Almost. Baseball cards are the real deal. The ones nobody else wanted.I put playing cards in my wheel spokes. It doesn't look quite as cool as this solution but it was only $1.39. It's hard to say if the car is actually faster or not, but it sure feels faster - and chicks dig it!
I have to admit that as a "car enthusiast" myself, I've certainly put a lot of effort in over the years trying to make my ICE cars sound more like EVs.Many of you complaining about an EV car making ICE sounds obviously don't know much about car enthusiasts.
It would be great if ScanMyTesla or tes•LAX would add a feature to generate an EV sound. The Glydsphere looks promising, but it's not using any of the CAN data available, which is a missed opportunity.
I'd use this at the track for in-cabin sound, to help my brain more easily register the speed and help with getting the right entry speed into corners.
Here is a video from i1Tesla showing how it sounds
I paid $$ for an Akrapovic exhaust on my X3MC because it sounds much better but that's more to improve the sound of an existing exhaust. It seems kind of silly to add ICE exhaust noise to a vehicle that doesn't have an engine. What's next? A fake manual shifter mod for the console so you can pretend you are rowing through gears on your EV?Many of you complaining about an EV car making ICE sounds obviously don't know much about car enthusiasts. Cars have had these engine sound mods/amplifiers and fake engine noise for years! BMW i8 comes with the Milltek standard. So do some Mercedes. I personally spent a lot of money adding exhaust and headers to my BMW M6 so that it would have a deeper more throaty sound to its V10 engine! There was also an exhaust that had amplified sound that was electronically controlled so you could switch it off if you wanted to drive more quietly. These systems are better than the boombox because they are hooked up to your throttle so the sounds change depending on the speed at which you are moving. I think the Milltek one even starts up automatically as soon as you touch the door handle.
On a side note, there is a new engine sound system coming out that has futuristic sounds.
New one with futuristic space sounds coming out

If the shifter gate isn't polished like a classic Ferrari, I'll pass.*cough*

Agreed! Who wants to sound like a DB11. Also, we would not be able to hear the cries and bone crunching of the pedestrians who step into our path without looking or rather hearing our approach. Happens all the time when I cycle and also during Tesla test drives. Now, where is that horn button......Demo video:
(Seriously though ... one of the best things about an EV future is reducing the noise pollution. Why add it back?)
Wow! And I thought my brother had the World Heavy Weight belt for invalid analogies! I bow to the new champ.That's like saying my vaccinated dog lacks rabies.
PS Yes whiskeylover, it's like you crept up on him and ripped his heart out is it not?Wow! And I thought my brother had the World Heavy Weight belt for invalid analogies! I bow to the new champ.
