but is your powerful (not even a little bit insecure) masculinity being projected effectively??

I ask myself that every day in my dorky little EV. Sure, it will beat nearly any truck up to 60 mph, but it doesn't blow black smoke out of the side and it doesn't sound like marbles rattling in a steel can. I tried putting a playing card in the wheel spokes but it was still too quiet.

Maybe it needs speakers on the back like one of the new chargers.

speakers on the back like those new chargers

How anyone could drive one of those without feeling like a total doofus the whole time, I'll never know...

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

To be fair they seem to have trouble selling them.

I'm amazed that people keep trying to make evs loud rather than marketing the quiet as a selling point. Run an ad of a man quietly slipping out to get an anniversary present after he forgot or not waking his baby or something like that. These companies are great at manufacturing desire, I believe in their ability to do it for this

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Exactly, the quiet is the best part. Allegedly my EV is quieter on the road than a Rolls-Royce.

Sometime around 2020 they made a rule that they had to make some kind of noise. My car is older than that, and I have startled enough cyclists to understand why its needed.

Yeah, doesn't growl and make an angry fuss. It's all so graceful.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's also, to me, relaxing.

I don't have to worry about the bands/clutches in the transmission, I don't have to worry about bad gas, I don't have to worry about what this or that engine noise means, I just have to plug it in.
