Anyway, Teslas have amazing engineering. Just because its CEO has mental issues, you won't consider it? Haha : )
Fine, take a look at Ioniq5, or BMW i4, or even Bolt with its torque steering FWD; they all have amazing handling (Bolt is OK) and are so much fun to drive, thanks to physics : )
I use a '19 Corvette Z06/Z07 manual and '23 BRZ manual for road course track, but sorry, EVs are so much more fun for street use; there's no competition in my opinion.

honestly, elon musk is the least of my worries. i can't get behind the cult of teslastans. i have no interest in participating, or even being associated with that group, even at a distance.
the ioniq5 is a distant possibility. never cared for bmw's. bolt is out, i stopped agreeing with gm design decisions in 2005.
my very first rule with vehicles is that i must be able to yank the head unit out for a month and be able to operate everything except am/fm/bluetooth for that entire month. the leaf is the only vehicle that still complies with that rule. call it what you want, but newer vehicles are resorting to custom stereo eq's, and everything-in-the-touchscreen that take even longer to decode, and even more gear than ever before just to simply get a clean audio signal (toyota tacoma's 'premium' jbl system requires almost $1500 in gear just to decode and get an RCA output!). i always mod my stereo's. it's part of the enjoyment of any vehicle to me.
