Whatever, people just drive what you like. 'Ring times, 0-60 are all for online ego-driven fanboys. Drive what makes you happy.

I don't care about seconds here and there, I care about how the car makes me "feel." And to date no EV provides the raw thrills that ICE equivalents do. I could care less if a Model 3 accelerates a second quicker than my Alfa, as I sure as hell know which car feels alive at any speed and handles like a go kart especially in these beautiful LA canyons. 3500 lbs, gears to shift, and engine noise. An EV can never deliver that engagement between a car and driver.

The Model S is commendable. Much like an Apple Watch it destroys everything from an objective technical standpoint, but at the same time is incredibly common and lacks the exquisite design and mechanical nature of a Rolex or Piguet time piece.
