I traded in an Audi TTS for my Tesla Model 3 Performance. The Model 3 has better range (300 miles vs. 200), faster charge time for my use case (I plug it in overnight and never have to visit a gas station), better performance, more storage capacity and a vastly superior media/navigation system. The Audi had a nicer steering wheel and slightly nicer seats. I loved my Audi but the Model 3 is better in almost every way. No contest.

If you need a cheap economy car OR travel extreme distances every day OR if you routinely drive at speeds in excess of 150km/h (90mph) OR if you are unable to charge at home, then electric is probably not going to be for you any time soon. But for everyone else, electric wins your categories.

Charging time: ICE cars take about 5 to 10 minutes to detour to a fuelling station. Electric cars take about 5 to 10 seconds to plug in when you arrive at home.

Power-to-weight: Due to instant torque, most modern electric cars feel a lot faster than their numbers suggest. But sure, if you're in the market for an MX-5, pure electric isn't for you.

Cost: You care about power-to-weight so you're clearly not interested in economy cars. If you want high performance and good range, Tesla models tend to be excellent value relative to their 0–100 times. For most people, cost is still quite high, but this is a relatively short-term problem which will solve itself as manufacturing capacity scales up.

Range: Unlike ICE cars, you wake up every morning with a 'full' electric car. The latest models from VW, Tesla etc have ample range for most people. Unless you spend more than half your day on the road, this isn't a concern.

When you are bitching about EVs and start talking power to weight ratios... it's clear you haven't done your homework. My Model Y is easily the best car I've ever driven in terms of performance, and I didn't even pony up for the fast one.

It takes me 10 seconds to charge on my way into the house so no stop at the gas station.

Range is better than the VW I used to drive, not as good as my Subaru so I'd call it a push. I haven't done any long trips where I really try to nurse the gas so it's hard to say exactly where it lands though.

At a supercharger station, it costs $20 to "Fill the tank", at home, it's half that. But I guess cheap as hell to run isn't in your metrics.

Power to weight ratio is pretty great, no? The acceleration times in the usable speed ranges seems to imply that, at least. I agree that the cost is on the high side, but in terms of utility, it seems pretty great - excellent cargo space, optional 7 seats in a small car for when you really need to carry a couple more, panoramic glass roof. And in terms of charging time, for anyone with the ability to charge at hom, I expect that the lifetime sum of total time spent waiting for a charge will be a good bit lower than time spent navigating to and sitting at gas stations, since you’re not waiting for it while it’s charging overnight.

Against other EVs Tesla wins in all of those, although some people are confused by the up front cost and are ignorant about how the car saves you money.

Against ICE, some ICE cars have longer range but it’s not any kind of issue as long as you are in the developed world since the charging networks are so great and only getting better.

Added weight is an underappreciated problem. Heavier cars mean more tire wear. More tire wear means more pollutants --going back to natural rubber isn't an option either...
