@SawyerMerritt I don’t really get all the extra sound and vibration. It’d be like Henry Ford making the Model T still smell like a stable
@MKRowenhorst @SawyerMerritt Bad analogy No one liked the smell, they dealt with it People LOVE the sound of their engine
@MKRowenhorst @SawyerMerritt Ha ha, exactly! Hmmm, smellavision upgrade coming soon! ;)
@MKRowenhorst @SawyerMerritt Good one...... 😂😂😂
@MKRowenhorst @SawyerMerritt bad analogy for sure, people don't ride horses for the smell, but people do ride a GT 500 for the sound of the engine roar. Porsche is already doing something similar. those who have EVs aren't likely muscle heads, muscle heads still own ICE cars. but yeah kinda cheesy in theory
@MKRowenhorst @SawyerMerritt It's for men with small penises.
@MKRowenhorst @SawyerMerritt More like horse hooves clopping 🐴 clip, clop, clip, clop, clip, clop
@MKRowenhorst @SawyerMerritt Excellent analogy! 🏇💨
@MKRowenhorst @SawyerMerritt And I’m guessing there were a small number of backward looking buyers who would have wanted that, just like they’ll want this…
