My Tesla’s 0-60 makes a huge difference in normal driving, because the acceleration profile at low speeds is a lot more “do the right thing now”. Driving my minivan or other ICE cars feels laggy to me now.

This is the sense I was trying to communicate.

I'm not flooring it, but when I make a speed adjustment, it happens 'right away'. There is no delay. Its immediate.

A lot of that is the automatic transmission in ICE drivetrains. a manual transmission delivers immediate acceleration but still not as good as a Tesla
