Which ICE performance car? I went from an SRT8 back in 2012 to a Tesla Model 3 performance + mods and now most recently went back to ICE via an AMG GT63. I can confidently say that the GT63 is leagues more fun than the Tesla ever was. Sure the Tesla was quick off the line, but outside of that it felt sterile and the ride was quite uninspired.

Model 3's didn't exist in 2012. Did you mean something else? I've driven an M3P for 5 years, and I wouldn't call it sterile.

I haven't been cross shopping it with vehicles that cost 3x as much and get only 15% of the mileage, so maybe I'm missing something? But weighing 10% more and taking 20% longer to reach 60 doesn't seem particularly compelling.

If it's the only car you've driven for five years of course it doesn't feel sterile, it's a wonderful car, and nothing against it, but it is not a fun car / "enthusiast" car insofar as enthusiast refers to the thin slice of all automotive enthusiasts that are primarily interested in handling that is dynamic and communicative

I don't understand what you're trying to say here, but clearly we disagree. To each their own.
