    Yes the Tesla is cool and futuristic and all that jazz but the Volvo is just incredible. The roar of the engine, the spitting of flames, the intoxicating smell of the exhaust, the spinning of the tyres and the tyre smoke. These are the things that put a smile on my face.

      @@tbear Maybe. If there's something better, I'm all for it. A lot of that is just wishful thinking of people resisting the change because they don't like the idea of EVs though. There's a lot of 'but what about the x?' type questions, all of which actually have satisfactory answers, and nearly all of those answers put EVs above ICE.

      @@AmbientMike it really is quite different.. not defending it, i don't like them, i don't like electric at all to be honest, but that's cos' batteries are an utterly stupid solution to the energy/pollution problem that Elon Muskrat is trying to ram down out collective necks. You know BMW were developing a hydrogen unit 20 years ago and abandoned it cos' of the electric/hybrid craze. Hydrogen was a real solution. Beat out by popular myth that stinking dirty and horribly polluting lithium batteries were gonna save the world.
      But is the tesla different from most modern cars... damn right it is. Although it's just as big a pollutant as any modern internal combustion car... the GREEN idea is a myth.

      in terms of sound though. People give the electric sound thing crap, but when is the last time anyone has heard a halfway decent commuter car? Riding in a Tesla literally sounds the same as if im in any other modern sedan.
      Yes you are right batteries are a large pollutant, im sure to a degree...near...as damaging as fossil fuels, Electric may not be the future, but innovation for alternative energy in a profitable and marketable way is opening the doorstep, whatever people want to think of it. Im not a hippy dippy person who wants to take peoples precious dino juice away. Im just someone who acknowledges that change is inevitable and to point out ridiculous statements.

But I know from experience that a two stroke bike with half the power is still more "fun" than a four stroke superbike. Why? Because of the way it delivers that power and the technical difficulty in mastering it.

    I love the noise of a V8, but I'll admit that most of us like the sound of engines because we associate it with performance. As EVs start to regularly outperform ICEs the association will fade, and will never be formed for the younger generation.
