    Every once in a while I want the sound effects for my EV. Some of the most iconic “muscle” cars are just sound effect so it’s the same thing.

    • if a mustang is all sound effect, my EV should be able to sound d the same
    • if a Subaru has fake shift points with its CVT to help the car bros feel more comfortable, why can’t my EV

    I want to come up to a red light in my EV and out-rev the corvette next to me

      I want to be able to choose my own noise (being fully aware why that is a bad idea more broadly). Can you imagine driving through the grocery store parking lot making a TIE fighter sound?

        The problem is I do think it’s a good idea (but retro “space invaders” sounds). There’s a good argument that cars moving walking speed near a pedestrian’s ought to make enough noise to ensure the pedestrians are aware of them. I’d rather be annoyed by the noisy eenvironment than run over

        Once it’s intentional to do this then yes, why not pick your own?
