Twigsandleaves said:The same goes for the majority of ICE vehicles at low speeds, in my experience. I hear the tires crunching on the pavement or their radio, but the engine and exhaust is nearly silent and certainly doesn't have some ridiculous howling sound. Why should an EV should be held to a different standard?

As far as all the concern about pedestrians being caught unaware I just have to disagree. Almost any modern ICE vehicle I've been near in a parking lot that wasn't in bad enough condition to generally sound like garbage (or modified by the idiots that think their exhaust system needs to sound manly) is nearly silent. If I avoid them in reverse it's because of the reverse lights, not hearing their tires or their engine.

You can fix your quotes later, but I can pull out what you wanted to say.Twigsandleaves said:I mentioned this to a friend of mine who said he'd been hit by a late model camry going about 15mph, it was just that quiet. So in one or two sentences he proves my point for me while also proving the counterpoint you're mentioning here. Your experience here is valuable so thanks for adding it.
Side note, I didn't realize you could chance the brightness of the reverse lights. I'd definitely like those as bright as possible, some of the areas I find myself working in are pitch black deluxe.

In my head, it's the Light Cycle :lol:LeftieBiker said:I'm one of the few here that likes my "tron movie" forward sound.
Count me as another. I was an Arcade Wizard from the late Seventies through much of the Eighties, and Tron was one of my favorite games. Are you using the Recognizer moving sound or the Light Cycles sound?
