Hyundai IONIC 5N more fun than a M3P? Let's fix that...

[Skateboardgolf]

Every publication I've read has raved about how much fun to drive the IONIC 5N is, mainly because of its simulated engine/shifting/rebel limiter sounds. It's first time I’ve seen another manufacturer create a fun, engaging vehicle that caused reviewers to smile ear to ear. The’ve co-opted the Tesla grin! Kinda makes me want to test drive one.

I think Tesla should offer these engine sounds as a software update, because after all many people (including me) purchase vehicles based on auto reviewers’ fun to drive scores.

Remember, Tesla spent a lot of their software teams bandwidth creating various fart sounds. Fake engine and gear sounds might generate excitement and actually increase sales. Thoughts?

I bought a Tesla specifically not to have those stupid noises

IMO, fake engine noises remind me of slow cars with a loud exhaust; the sound is absolutely pointless. E-shifts only slow down the car; if I’m pedal to the metal, I don’t want the car to decelerate and give me a shift or rev limit ‘feel;’ I want maximum acceleration. Again, pointless.

I appreciate loud, fast, manual cars…but I don’t want those faked in an EV. In an EV, I want instant torque, EV whine sounds (I’m thinking ID-R), with continuous thrust.

Wouldn't that get old fast?
