> That's probably good UX if your market target is first-time EV buyer's

The F-150 FX4 truck I'm driving lately has a "sport mode" that completely changes the character of the acceleration and the "pedal feel" when driving. Why couldn't Mazda do the same thing?

> many people aren't looking for fun in a car, and aren't interested in aggressive driving.

I feel like those two factors aren't actually mutually inclusive.

> cars is tuned to the characteristics the designers want,

Why does that have to be the case? We allow customization and control of every other device in our lives, why not EV cars?



They do on my gas CX-5 - a sport/normal mode fore the power curve and also a partly manual shifting mode or I can leave it in drive.
