My understanding is Tesla is the premium electric car. I have not driven any others but I have never thought the Leaf or Volt drove like a high end sports car. I might be wrong.

The Tesla drives better then most cars. It is faster then most cars. It crashs tests better. Gets better gas milage. Has less moving parts. Should be easier to service. Etc. It is better in so many metrics. Granted I don't care equally about all of those but it is a ton of fun to drive. The instant acceleration is really cool.

I would equate it to the first time I tried an iphone. The instant realization that this was better in almost every way.
