No one has argued weight is not "a" factor. You're the one who's continuously arguing technology can not be another and increasingly more significant factor. You're only digging a hole you can't get out by denying it (like the comment professional drivers don't need active system). Even your beloved, yes beloved, Porsche relied on technology to get to where they are today. You were insisting the Roadster can not be one of the best handling cars without even understand what kind of technology will be put in the car. Can you at least wait for a while to get a good idea of what it really is before that silly "oh it will not work because it has a heavy battery" conclusion?
Don't think either of us will change the view even if we continue this for another 100 posts. Let's wait till, hopefully, 2020 to see how the car really is like. I think you, and even I, will be surprised. Technology can do wonders beyond what us layman could imagine. I'll let you to have the last say if you wish.
Okay, so we at least can agree weight is a factor. Where we differ greatly is in what we consider to be fundamental factors in vehicle handling. As an experienced vehicle dynamicist and race engineer I know that weight is a fundamental parameter and central to any vehicle dynamics model. You can toss as many straw men in front of that simple truth as you wish, but it doesn't change the fact.
This idea you are putting forward that Porsche 911, 919 etc only handle well because of stability control systems is totally inaccurate and misleading. The stability systems on their current road cars are often switched off for serious track use simply because they dumb down the performance envelope for safety in the hands of average drivers. Switching them off does make them harder to drive on the limit, but the limits are a little higher without them. Here's an interesting article about the Panamera Nurburgring lap record:-
Meet the man who set a Nürburgring lap record in a Porsche Panamera | Autocar
"Kern says advances in suspension and tyre technology and the car's lighter weight were of a huge benefit" (in comparison to the heavier gen 1 Panamera)
"For the fast lap, the car was switched into its most extreme driving mode, Sport+, and the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) was turned off." (as is usual practice for a pro driver aiming to set a fastest lap)
With full blown race cars like the 919, traction control, ABS etc is calibrated specifically for racing (their main benefit in racing is tyre wear management rather than handling) and these systems are nowhere near as conservative or foolproof as equivalent road car systems. I worked extensively with traction control systems in F1 before it was eventually banned and there again it was all about tyre wear rather than handling. Without traction control they would be harder to drive and certainly harder on their tyres, but the basic handling would be the same. The fundamental reasons why the 919 is so fast are its ultra-low weight (it's nearly half the weight of the road going 918), high downforce and power, all coupled with a stiff (as in torsional chassis rigidity and suspension installation stiffness) race-bred chassis. It's electronic systems are really just the icing on the cake, not key fundamentals.
Now don't put words into my mouth about the Roadster. I'm merely saying that weight is highly likely to be the major issue for it to overcome in terms of ultimate handling performance. Now if by some miracle they can bring this car in at 1700-1800 kg with a 200 kWh battery (i.e. match the weight of the Nio EP9 with it's much smaller battery and carbon race chassis) then it could be sensational with all the inherent advantages of an electric drivetrain. But if it ends up well over 2000 kg, which I think is almost inevitable, then it's going to be a real issue setting competitive lap times. Basically much the same problem Bugatti have in that regard with their 2000 kg Chiron. That doesn't mean it will not be a great road car, just not a complete all-rounder.
As a final thought, maybe we can agree that it would require a major breakthrough in technology to make weight an unimportant factor in vehicle handling. But I'm not putting any money on this SpaceX package being the answer. You see unlike you, I'm not a "layman" when it comes to vehicle handling and specifically race car handling. It's my chosen profession and I've been involved at the highest level for a long time. The real meaningful breakthrough will be in making significantly lighter batteries and if the Roadster arrives with some amazingly light 200 kWh battery, then that will be far more impressive than any bolt-on "rocket" system.
I'll leave you with these recent quotes from Porsche's R&D chief:-
"Fully electrified sports cars would work very well for longitudinal acceleration,” says Porsche R&D boss Michael Steiner, “but the weight disadvantage is in the handling."
“When this could happen depends on the evolution of battery power and cell density.” (in response to the intro of an EV 911)
"Porsche has built an all-electric Boxster prototype to test the concept. It performed well, but delivered lower track times because of a heavier kerb weight that also affected roadholding."
