I was firmly in the ICE forever camp at one time but after a few months in a Model 3 Performance I can say it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be as EV's really do make for better commuter cars.
They still need to get the sports car thing correct. My wife has an i4 M50 en route. When I test drove it, I thought the 5,000+lb i4 M50 did a decent impression of a 4000lb M340i xdrive, from a driving dynamics perspective (of course, acceleration was no contest). That gives me faith and hope.
