I'm guessing these are the types who make theirs stupid loud and have those tail pipes with it so they can feel like a man and a racecar driver. The types who buy a huge truck but never use it to haul anything.

Insanely loud engines and music should be illegal. How are they not disturbing the peace?

When I was younger I'd rev my motorcycle in the school parking lot like an asshole to attract girls. If I tried that with an electric car I'd have to actually develop a likeable personality because theyd be able to hear me when I'd talk. Fuck that

"car no do revving? car no good!"

The fact that car companies had to add MP3 files of engine sounds to win people over is stupid. There's some serious small dick energy that comes with disliking cars for their (lack of) engine noises.

I get it but if you look at it while taking away the obvious small dick masculinity side of things, theres something to be said about having developed a comforting asmr reaction to an engine sound.

Meh, disliking the lack of engine sound is comparable to people who dislike a car because it's too loud. Or any of the other countless reasons to like/dislike any vehicle on the road. There is a reason cars come in a wide variety.

It's just as disturbing and annoying as a stupidly loud engine. I can't count how many times I've had to listen to assholes bump their bullshit in the middle of the night. Plenty of times I've been woken up to "BOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" or whatever.

The highway is one thing, but within the city limits it should be turned down.

I actually had this happen to me last night. It woke me up out of a deeper sleep and I legitimately felt sick, like I woke up into fever my body was using to fight something off.

I'm opposed to installing those aftermarket Pep Boys fart cannons that teenagers and otherwise immature people install on their old beaters, but I can appreciate a properly tuned exhaust note from the factory.

My car has a 6 cylinder and I like its exhaust note after a cold start and how it sounds when I get it into the upper RPMs.

i will admit, the first time i drove a hybrid car (it was the ford fusion i think) i had no idea if it was on or not. i pushed the button, nothing really changed, and sat there thinking it was a dud. then my fiancee was like "what are you doing, put it in drive" and sure enough it went.

"Hating" electric cars because of this is dumb, but this is a legitimate complaint.

Engine sounds have multiple benefits:

1) They sound cool
2) They are part of the driving experience. Removing them could make something feel "off"
3) They alert people on the street that a car is there

Electric cars should have the option for fake engine noises tbh, doesn't seem like it would be that difficult. Imagine if you were driving a Prius that sounds like a muscle car.

what the hell

The engine sounds were added to hybrid cars at the request of the Braille Institute back in the mid 2000s. Blind pedestrians were being struck by accident because the hybrid engine ran so silently they never knew there was a running car with a driver behind the wheel.

Well yeah being noiseless is bad.

Waking people up at 2AM with Screamo concert level VROOMS is also bad.

there was a fight last night by the next door neighbors.... at 2am. quite an enjoyment to look forward to when trying to sleep.
and to top it off they rammed over the trash cans and fucked up the paint on the back of my roommates car (he bought it several month's ago). it's still new imo.

I hate the low range on them. I wouldnt mind a cross country roadtrip in a gasoline vehicle. Diesel vehicles less so because its a bit more difficult to find diesel stations. And worse yet Ive not really seen any electric refueling stations.
