This is the main point. It takes a while to unlearn the habit of just flooring the pedal and trusting the slow response time of the ICE to smooth it out. Even a basic EV will haul ass immediately and with no noise.
Combine that with Tesla's (and others) 1-pedal driving where lifting off the pedal will essentially brake, you've got a bunch of learning to do.
