Fake exhaust/engine sound on electric vehicles is very high up there in clown fiat things 🤦♂️
Discussion
🤣🤣
True
Hahah yup 🤙
Just throw some whistletips on there and get it over with…
I kind of like the Porsche Electric Sound Fx
everything is fake about electric vehicles
Nah
battery will last 8 years maybe, then you can throw the car away because replacing the battery is more expensive than the value of the car.
does not charge in cold weather
you can be shut off remotely. you need to ask for permission to work on your car. it is not your car
where do you think the energy for the batteries is generated? oil or coal or gas of course. wind? really ? another scam
electric cars are fire hazards,you cannot park them in underground parking in germany for example. illegal.
charging is already illegal in many places in the world where they ration energy
electric cars are another hoax
I’ve owned an electric vehicle for over 3 years and I live in a very cold country.
- after 3 years, battery has not degraded at all
- charges fine in -20 degrees
- all electricity here is hydro generated
- no restrictions on parking
- have had 0 issues. Best car I have owned
that's my experience as well. And for the battery, even if it's only 8 years, cost of replacement will be ok bc of improved recycling and fastly decreasing $/kwh
What's your thoughts on surveillance capacity and potential for remote locking? (thinking situations like the trucker protest for eg where govt went mad)
The remote locking stuff is fucked up, but has nothing to do with if the car is electric or fossil fueled. As long as there is a wifi connection it can be done.
that is about the signal. hacking the signal or shutting off/disabling the device blocking the car are two different things
A WiFi signal that is built in tho, which most fossil fuel vehicles don't have (yet) right?
Am aware California said all new vehicles being made starting in 2025 need to be able to be remotely locked/shut off, so fucked
I’m of the impression that most high end cars have this? But yeah, I’m the future it will apply to all.
Guess I will need to own an old gasoline guzzler to get around when my social credit score gets too low
Can confirm my gas-powered car has this.
Don’t give EV apologists like myself ammunition! 😅
What year is it? I am thinking imma just stay with older models, might need to do a zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance mission and learn to fix them myself!
good luck that it will stay this way
Interesting feedback, thank you!
By chance I came across this video this morning, on the same topic.
How’s the battery life and charge time?
Around 420km range. Full charge in 30 mins or so.
That’s a lot better on the charge time than I expected. Can only hope there’s room for improvement from there.
Both battery capacity and charge speeds are improving fast so will only become better
hope is not a good advisor.
electric cars are neither innovative nor sustainable:

Hope? I’m saying I’m superbly happy with the car after three years and have had zero issues with range or any technical problem.
I have understood that you have a problem with ev’s but it seems like you don’t have much experience owning one
Agreed. Three years into EV ownership. Zero issues. Best car I’ve ever owned. Some people just can’t be convinced.
The problem with EVs is not the cars themselves, they're great if you're doing short trips or city driving. The problem is that the distribution networks cannot support large numbers of EVs without suffering from voltage collapse.
The reason they're being pushed is that a flexible load is needed on the transmission network to absorb the intermittent renewables.
so you can only go 400km or less before you have to look for a charging station. as you know many charging stations do not allow charging any more. even if you find a charging station you wait 30 minutes for charging it? how inconvenient and stressful
Well, I’ve travelled my country far and wide, sometimes driving 800km a day, with zero issues. There are superchargers everywhere and whenever you add a destination outside your range it automatically includes a stop at a supercharger (that never requires a detour)
I'm doing very regular back and forth trips of 800km per leg. It takes me approx 60min more on a leg than when I was doing it with combustion engine. Combustion or EV, I stop max every 300km anyway just to get out of the car for a while.
Exactly. A break after 300km isn’t exactly what I would classify as inconvenient
Tell me if I'm wrong but your comments feel like you're pushing all the sparse negative things you've heard over the years about EV but don't actually use one for yourself to test your hypothesis.
Prefer diesel power, secure and reliable up to 1100 km on 5 min charge , and I can take several jerrycans with fuel to refuel if needed . Energy security is important
It’s one of many variables that are important in a car. I wouldn’t buy a car based only on this. If the world continues to deteriorate I’ll get a diesel car for this reason though.
But diesel is perishable and in such a world I doubt the pumps will stay operational
The diesel engine is one of the greatest inventions in history. It is a multi-fuel engine. It doesn't have to run on petroleum derived diesel fuel. It's your best bet for mobility in a worst case scenario like you're talking about.
same here. Even though I enjoy my EV, if things get worse, I'll get myself a combustion engine car that I'll keep safe just in case. And it's pretty sure I'll buy a rugged combustion 4x4 right before they prohibit sale in 2035 in EU. That is, if I still live in EU by then 🤡
At the speed things are moving, I think the whole clown climax moment will be well before 2035.
the great awakening is here
and people will not tolerate all those hoaxes to make some rich people richer
most of the world ignores this lunacy
combustion engines are cleaner and are the future
Haha funny. I have a 2013 model s with 155km on it. Still have 370km range, parked outdoors all year long in norway. Best car ever. Still rips new cars 0-60 and free supercharge. Only issue has been some suspension and AC.. also for some reason it eat breaks. But im averaging around 15k nok in maintanance a year not bad considering what i save on fuel and service etc. Gonna drive it until it falls apart or burns me alive
sorry to tell you that apart from your 3rd point (being shut off remotely), all other points are just not true.
This.
And the shut off remotely part applies equally to modern fossil cars
Not equally….
No? You don’t think a 2023 gasoline car can be remotely disabled?
Someone has been drinking the propaganda. Almost everything you said here is complete bullshit
I tried to zap you
Have you tried it? It can support the drive experience (in my opinion)
You don’t need feedback of fake engine sound when you have learned to know your car. Not tried it
Would like to electric sound pill you in a Taycan Turbo S
I’m already electric pilled for 4 years. Just not fake engine sound pilled :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tesla did it to appease the NTSB because they were concerned about pedestrians not being able to hear the approaching vehicle. They actually installed little speakers in the body of the vehicle.
None in mine 🤷♂️
🤣🤣 If a person needs the sound of an engine that bad, maybe getting a silent car isn't a good idea. 🤣
LOL I'll never forget this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvZ68P3xffg
Highly cringeable
At least Pininfarina tried to make it futuristic.
Hmmm for the driver yes… for the people who might have hearing disabilities or elderly and children it might be helpful so bit divided on this
It’s the driver’s task to not hit people. I always drive like no one can hear me coming, regardless of if I’m driving a noisy car or not
Yeah but it’s important for people who are walking, biking, etc. to hear you coming.
It’s an extra safety measure for when not everything goes right.
This is not exactly what you’re talking about. My Mini is smoothly silent but plays a harmonious noise below 20mph or thereabouts; it’s a pedestrian warning thing. Useful and totally acceptable.
Something else yes
Although I argee, I believe the reason is based on the fact that electric engines are so quite; the lack of sound fools people to think they are safe going into the cars’ paths. https://www.evehicletechnology.com/videos/electric-vehicles-can-be-dangerous-due-to-their-quietness/
Oh, the fake exhaust/engine sound on electric vehicles, what a clown fiesta indeed! It's as if someone thought, "Hey, let's take this quiet and environmentally friendly mode of transportation and add some unnecessary noise to simulate the good ol' gas-guzzling experience." A true masterpiece of clownery! 🤡🚗💨
