Much better to like them loud, because noise is vital.

I'm sure horse fanboys, when looking at those newfangled cars, complained about how much they missed the clip clop of hooves, the neighing, and the constant shoveling of shit.
Agreed; I do own a Tesla Model Y as well, and I can't stop getting amazed at how well it handles the roundabouts, ramps, and how much confidence it inspires that lets me use all the power it has.

The MUCH lower center of gravity, and almost all power available from the get go is just unsurmountable advantages. Stating that they are a one trick horse is just missing the whole point. Dare I say it, EVs, are the sportiest cars I can ever drive at the street with the fun available at all speeds. I do own a C7 Corvette Z06 as well, but despite all its might, it's not fun at the street at all, since I need triple digit speeds for fun, and any hard acceleration will be heard by the whole neighborhood, spoiling the fun. There's just no comparison : )
