    I’m very much in the market at the moment but I’ve not seen the other options in the price range with what appeals to me the most: the quickness and fun to drive aspect. Are there actually others comparable to say an m3 performance?

      Even my Volt can do a burnout, every EV is going to have a lot of torque. But in this price range, a Kia ev6 or a Ford Mach-e would be better choices. You also have the Nissan Leaf or the Chevy Bolt for fwd options.

      Pretty much any BEV is going to have a similar driving profile. Electric motors imply the high torque that gives you the crazy acceleration and resistive breaking. It’s not really a “Tesla thing”, it’s an electric motor thing.

      Now, some models might not have as much oompf, similar to how some Teslas are faster than others … but all the ones I know of from GM or Ford are going to be pretty fun to drive.

        Seriously. My Nissan Leaf in Eco mode (which limits acceleration) feels peppy and is super fun to drive.
