However like I said, I buy cars for their handling and how they feel. I don't care if it can go 0-60 in 2-seconds if it doesn't provide any feedback or engagement. Its a problem I find with not only Tesla but the Taycan (which I've also driven) and the M5 (even ICE vehicles have this issues) which is fast but numb.
I'm not looking for a novocaine racer to launch at stop-lights, I want backroad cruises and track days, which is why I have a Z4 M, I like a naturally aspirated motor that sounds great and revs high in the RPM range, a sweet 6-speed manual gearbox, and communicative hydraulic steering all with the top down. Show me an electric car that can do those things and you will have my money.
As for EV's taking over the tracks, I have yet to see that happen.

Lots of guys and companies are modding Teslas to make them track day ready, but we are not even talking about track day cars as that's a completely different topic all together.
The topic is should people hate performance SUV? I think it's silly to hate a vehicle that can carry people and things fast and efficiently from point A and B. That's what a car is literally designed for! If a person want to carry more things fast like with a RSQ8 to go to point B, it's more power to him! If you want ultimate efficiency in terms of your money to do that job, don't get a RSQ8, get a performance Model Y.
If you want to track day car, get an Atom.
