The new Lexus RX450h makes engine sounds in reverse as a warning for pedestrians.


I can understand the warning for pedestrian sound, but fake engine sound? come on, that's lame.

You think swapping a custom design battery pack would be harder than swapping 4 wheels?

I can do you one better...
The gorgeous Porsche Taycan EV has a $500 option to add engine sounds, also played through the radio.
It can play inside and outside the car!
I guess if you have $200K to drop on an EV, what's another $500? The $180K Beemer includes it at no extra charge!
Cheapo Tesla ain't got that, as far as I know...
Guess I'll have to do without in wifey's Model 3. Sheesh.
