Dodge's new electric car with fake exhaust noise from speakers, fake shift feel via motor control..... 🤦‍♂️


Just like fake meat, if real meat is so bad why you trying so hard to make this shit taste and look like it.

Hopefully we look back at this shit like the Pontiac Aztec in 10 years... If you are gonna make an electric car just make it, don't try to shoe horn it into a muscle car's body.

And i have nothing against electric cars, this is just gay.

So, where does the sound fit, on a scale of 1 to 10...

10, in my mind, is a 500 inch V8 with 14:1... kind of like a ProStock car around 1995.

1 is a tie between the "whoosh" sound of a Tesla, and an open manifold 305.

So lame. I can’t stand fake shit on cars. Fake air scoops and diffusers. And how about BMW piping in fake engine sounds on their stereo systems..... and not being able to disable it.

I'd drive it. The styling of it is bad ass.
I agree as far as the body goes, nice clean lines.

It’s more of a -6, like a fart in a fan.


Like he said, It is the way the industry is going. 😢

BMW did something like this starting back with the Z3 or Z4. I can't remember which one. The little 4 & 6 bangers sounded like crap, so the pumped engine noise into the passenger compartment to make it sound more......meaty.

Was gay back then too!!! 🤣

I agree that the fake shit is dumb. But that is one sexy bitch.

You’re just a negative Nellie😎

I can’t wait to dial in my tone.
Imagine this
At a stop light, you can toggle between the sound of a Dodge Daytona Hemi, an F-1 car, a Top fuel Dragster.
Etc etc. 🖕
😎


Once they figure out the power grid and how all that electricity is generated😉

Eco Boost engines...

Do they do that to the F150, to make it sound all badass and shit too??

😁

Try again. They do it to the 5.0 😂.

No Juan wants to hear the ecoboosts. They just put bigger mufflers on them unless you get a Raptor.

The sounds that the early plug-in Prius made sounded like whales humping…and this opinion came from Toyota employees LOL

I don't get adding the sound ?

My buddy took me for test drive in his Model S plaid

The cool thing about the 1.9 second 0-60 and 3 second 0-80 is that it is almost silent. Almost spooky but cool

Just keep EV's what they are but again like others have said that is no more lame than a stock civic with exhaust so loud that it wakes up the entire block.

Raptor. WAFJ. 🤣

My co-worker has one and thought he was a badass until I smoked him in my 18 year old naturally-aspirated Silverado. Rookie! His truck reminds me of a battery powered Milwaukee dust blower. Not even enough power to be classified as a leaf blower. 🤣

Does it come with a built in leather clad drivers seat butt plug?

It's a joke right? I mean, they are not really going to build/sell this thing are they?

Now, on electric cars, does a sound system significantly decrease your range?

If this is a serious question…
Not really, especially compared to things like HVAC and drivetrain.

For an EV, we’re more concerned with mass and packaging than power consumption. Our Class D amps are remarkably efficient.
