I agree, and I feel the author uses "handling" in a nonconventional manner. I typically see it used to refer to cornering, steering feedback, and overall nimbleness. He seems to equate it to controlling acceleration in a straight-line.

Also, the majority of supercars also come with "push the pedal and forget" multi-clutch transmissions, that make the pedal experience similar to the Tesla.

The post boils down to someone thinking the Tesla is a really cool car, which I agree with.
