I’ve been driving electric for nine years. I very much enjoy the silence. And I would still like fake gears for the funsies, doesn’t even need to include fake sounds.
My 2019 VW GTI has this, not because it’s electric and has no engine, but because the sound dampening between the engine bay and cabin is so good that the engineers thought it necessary. It’s the first thing I disabled. So dumb.

I want that. It sounds genuinely fun. Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 N has that sort of thing and it got a ton of positive reviews.
It’s something you think you want, until you hear silence.

They think jerking back and forth and making noise is “soul”.
