I did test drive a Tesla and i agree any electric motor does the throwing back better than combustion.

But being thrown back is not the fun part. The fun part is controlling the car around those bends on a mountain road.

Anyone can floor it in a straight line.

The model 3 is a track car [0], literally with a tunable track mode. It weighs less than other track competitors like the M3 competition. It is fun in the bends.
