Yeah, the Model 3 actually handles surprisedly well since the battery is mounted so low in the chassis. The handling is similar to the BMW/Audi sedans. It is not as sharp as true sports cars like the Corvette or Camaro SS but you feel you are in a sporty handling car. For reference, with the Michelin PS4S tires it will pull .95g lateral skid pad. This is where I could see GM building a sports car EV and include all of their expertise they have on chassis design, magnetic ride suspension, etc.
Furthermore, Tesla doesn’t offer any kind of drive modes or control over the nannies. It would also be nice to control the torque split in AWD models. These are the kinds of things I would expect in an EV based Camaro.
