mph from a dead stop in 10 seconds on the 30th attempt.
Is it possible that grandpa is scared of new technology and has no idea what he's talking about?
A Youtuber??? Oh, than it must be true if it’s on YouTube, Sonny.
From Car & Driver:
“ In just one lap at Virginia International Raceway, with the magazine's technical editor, K.C. Colwell, behind the wheel, the Model S P85D goes into reduced power mode in the middle of the single hot lap, displays an air suspension fault, and has a heart-stopping change of pressure in the brake pedal.”
Love,
Grandpa

Or, maybe a Honda S2000. Both the Honda and Porsche will be significantly more expensive, used or new, then the Miata.
Honda S2000 is going to require some enthusiasm from the owner. While overall reliable, there are some well known issues that may need to be addressed since the cars are now fairly old:

As a Honda fan, I wouldn't mind having one, but you would have to be a Honda fan...
The Miata RF is a really striking vehicle in person, especially in that bluish grey looking color.

My Crisis car i regret selling. 1969 Black two door Dodge Charger like from Fast and Furious. I literally pull up to a bar, restaurant or wedding and car would be surrounded. Notes under windshield every time I Parked.
I recall some middle age guy in corvette with hot blonde and she was smiling at me at red light, set let’s “light it up. I gave him a two second head start and beat home to next light. Was a beast! Tesla himself was a man who died broke, alone, never married and no kids
Funny thing about your post is a Tesla S would smoke the Charger and Challenger off the red light
With none of the emotion, drama, and character...

I have seen one in ages. In high school I was in love with the orange one.
I’d still get the Tesla now. Yes, I’m a Starbucks drinking 48 year old soccer mom. But I’ve never seen a Tesla in the soccer parking lots - ever. They are filled with behemoth SUVs
