You missed my point: I like the noise and smell "side effects", I don't want a purified experience.

And what you call "work" below is what I think is fun. I'm not saying a Tesla isn't fun to drive, it's just not the experience I want.

Shifting, working three pedals, all that crazy noise from the engine and the transmission - and the car was delivering much less than the Tesla. Sure, it has 200hp over the Model 3 AWD, but you just can't get much benefit from that on the street. The 0-20 torque advantage of the electric motor, on the other hand, is very usable in the same conditions.
