Performance sounds about like my Leaf after upgrading the battery. This part made me lol tho: " fake 7-speed transmission and Active Sound Control system to emulate the sounds and jerk feeling of an old-school internal combustion engine (ICE) sports car." No thanks, but I'd buy the non-sports model they based it on.
Engineering Explained tested out Hyundai's offering if an electric car with shifting. I tend to agree with most of what he says on his channel, and he's certainly a gear head, so I trust that it can be implemented in a fun way.
without the sound through speakers, it seems a bit like manual power settings on an ebike. Caps the max speed to a gear/PAS number.
Careful with that guy, he reads off corporate scripts a lot. And for a gear head, he makes a lot of stupid purchases.
I agree we should be careful with his sponsored videos. But i do appreciate that he makes it so obvious when he reads from the talking points they give him. I don't think he has a bad track record as such with cars. I think he just enjoys trying new things with his second car, as he seems to always have an ol' reliable one off to the side.
