It’s like alcohol-free beer or fake meat.

You can’t sit around for an hour or two charging your Daytona. Once a rival gang finds out you’re stuck at a charger it’s drive-by time.

This won’t fly in the ‘hood.

Ford Mustangs have been faking a V8 exhaust sound through their sound system speakers for years.

That way you can drive a four banger and pretend you’re in a V8 GT.

For $1,600 you can buy a sound system that makes your homo EV sound like it has testosterone: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a41846718/borla-ev-v8-sound-kit/

I’ve been saying for years that EV’s are too quiet, and should have some kind of functional sound added to the system. Ask a blind person how hard it is to know if the traffic is clear, or if there might still be a EV hurtling toward them at X mph.

Why buy such a POS?

Part of driving a car is the feel, smell, look and sounds. Going through the gears, feeling the car in the steering...

The EV is about as exciting as a BMW motorcycle. A technological marvel, super reliable, which sounds like nothing, feels like nothing, and looks like nothing.

EV’s are vehicles for people that have long debates with themselves over what pronoun is right for them.

Patents are not the great innovations they used to tend to be.

You need to reconsider. The AWD Daytona blows away the Hellcat. Designed to sound like the Hellcat. Even jerks like a ICE transmission.
