honestly, i don't care how the motors "feel" as long as they are tuned for high torque and power. i'm more addicted to the instant torque and no downshifts than listening to engine noise and feeling the vibrations.

my guess is different brands will have different low end vs top end characteristics. also, it's gonna be a clash of expertise and engineering to see who can produce an EV with consistent track performance. rightnow no brand has cracked that.
