Also when you lift off, the car will brake, it's unique feeling, almost like you can push and pull the car with your foot.
But on the freeway no, it is terrible as the battery can't hold long acceleration. A couple hard pull and the car will go into limp mode.

I can't speak about the Model S, but freeway driving doesn't necessarily change the experience, at least in the M3Performance. You don't get the same kick in the pants off the line when you floor it after a certain threshold as is indicated in the following dyno graph of both a Model 3 and Model 3 Performance
