That seems like a temporary issue. Right now we've still got lots of expensive/high class EVs where ludicrous mode is a thing people are excited about, but once there's real competition on the low end... "doesn't waste tyres" sounds like both a good selling point and simple to implement.

I think we are already there. The best selling Tesla right now is also a slowest Tesla ever made - Model Y SR at pretty limpy 0-60 of 7s (which is perfectly fine and fun to drive).
p.s. Seeing how many people already killed themselves with Plaid - I think gov should require advanced driving licence for super quick and super fast cars.

Advanced driving courses have a decidedly mixed record on improving safety, unfortunately. I believe the evidence suggests that they improve confidence more than they improve skill.
As for the Plaid, from what I’ve read the yoke and the high-speed handling are frankly dangerous. If somebody gave me one, I’d sell it and buy something where the drivetrain, the handling, and the aerodynamics are better matched.
