To me, high performance means 'smooth'.
The Model S response is instant, the full power is always there and it never has a hesitation or change in response due to being at a gear transition, valves opening, turbo charger gearing up, etc.
I haven't driven a Jag yet, have tried Audi's, Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, etc. they all drove like dogs.
I would recommend test driving an S to see how you like the drive as that seems to be a significant part of why you like what you drive.
If you prefer self contained explosions being used to propel you around, you may not like the S.
If you like the always the, always consistent, always instant, and silent performance of the S, all the other things are details
