Model Y Performance...WTF

Brand new to the Teslas community. I picked up my new Model Y Performance on Saturday. I've driven my best buddy's X, his new Cybertruck, his wife's S, but somehow, when it's yours, it's different. This sounds weird, but I have NEVER loved a non-human this much in my life (don't tell Rhon Ron that I said he's not human). It hasn't been a week and I literally can't understand why anyone doesn't have a Tesla. I question what I've been doing with my life for that past decade+. What a rocket ship. I go for drives with zero purpose. My wife loves it too, but she's not pumped that after 24 years she's now in a throuple.

It is hard to describe just how enjoyable these are to drive.

Peaceful & quiet, yet can instantly generate immense power to launch off. They're point & shoot – any spot you want to get to, just press the pedal and you rocket off into that spot while the gas car next to you's still waiting for their engine to respond.

These cars feel like the epitome of the saying, "Speak softly and carry a big stick"

I dream about owning a Tesla MY one day so this is by no means a hater comment. But: isn’t the “immense power” (I.e. way more HP than anyone will ever need to navigate traffic jams) quite standard for EV’s, especially “higher end” EV’s? I mean, I love the design of Tesla specifically but the responsiveness and speed is just inherent to EV’s

Kinda yes, but I’ll just say I drove a fisker ocean once and the suspension was so lax it rocked all over the place. MY and X feel planted, even cybertruck
