Especially with an EV. They’ll say the noise == power, and I’ll be amused as my EV silently and effortlessly leaves them behind.

To me the silence is a big part of it, not just all the low end torque. The silence makes it seem effortless

While I do appreciate the engineering required, the hundreds of moving parts, the exotic alloys and precision machining to have all the parts clattering and clanking to move a car forward ….. in the same way I appreciate the engineering of steam engines. Lesly’s get this legacy engineering in the museums and steampunk festivals where it belongs
