Automakers Want to Ruin the One Thing EVs Got Right
Electric cars solved the noise problem—no 6:30am cold starts, no vibration through the steering wheel, just silence. Now manufacturers are adding fake engine sounds and haptic feedback because apparently customers want their EVs to feel like something they're not. It's the automotive equivalent of a digital watch that beeps.
The industry spent a decade selling us on efficiency and then realized silence doesn't sell subscriptions, so now they're manufacturing buyer's remorse before you even leave the lot.
