I have never heard any serious automotive journalist come up with that sort of comparison.

Numb steering, crashy handling, that’s what the gearheads seem to say about Tesla vehicles.

They go fast but they are absolutely not at the top of the class for driving dynamics.

I’ve test driven a Model Y Performance and the steering was lighter and more numb than my basic economy car. The car goes fast but that’s all it does.

If the roadster has drive by wire like the cybertruck that’s going to be even worse.

Maybe if you don't like driving? It's really a solid car. Much better than the WRX, which is quite good. Make sure you set steering to low assist. The performance models in general are serious machines. Top of class in their price range by a long shot.
