Not a fan of all of these fake features being added to modern cars. Fake air vents, fake tailpipes, fake engine noise being piped into the cabin, fake transmission shifts, it all seems so pointless and a waste of engineering effort.
Honestly a fan of the idea of EV Conversion, because at least I would be 100% in control of that car and that it would have no unnecessary gimmicks added to the car. (Even better that you don't have to pay any subscription.)
