The Jaguar iPace is a bit slower than the KIA, but handles very well by all accounts
The Jaguar iPace is quicker than than the EV6, about 4.5 sec to 60 vs about 7.5 for the Kia. Aside from aTesla, the Jag is one of the quickest EV’s out there.

However, having had a BMW i3 (which is also about 7.5 secs to 60) it was very rarely beaten from the lights and great fun to drive. We had 3 great years with it, then went with a hybrid for a while but really missed that instant torque, so came back to the EV with an iPace. The iPace is a fantastic car.
The Tesla's are amazingly quick, and not that expensive for so much get up and go.
M3P is a deadly low level flying machine.
Whats not to like about 3,1 seconds to 60, and a top bat of 165 mph.
Weight?
Not much heavier than my diesel hatchback 3 series.

Musk being a douche seems to bother a lot of people, but I'm not convinced that is uncommon at that level in the industry, the others just have the sense to keep their obnoxious views to themselves. People still buy VWs after their corporate behaviour. Wouldn't bother me.
