I'm not sure the ICE to electric modding comparison is apples to apples. With an ICE car, turning up the boost comes with a tradeoff in most cases - reliability. Not all ICE motors are detuned turbo motors. Many times, hardware (intake, exhaust, etc) needs to be added and then a custom tune is needed to extract power. Want more power? More hardware and more tuning.Lots of ICE manufacturers do that. The bargain basement 3 series (320 etc) is basically software limited in boost. They just don't give you the option to upgrade.
It's much different knowing that the Taycan motor combo could offer a max output of, for example, 800hp equivalent but is software limited across models. In other words, ICE cars give you a baseline power, and then you need to figure out how much power you can push (and how much it will cost) before things break. Electric cars are more transparent in showing the upper limits of the platform.
