If I had something like this to replace the SRX (currently looking towards a Blazer EV SS) it would be just fine. It would not be the replacement for either of my weekend fun cars. But it would make everyday errand running a ton more fun.

The problem is every random person and EV owner thinks any EV (that's not a Bolt or Leaf) has supercar acceleration because of the AWD and instant torque. I've talked to a lot of people that think essentially any Tesla will beat cars like Mustang GTs and Camaro SSs (sure, some of them win 0-60, but only a few can actually beat those cars from a roll), and think they are as fast as ZL1s and other near supercars.
It seems they all have this reputation thanks to the P85D/P100D and similar trims from Tesla that rocket to 60 mph then die off after 80+.
