Thats gorgeous -- nm - Jovian Aug 18, 12:20
Looks good and mean. Nice specs as well. I don't like the engine sound. It doesn't sound right. There's no rumble. It sounds too clean, too much - Krusty Aug 18, 12:02 2
- Yeah, the sound needs to die. The car looks bad ass -- nm - oblique Aug 18, 12:08 1
  - It really does. I was hoping they'd keep making muscle cars with similar bodies and just electric inside. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 18, 12:13

Make. It. Loud. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 11:48 13
- This EV does in fact make noise, and it'll bellow as loud as 126 decibels, or exactly as loud as a Hellcat -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 12:02 11
  - Further confirming my feelings about Dodge. Blech. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 12:06
  - fun fact: stupid bells and whistles like this do nothing but reduce your range when used while driving - hollywood big shot Aug 18, 12:05 7
    - pff, we've been wasting gas by running the A/C with windows open for generations. -- nm - Max Aug 18, 12:32
    - I had a bunch of my students tell me they would never drive an EV (well, you won't have a choice someday) and it came down to - Reagen Aug 18, 12:10 3
      - As someone who has to field community complaints about EVs in a virtual racing game I can confirm this is a real issue. -- nm - Max Aug 18, 12:33
      - Yet I'd imagine if they got in one and felt how much power it has they'd be sold in an instant -- nm - oblique Aug 18, 12:27 1
        
        They were duly impressed when I gave just a taste of the torque in the parking lot. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 12:38
    - While this might be unnecessary there is definitely a need for EVs to sound like we expect cars to sound. People need to hear a car coming. - Krusty Aug 18, 12:08 1
      - my Clarity makes a very modest whine, that's not what this one's about (imagine if the O's actually had ownership who tried to field a winning team) -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 18, 12:53
  - Smart. Mini has shown their prototype convertible EV and I thought how weird it would be to drive with the top down silently. -- nm* - Spawn Aug 18, 12:02 1
    - You can hear it on their IG page. It's not impressive, imo. -- (link) - Krusty Aug 18, 12:05
- ever see It May Get Loud? great doc. -- nm - mud Aug 18, 11:50
