Alt text: An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.
minus-squareLeFantome@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down10·5 months agoThis is the true valid complaint against electric. Electric vehicles are super boring to drive, even when they have insanely good performance. It is not just the lack of noise and vibration. Too consistent maybe? It is like going fast in a video game. Something is just missing in an EV.
