People pay attention when they hear a louder car approaching from behind and don't do unexpected lane changes. And often get out of the way too.

Pull up in a Model 3 and you might as well have appeared out of nowhere.
I had my model 3 performance for 1 month before I said "fuck this thing" and put in an order for my AWD M3. You are right, no one really hears you when you pull up which is sketchy. All juice basically dies around 60-70 mph, so the thrill of the car only exists from a standstill. But the sketchiest part of the car is that it is basically run by a tablet which has reliability of a budget Amazon firepad rather than a polished, meticulously tested iPad. When that sucker blacks out, which it has for me several times, you basically have no idea what's going on in your car and you're driving blind. Electric is certainly the future, but Tesla sure as hell ain't there yet.
