That's why drag racing ICE is fun, because it's a personal challenge everytime.

Personally, i don't find drag racing fun, but I wouldn't want to take that away from anyone that enjoys it, however, there are a few local Tesla Model 3 owners in my area that are regulars at the road courses, and they put up very good times, and they look like they are having a lot of fun.

I went to the charging station ONCE in my 2019 i3. Just once in 3 years. To me, it was actually more convenient than an ICE because I never had to go to the gas station. I understand that not everyone will share this experience, but you also stated that "Waiting for 20 minutes to recover 120 miles of range they see as inconvenient.". Well, I've never experienced that either. The problem is that
you're trying to fit the EV paradigm into an ICE paradigm. These are different tools for different tasks.
Also " ICE people don't need to charge at home because they can recharge 400 miles of range in 5 minutes, practically anywhere any time they want." They can't gas up at home, so that's really not anywhere and anytime they want. I'm being nit-picky, I know, but to be fair, so are you. I don't need 400 miles of range, and I don't need to refuel 400 miles from home because that's not what I used my EV for. I had an 80 mile commute, it was perfect for that, and it did the job better than an ICE.
