Agree 100% that all cars are silent now except for their tires. However, I think gas cars do make a little bit more noise when starting to pull away from a stop - like in a parking space. So that EVs starting to move can be a surprise.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Toyota has been pushing lately that the 100% EV concept that California is pushing is not realistic and that hybrids will be around for a long time. I agree. We were going to get a Tesla, but now think we’ll probably get a plug in hybrid that has a 35+ mile range. That will be basically 100% EV for us most months.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The other thing I don’t possibly fathom is how the vast majority of Los Angeles residents who live in the miles and miles of small apartments buildings will charge. Those buildings don’t have parking spaces for all tenants. Who is going to wire up those apartments? </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 2, 2022, at 10:00 PM, Jim B via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net" class="">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Okay, here is my take. My first impression is this is as stupid as stupid gets. I did hear somewhere that “some” people are worried about deaf and/or blind folks not being able to hear an approaching EV. From experience, I can tell you that NO ONE even hears my F150. Many people step into traffic around here without even looking. We will probably replace my wife’s compact SUV with an EV in the near future. We already have a solar array designed to make up for the juice required and I plan to install a level 2 charger in the garage. We almost never travel far enough in that car to have to look for a charging station. As for us California guys, speaking for myself, I think I’ll be long gone before there is absolutely no petrol to be had. Somewhere down the line, it will probably get very expensive to buy (as if it is not bad already) but, I have to actually make a point of driving the Tiger and my big block Ford just to keep em running right. Car shows and Sunday drives are the norm. </span><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">With all that said; I kinda like the George Jetson sound idea! I can see EV drivers gettin creative with sound effects. That could be a hoot. AND, I have to admit that I clothes pinned playing cards into the spokes of my bicycle as a kid! </span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">JMHO</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Cheers</span></div><div class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Jim B<br class=""></span><div class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 2, 2022, at 8:14 PM, Jim Sencindiver <<a href="mailto:jd.sencindiver@gmail.com" class="">jd.sencindiver@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="auto" class="">Just saw (this weekend) the Borla system get installed on a Mustang MachE on an episode of All Girls Garage (Motor Trend TV).</div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Oct 2, 2022, 9:39 PM Stu <<a href="mailto:sabre2tgr@gmail.com" class="">sabre2tgr@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Just what every EV owner needs...</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><a href="https://www.borla.com/products/active-performance-sound-for-electric-vehicles/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="">Borla Active Performance Sound for Electric Vehicles</a><br class=""></div></div></div>
