Have you ever driven a Tesla dual motor (or greater)? It is pretty crazy having better acceleration than most sports cars while basically driving an egg. Definitely a larger jump in performance from ICE to EV than between any two gas cars I’ve ever driven.

When it comes to performance, both ICE and E cars are way above "good enough" though (e.g. the difference between a horse and ca 1920's car is much bigger than the difference between any modern ICE and E car). Fastest way to move the needle is to make E cars cheaper to buy and own than an ICE car I'd guess (now I actually wonder how expensive a Ford Model T vs a horse was, both to buy and in maintenance).

you only needed to work 3 weeks or 3 months to afford a model T on the average wage back then.

You can launch EV faster, but your average travelling speed on a highway is much slower than ICE, because from my experience every 2 hours of driving around 130km/h I need to be attached for 1 hour to a charger.

Given how quickly air resistance scales with speed you might actually get to your destination faster if you drive slower just from needing to recharge less.

No, the optimal speed for efficiency is around 60mph.

Most people don't care since performance offers no more utility.

I find it much easier to change lanes in traffic and make left turns in traffic because a narrower window is required when the acceleration is higher and easier to control. Short on-ramps are easier to deal with. Braking is much smoother also. I suspect you have not actually driven one?

I have but I also daily drive a 330hp car. The only thing striking about the Tesla is the torque that is instant I don't have to down shift to hunt for power

Anyway that isn't utility. A slower car can still change lanes etc.
