Drive and Feel are the main reasons I like EVs, absolutely awesome.
I liked the 1 pedal driving with regenerative braking. . .But to me, the biggest thing was how responsive the feel was.
On ICE engines, when you push the gas pedal, there is considerable delay, and then the car really ramps up.
On EV motors, you touch the accelerator, and immediately you get response from your engine, which I love.

Also the low and centralized center of gravity also gave a really nice feel when going up and down mountain roads.

Unfamiliar amd unenjoyable at first; you take your foot off EV accelerator. . . You feel a jerk because you immediately remove that much power from the electric motor (And most Tesla's are set up to initiate regenerative braking as well). ICE engines will not remove the power immediately and that lag helps remove any jerkiness from taking your foot off the gas immediately. This took a solid hour before I had removed this from my driving. Old habits die hard I guess.
