After the dodge charger electric fake V8 engine noise, Ferrari is following
I guess that people who buy these cars have a need for emotive support and very poor self esteem, and need to bother everyone else when there is absolutely no need for it.
Fuck cars
This is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Car go vrrrmmm vrrrmmm like it's marketed to actual children.
yeah but imagine if you could swap the sound set to someone mumbling brummbrummbrummbrbrbrbr
I'm all for this as long as we get custom novelty engine sounds. I would drive a Ferrari that makes cheesy engine sounds like a person impersonating a car with their voice. Floor the accellerator and it literally screams "Vroooom!". Coast around a parking lot while your car gently scats.
Imagine starting your car and it making the Macintosh boot sound, then tearing down the interstate with dialup modem sounds blasting.
/s (I don't even own a car)
So I hate loud cars (well, all cars) and this idea is so stupid to me. That said, if it gets some people who would have bought an ICE because they can't live without pissing off the neighborhood to instead buy an EV, I guess that's net better. I've got more important things to get upset over
I mean its important that they make some small noises so that cyclists can hear them approaching, but we need laws that minimize those noises so they dont become noise pollution
