But on topic, I think it has been pretty much covered that enthusiasts are unfortunately not a volume market and they are a business. Which sucks, because I also agree that there are very few modern cars I would be interested in today. Would find a used C7 Z06 / ZR1, Cobra, ZL1, GTR etc. if I was to look at another performance car.
Not just Model S. Model 3 Performance would take you down in a drag or a roll. A Model Y Performance might be a driver's race. The new updated Model Y Performance that just launched would smoke(?) an SS.

Just like with gas cars, trim means a lot when talking performance. For Tesla Model 3 and Model Y you would need the Performance trim. For Hyundai Ioniq 5 you would need the Ioniq 5N, for Kia EV6 you would need the EV6 GT. Then there's the Blazer EV SS. Chevrolet says it is the fastest SS ever. But a Blazer EV any other trim, not so much.
