I think EV technology makes perfect sense as a technology for commuting from point a to point b, but for the enthusiast I think EV technology falls short.
A year ago I felt similar; no engine, no gearshift, no challenge? I love driving 'crap' cars, Fiat Panda, my old Citroen VISA GT (400 quid), etc. because they offer a challenge; "Can I get it round that bend?" I don't enjoy accomplished cars; my old A6 because I was only a passenger, even at warp 9 round an off-camber curve; An R8 is my hell.
It took me a while to realise that the Roadster matches my definition of a crap car; more power than the chassis can handle. It's not that the chassis is lacking in this case though, the power is just so great. That realization came the first time I turned in with a boot full of thrust from the rear and had it 'power understeer' - that never happen in my 1.8 Vauxhall Carlton, but it did happen on my Ducatti.
My Tesla feels every bit as exciting and dangerous as the old duke but couple that to a warm, comfortable and cosy cockpit and I'm in heaven.
Now I enjoy the same limitless power at any rpm that the duke had, feathering the power through a tight bend to balance just the right amount of steering; lovely.
