My buddy has a Model 3 Performance but took his ICE car today. He really doesn't like the way the Tesla handles on these canyon roads. Says the steering is weird/numb, brakes feel odd, and no paddles or soundtrack zap all the fun out of the experience.
I don't doubt a fun nimble EV can be produced with how the technology is advancing, but the inherent "flaws" of ICE are what make it so fun and engaging for us.

I'm jealous that you have canyon roads nearby. Ugh illinois sucks. I need to move.
