Fun to drive? I've never experienced that. You drive a car. They're all pretty much the same. I never take it above about 75. I wouldn't call that fun. What's fun about it?
Go test drive one and you'll understand. Seriously.
Cars are pretty much the same, EVs are a different animal. No shifting, instant torque, full torque at all speeds. A Tesla SUV can out-accelerate many gas-driven sports cars. You put the hammer down on the highway and you've got instant 1st-gear-level acceleration.
Most people just want a reliable safe car, not a high-performance penis extension.
It doesn't matter. I'm NEVER buying a car from that psychopath, at least not until he's been imprisoned, and his companies nationalized (we paid for them, after all, they're ours), and most of the profits gone to the workers who built it, and the remainder to a government account to fund social safety nets.
