That’s just old fashioned bias. Kids today are not impressed by smoke and flame and noise. They see it for what it is- inefficiency and killing the planet. They are completely turned off by rumbling V8s and such because it doesn’t represent anything good to them. All they see is a dumb way to solve the horsepower problem and they’re frankly not wrong. It’s what we had and we loved it, but it’s not great.
The new gear heads love the subtle high tech noises EVs make. They listen to the inverters whine and speculate on how many windings must be in the motor. It’s a different world, and more power to them.
People who think EVs will never be cool because they’re quiet haven’t talked to anyone under 30 about it. Just old men yelling at clouds.
