I would love to see. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 1bluepixel@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (2 children) I found this article from last year showing some interesting models. You'll see the most popular EVs range from more classical designs to weird and retro-futuristic. Some of them also make futuristic noises when they drive around... The noise isn't needed at all because the motor is pretty much silent, so they're added by manufacturers so you hear them coming. I swear they sound like something out of a '90s sci-fi flick. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] cyd@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Hope those are customizable.
