Unironically EVs are bringing back rear wheel drive. So why all the hate?

>is slower than a base model tesla 3 or S

No, EVs aren't bringing back rear wheel drive. Tesla did great by giving super car acceleration for under $60k. They look like anal probes and Elon is outspoken so they're not enthusiast cars, plus they're heavy too so you can't do anything other than floor it in complete silence.
>>
>>29076958
Just use AI powered sound system to replicate the grunt of a big block V8. Electric motors sound like a twin screw supercharger too.
>>
>>29076962
EVs are heavy so it's rear wheels have more traction to put down more power.
>>
>>29076966
Lifted F250s pulling a bulldozer are so heavy, they have infinite traction and could probably set a lap record on the burgerkingring.
>>
>>29076964
The fake engine noises are fucking dumb, just let it make its own sounds without comparing it to ICE.
>>
>>29076955
I said this about the plaid years ago but these guys won't listen. That car was all about giving you the most hp/$ possible, at all costs. Was it luxurious? No. Did it handle well? No. It was a big fat boat that ran a 9 second quarter mile on the street.
>>
>>29076980
you can disable those by putting a resistor in to disable the speaker while fooling the computer to thinking the speaker is still working
>>
Every single complain about EVs are the same ones made about muscle cars by old boomers when they first came out.
>sound stupid
>ugly
>soulless
>heavy
Funny how history repeats itself.
>>
>>29076955
>auto only
>no engine noise
>look like shit thanks to safety regulations
>everybody knows you're gay because you chose an EV over a normal car
They're nothing like a muscle car. It's like replacing your dick with a strap-on.
>>
>>29077019
Problem is we don't have dicks anymore. We lost them in a terrible accident years ago. We have to replace them with something, so why not a big long replacement?
>>
>>29077004
You can literally toggle the speakers on or off in the Charger R/C.
>>
>>29076955
Why are people so against EVs? Companies shitted up a neat concept I get it but seriously they just make sense, if you're worried about the range a series hybrid or erev is the perfect vehicle
>>
>>29077238
ICE cars have reached their peak. It hurts to say but the only technological progress from now on can only happen via hybridization or electric motors.
>>
can't travel 1000 miles in one go

>>29077238
lots of jewish/protestant stuff but the reason it works on the common man is that americans are fucking terrified of electricity for some reason

>>29076980
i was tempted to buy one of those Emmo motorcycles until I met a guy who had one and it not only did that but there's fake exhausts with LEDs in em too. absolutely ghastly levels of unnecessary cope for what is actually a quite impressive machine on its own
>>
>>29076958
This, it's just faggy. If they released one that didn't have all the electronics bullshit and nannies. Just give me direct access to turning tires straight to smoke.
>>
>>29077238
The problems with EVs are problems people have with all new cars. People don't like EVs because you can't buy a 20 year old EV shitbox that isn't full of cancer like infotainment tvs and lane assist
>>
>>29077243
Petrol electric is the future, I don't know why people have such a visceral hatred towards any technological progress, your ICE classic muscle was the result of technological progress, V configs were tech progress, all that ceramic brakes are progress, power steering, climate control, yes EV is a paradigm shift, you can still come to enjoy the sound of your EV, and who knows how the tech improves in the future to give you sports motor options and what not
>>29077251
>lots of jewish/protestant stuff but the reason it works on the common man is that americans are fucking terrified of electricity for some reason
Somewhat makes sense, even a simple act of driving should be manual labour instead of an enjoyable experience, you can see that in the aversion to electric motorcycles, if you're not inducing carpal tunnel you're not a real rider
>>29077274
China is mandating buttons and stuff for EVs, and BYD is betting on erevs so we'll see a completely different alternative powered vehicle landscape
>>
>>29076955
>Unironically EVs are bringing back rear wheel drive
The previous model was literally a tire-shredding V8 torque monster known for it's snarling, muscle-car personality. Why replace it?
>>
>>29077016
They were right too
>>
>>29076955
>trannyverse
Nope. Can't be a muscle car with that setup.

I love my RWD Polestar 2! It packs a punch.

that just makes it even more soulless

>muh sounds
People around you think you're an obnoxious nigger for revving 4cyl "turbo-charged" engine so high, also spewing exhausts in their faces.

>China is mandating
and the us and eu is mandating lane assist, isa, driver monitioring, brake assist, camera screen, etc.
The least botnet EVs are already build
>we'll see a completely different alternative powered vehicle landscape
to be never released in the western world
>>
>>29076955
>>29072706
>I am pretty neutral on them,[...], but they excite me about as much as a toaster, for me the problem is the fact that almost all EV's deliver their power in exactly the same way. A 500hp bmw i4 feels just like a 500hp audi s6 ev, while a rs5 and bmw m3 feel completely different from each other despite having the same amount of power.
>>
>>29076980
Jaguar I-Pace has absolutely great auditorial feeling inside the cabin during the hard accelerations. Fits well the freight train pull of the motors.

You are not wrong. Current big EVs are indeed equivalent to the 60s muscles, opulence enabled by abundance.
That abundance will soon end. Falling out with China will lead to lithium scarcity, resulting in current top tier EVs to become unfeasible. The nu-malaise era will begin, we will go back to fucking Leafs whether we want it or not.
>>
>>29076955
I don't hate them I just hate the pretentiousness surrounding them, making them the messias of personal autmobility.

Also I finally got my money going and I need to get that Merc V8 before they ban everything. Not that I will able to kick anyway with petrol approaching 3 money per litre.

I don't like you people. You people are very sick.
>>
>>29076955
You're spending egregiously more money for an inferior product. EVs have the same universal issue solar panels on a home roof have. EVEN IF it's true it was superior to other options, many people like me would even consider your EV/Solar Home. That leaves (you) with less supply of buyers, less demand. You'll likely have to lower the price if you ever resell.

>Oh but I won't do that
Okay sport. Rationalize it all you want, and have fun. No fucking way I'm doing it anytime soon.
>>
>>29076955
Charger EVs are built like absolute shit though. Worse than the worst teslers. The glass on the roof will crack if you take a corner too hard. Not to mention they're slow as hell for having "up to" 670hp
>>
>>29078366
It's based on the swedish name for the north star, polstjärnan

>>29078370
that guy is just confused. every EV I've seen allows you to disable the fake engine sound from the settings
you do need a resistor to disable the fake whirling sound that's meant for pedestrians, but I think that's because it's a legal requirement

What if people start seeing through the EV scam?
>>
>>29076955
Isn't the whole point of a muscle car the big gas-guzzling engine that makes vroom vroom?
>>
>>29081118
No one cares. Imagine someone saying they wouldn't been consider a Miata because it doesn't have backseats or they wouldn't even consider a Camaro because it's not AWD, or whatever it is your favorite car is because it lacks some other function. Would you care?
