Tesla has a setting "Chill" that throttles down the torque to a civilized level making it easy to drive in local traffic and perfectly acceptable on the highway. On my particular car (a dual motor Y) that means 0-60 mph in about 7 seconds vs. 4.5 seconds in the standard setting, but more to the point, it won't throw your head back against the seat when accelerating from a stop, which your passengers will in particular appreciate. This does not affect the maximum speed of about 145 mph for those suicidal enough to care. I found it very easy to drive after about a week to get used to the semi-automatic braking.
Note that the performance of a Tesla varies depending on whether the battery is warmed up, state of charge, and prevailing conditions. They are (obviously I suppose) higher performance under optimal conditions.
Edit - someone above mentioned that Teslas do not require much maintenance. The "official" maintenance schedule for current (2023-2024) vehicles in the U.S. is rotate tires every 6500 mlles and replace as needed, replace the cabin air filter every 2-4 years, replace the HEPA air filter as needed (maybe never), top off the windshield wiper fluid, and replace the wiper blades as needed. I think that we are supposed to check the friction brake pads occasionally, but they are little used and should not require replacement. And that is all. Very nice!
