There’s much more to enjoying cars than speed in a straight line, which I do not disagree at all most EVs are exceptional at. Booting the go pedal at every stop sign or light just feels like being a bit of a childish jerk after a short whil

I can’t say I’m in the business of asking 10 or more friends to confirm this, but any number they provide without knowing the car is a guess at best, and likely erroring on side of caution. A Google search with the car model in the query vi
