It's absolutely different. The power delivery is kinda bizarre feeling. An immediate slam of go with the throttle. My E90 of course has to have its neck wrung, which is fun and has its charm, but I guess I'm enamored by the efficiency of it. You feel like the throttle is connected to the wheels themselves, which it basically is, and you FEEL that. That's why it's so weird and foreign. It's not the rubber band turbo throttle response (used to drive modded 1 N55) or the "immediacy" of the S65 throttle. It truly redefines it and makes you reset your barometer to the degree thatif anyone drives the car and doesn't say "holy shit" with the first stab of the throttle I'd be very surprised. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but I'm pretty smitten.
And on the music front, I've got a couple amps, pedalboard, and all that, and I typically pick up my Martin 000 acoustic when I want to jam. Just pick it up and go. Raw, unfiltered, no fiddling with knobs, setting my reverb just right, whatever. To being it full circle, the Tesla sort of also offers that - simplicity.
