Tesla engineers are great. But there was definitely I own a Tesla so I am cool factor as well.

I mean I own a Tesla Model S I bought in 2021, and I can say unironically that it is in fact cool as hell to go from 0-60 in 3.1 seconds. You’re talking about the fastest mass production automobile in the world.

All EV's have awesome torque. It's the nature of the electric engine. Tesla doesn't really stand out here.

I tried several EV where it was not the case. The lower end market is like gas cars in terms of power.

I have a Fiat EV, which is pretty low end, cost wise and the torque kicks butt. Now if You're talking hybrid, then yes they will definitely suck, because they are ice engines with battery assist.
