Excellent point by Jordan Golson regarding the interesting situation that electric car makers find themselves in with performance cars.
The Verge - Can electric sports cars be sporty without any engine noise?
Driving an electric car is like typing on glass. There are whole sensory dimensions missing. It’s like watching a movie through the tinny speakers that are built into the TV. You don’t want to just see the action, you want to hear and feel it.

How do you replace the sound and feel of a gasoline engine? There’s a whole industry dedicated to enhancing the sound they make because drivers find it intoxicating. Driving performance cars is about more than the 0-60. It’s the whole sensory experience. And that includes the feedback you get from the sound and vibration of the motor.
And strictly speaking from a mechanical point of view, motors are like a well choreographed ballet with all the parts moving in harmony. Comparing a gasoline motor to an electric one is like comparing a quality mechanical watch to a smart watch.
