The "experience" isn't there. You want to hear the roar of the engine, the smell of rubber, to know that you're harnessing something wild and dangerous, satisfying your primal instinct.
My brother rode and drove a tesla (because a guy down the street bought one) and he was thoroughly impressed with the smell of new car, but TOTALLY unimpressed with the experience and disappointed. With all the torque it put down, he was surprised at the way he felt about it, stating that "something was missing".
I remember watching a blurb on tv about Toyota playing with installing noise makers in there cabins on the hybrid cars to simulate car noises. I would just make the noises myself (I do already for my cars stuck in the driveway, to keep them from getting lonely). My little boy is really good at it, and can keep himself entertained for hours, steering through all kinds of imagined terrains and weather, skidding and saving traction from the jaws of the most difficult hairpin turns in the world with the precision of a fighter pilot. All the while, making those noises. Tesla should come and sample some of them to put in there audio systems! You'd see a lot of grinning tesla drivers.
