100ms of gear shifts is 100ms more than an eletric car without multiple gears. Engines need time to rev fast, that's the problem yes. I don't know what you mean by good engineered ICE engine because I don't drive the worst at all and it's not good. Do you mean the super sporty 600kW ICE engines you find in supercars that cost a fortune to maintain and pollutes a lot? Hybrids are shit in my humble opinion. You have the worst of both worlds, and not the best. Weight is a problem but weight distribution is important too. And yes Tesla cars are heavy, as is tradition with American cars : a lot of torque and power, heavy, shitty brakes. But I think that any car today is much faster than what you need. The roads are not a race.
