    With the right setup

    Yeah. That’s the entire point. The engineering changes the experience drastically. You can’t just say watts are watts and be done with it. Its a reductive approach to do so.

      Yeah but the point is given a certain amount of watts, there’s a maximum speed to lift no matter what the setup is. And it doesn’t matter whether you measure that power in Watts, horsepower or Pferdestärke - the maximum speed to lift a given weight is the same.

          Yes, sometimes. My wife’s car is a Tesla 3. And yes the feel is very different. But the bottom line physics is still the same.

            Its not “bottom line physics is the same” because the fucking aren’t. The actual construction of the fucking vehicle and its power train matters. This why everyone is dismissive of your point. You just straight up wrong here.

            Go load up your wife’s Tesla 3 with 1k lbs of cinder blocks, and then find an equivalent stated HP ICE vehicle and do the same. Drive both of them up the same hill and tell me its the same thing. And if you TRULY want to experience the difference, find a manual transmission ICE equivalent.
