-True, but I believe (at least this holds true for me) - the tinkerability, if you like, of ICEs is much higher. You can work on them at home, install all sorts of modifications and upgrades - real or perceived - to a much larger extent than you (currently) can on your EV.

It all depends on what makes cars interesting to you, of course - but a lot of the car enthusiast clientele would merrily start tinkering with their pride and joy even if all is well, just because they can.

You’re wasting your time if you have to explain passion and soul, of which these types have neither.

You can still modify an electric car's suspension with shocks, springs, anti roll bars, and performance tires.
