between 7.2 and 8.0

between 5.5 and 8.7

So slower by 0.7 sec? Unless only you are allowed to cherry pick from the data.

Pick a performance version

Okay then pick a performance ICE SUV to compare to and not a Subaru Outback.

Constant torque

This isnt the 1950s. Most vehicles have very flat torque curves when they're in the power and high gear counts in their auto transmissions to provide this, as well.

If you like EVs that's fine but the driving dynamics of EVs and ICEs is basically the same when actually in use.

The Subaru is specifically the rare higher performance engine, so comparing them to the higher performance versions of comparable EVs would be the only fair thing to do.

Absolutely not, but hey, whatever you want to believe that makes you happy.
