I will say, Teslas usually have too much torque because I feel very nauseous in them as a passenger. Having more fine grained control over the torque profile might be nice

The reason you feel nauseous as a passenger has nothing to do with the maximum torque output of the vehicle, but because one-pedal driving mode amplifies bad driving habits by people who never learned how to use the accelerator pedal on a car properly.

Way too many people stomp, release, and repeat. This works in Mario Kart when the A-button input is a boolean value but in a Tesla with one-pedal driving turned on you end up repeatedly accelerating or decelerating and never go a constant speed.

Sure, but this isn't a Tesla...

If you're going to drive this slowly you might as well buy a Tesla

    Model S Plaid has faster acceleration than Luce and they have similar top speed.

    Reportedly, the Luce has more nimble handling.

      People don’t get sports cars just for the acceleration.

    • The casio watch is more accurate than a mechanical watch, it doesn't mean I should like it more

  • Tesla model S accelerates faster and has a higher top speed, and also more range on a smaller battery....

    For a absolutely tiny fraction of the price!

    It also looks better than this Nissan leaf knock-off!

    I'm not the target market, this thing costs more than my house! But I do think the specs are... Disappointing...
