    Yeah, I’ve watched Top Fuel races in person. They’re pretty awe inspiring.

    Electric engines essentially have 100% of torque available at minimal RPM, it doesn’t need to ramp up like an ICE.

    And it doesn’t take anything exotic to hit the traction limit, just more current. As long as the ECSs were rated to handle the current and, if not, you can upgrade them (manufacturer software fuckery aside).

    The best way to sell EVs in the US is to focus on their performance and not their climate impact. Partisanship makes the latter a non-starter, but everyone can appreciate a car with the power to move when you want it to.
