| I am just excited because the more EVs mean fewer idiots in hot rods running without mufflers. |

| "Artificial engine sounds" is the next step in that evolution pipeline. Or just blast advertisements. |
| |
| ▲ | neogodless 2 days ago | parent [-] | | See the Ioniq 5 N. But those sounds are piped inside... not blasted to the neighbors... | | |

| ▲ | pavon 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | The N-line is Hyundai's high-performance designator, like Type R for Honda. It has way more power than you would ever need for normal driving, hopefully to be used on a track and not street racing. The normal Ionic 5 has no faked engine noise (beyond the low-volume external sounds required by law). | |
| ▲ | Hilift 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | There's probably a federal or local law requiring some sound. Like the Waymos that incessantly beep beep beep when backing up at the recharging station at 1 mph. You're about five years away from hearing beep beep beep everywhere you go due to the proliferation of driverless vehicles. | | |
| ▲ | neogodless 2 days ago | parent [-] | | To be clear, the exterior sounds hybrids and EVs make is different from the "engine" sounds the Ioniq 5 N pipes inside the car. |
| |
| ▲ | neogodless 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I mean, no one would buy the Ioniq 5 N specifically if they didn't want the zoomy car sounds! (OK maybe they just want the fastness! Fair enough) But yes, they can be turned off. |

| ▲ | sergiotapia 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I love the look of the Ioniq so much, I wanted to reward the guts it took to create such a unique looking car! I wanted to buy the new one but I just couldn't not get a Tesla because of FSD. Cars without FSD are fighting for second place imho. | | |
| ▲ | pornel 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I like Hyundai's HDA much more than Tesla's. With Tesla it's all-or-nothing, and when it inevitably drives poorly, I can only turn it off. It physically resists me turning the steering wheel while it's driving, and overcoming the resistance results in an unpleasant and potentially dangerous jerk. OTOH in IONIQ I can control lane assist and adaptive cruise control separately. The lane assist is additive to normal steering. It doesn't take over, only makes the car seem to naturally roll along the road. | | |
| ▲ | sergiotapia 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I don't touch the steering wheel period in my Tesla though. Literally from door to door. |

| I think these will switch last and will found new opportunities to annoy you once switched. |
| |
| ▲ | potato3732842 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Exactly. What people really hate are loud young people from lower class than them backgrounds. Civics with stupid exhausts are just an example implementation of that. They'll just find something else to hate if you remove that implementation. | | |
| ▲ | goda90 2 days ago | parent [-] | | When loud engine noises cut through my neighborhood from blocks away, I'm not thinking about the age or class of the person driving the vehicle. I'm thinking about how they're a jerk for modifying their car to be louder and intentionally revving their engine to create noise. If an old billionaire decided to make their private jet louder and then buzzed over my neighborhood, I'd be pissed as well. |

| Well there are new classes of idiots I see pretty frequently - a typical tesla driver going 90 in 120 region of highway without any reason, presumably saving last bits of battery (that has at least some rationale, if they do it due to ie fear then they should not be driving or having license). Over say 50km part of highway, maybe 2000 cars need to overtake such almost stationary object (to regular traffic which generally moves exactly at the speed limit). Fine if you have 3+ lanes, but most highways in Europe have 2 only. Then you have all the trucks, buses and rest of traffic trying to overtake via that 1 free lane, which in heavier (but still cca smooth) traffic will create a massive moving traffic jam immediately. If I didn't see this every other day (and for some reasons its 90% tesla drivers where I live and rest is caravans) I wouldn't believe it to be so common, but it is. Summer now makes it even worse with all holiday drivers. |

| ▲ | mnmalst 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Are you saying it's not ok to drive 90km/h in a zone where 120km/h is allowed? 80km/h is the usual maximum allowed speed for trucks, at least in Germany, so no idea how a car driving 90km/h is such a big problem. That's not a "stationary object" at all, far from it. You are even allowed to drive vehicles with a minimum speed of 60km/h on the Autobahn. If a car driving 90km/h is the cause for a traffic jam there are definitely other factors at play. Not just in zones with a limit of 120km/h but everywhere even without limits. | |

Was very concerned until I realized you were talking about kilometers and not miles. Otherwise, I'd hope the average driver would firce themselves to drive slower than 120mph out of some sense of fear, or at least a sense of self-preservation. | | |
| ▲ | potato3732842 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Miles are bigger than kilometers so the guy doing 90 among traffic that wants to go 120 might actually be worse in miles because it's a larger speed differential. | | |

| ▲ | baq 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | > 90 in 120 region of highway so just like any truck. if you think it's a problem, you're the problem. sorry. | | | |
| ▲ | beached_whale 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | You see this on the 400 series in Ontario, Canada and it's not just Tesla drivers. Some people don't want to go that fast(speed kills) and others cannot. It's a non issue if they stay right as expected. | |
| ▲ | potato3732842 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I think it's a hilarious example in how buyer demographics effect things. Every Tesla is a potential rocket ship if the driver wants it to be yet they're rarely if ever not driven circles around by laden work vans. | |
| ▲ | alliao 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | it'd tell you what speed to travel at if you want to get to where you want to go lol, chances are they're low and just trying to get to their destination |

| The kids will find a way to be flagrantly annoying. Always has been always will be. Taking their fart can exhausts will be a minor bump in the road. It's not like EVs don't come factory equipped with tons of power to drive the kind of audio systems that people like you also hate. |
