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 : )
Go put Ohlins on the Model Y. SOOO much better. I actually have lifted mine 20 mm then put in Pilot 4 SUV tires plus sized 1". The car handles well in the twisties and then can do some light off roading.
