    After getting an EV myself, the vroom is completely irrelevant IMO, I actually find the silent acceleration way cooler. 😎

    How many Ferrari’s/Lamborghini/Supercars/Hypercars have you owned before?

    I also prefer the faster take off at the lights but lets not pretend we’re the target market for Ferrari’s.

      I think the principle is exactly the same, actually I think it’s even more cool in a super car. Because your acceleration is insane, but there is still almost no noise.
      One of my neighbors have a pretty fast EV like zero to a hundred in less than 5 seconds. When he gives that car full pedal, it is absolutely awesome.
      IMO a roaring ICE car is so outdated. For a more normal ICE car, it’s outright embarrassing, all that noise for nothing!

      I know rich people tend to be narcissistic, so they may like the attention the noise makes, but generally they don’t like to be involuntary laughing stocks when they play with their expansive toys.

      PS: Our car is pretty average for an EV, but still better than most ICE cars.

        I love how we are on Lemmy, the poorest, rich people hating, communism wanting, most autistic place on the internet talking about what rich people want

        For a more normal ICE car, it’s outright embarrassing, all that noise for nothing!

        Yes that’s right, however they’re not driving a normal ICE, they’re driving a ferrari or lamborghini, the ones with millions of views for people just to hear the sound:

        Yes

        but generally they don’t like to be involuntary laughing stocks

        Nobody is laughing at a V12 Aventador or Ferrari F40, this is lemmy autism

          Maybe not yet, but in a few years those old ICE cars will seem very outdated, and an EV at a tenth the price will beat it on performance.
          They will only have value as pretty veterans.
