Like it not, all EV's are getting fake engine sounds.

The NHTSA has mandated since the 2020 MY that all EV's and Hybrids make fake engine noise 18 mph and below.

Something to do with pedestrians and bike riders being able to hear the car around them at low speeds. Anything higher than 18 mph, tire and wind noise should be audible.

Honestly, I've never heard an EV make any noise from a stop, but that could be because it's < 2020, or maybe Canada hasn't changed its rules yet.
I use EVs exclusively to sneak upnon my victims for just this reason.

If you smoke the tires each time you take off that should handle any noise issues 😁

Just remember, when Dodge says we'll be shocked, this is what Dodge thinks we look like ...

Maybe it will just be a new ringtone? :unsure:

Oh they'll buy one, then ask the government to forgive the debt when they can't make the payments. Kinda their "thing" it seems.

This is what you get with Europeans running an American car company. They just don't understand the muscle car culture. Seems this company is at odds with itself of late.
It's their communist mind-set. They simply can't understand why Americans don't want their shitbox puddle-jumpers like FIAT 500's.

No, the communists are the ones we are making rich by destroying our own manufacturing base in favor of 10% greater profit margins. Everytime you buy chinese you're shitting on your own country. Personally, I always buy american unless there is absolutely no other choice.
