> more fun to drive

I’d argue the opposite, but it’s certainly subjective. Driving my sister’s Model 3 was leagues below my cheap little BRZ, and it’s still slower than my motorcycles if I want to accelerate fast. The suspension is crap. Body roll was astoundingly bad and the front end doesn’t want to push you through corners when trail braking. I was excited to drive it, but after 500 miles of backroads and open freeway I firmly believe a cheap sports car is a much better driving experience.

BRZ/GR86 are ridiculously fun to drive. There is just no comparison in that price range, other than Miata.
I've never driven a cheap sports car, so I might agree with you. However, my subjective take is, between otherwise similar non-sports cars, the EV is more fun to drive. For a few reasons, I can't realistically have a purely fun car at the moment.
I think, then, you're the perfect target for a well-established EV platform. Don't listen to naysayers, I'm sure you're not a shill l(ike this whole thread seems to think about anyone pro-EV.)

Personally, I'm in a spot where my "perfect car" is a cheap sports car with two seats and a bunch of turbo lag. But I can see the appeal of having main car be an electric horsepower monster with a squishy ride.
