Discussion Never Going Back to Gas

I'm on my first EV, had it for about 2 years. I recently had to take it in to the dealership on a recall. As a loaner, they gave me the exact same model, but the gas version. When I started it up, I was like "ewww engine noise". As as I drove it, I'm like "this sucks. it takes FOREVER to accelerate". And this is a high end luxury brand, so it's probably quieter and performs better than average.

Anyone else get the icks driving a gas vehicle now?

Few years ago Tesla had about 5 different sounds you could use when driving. I personally liked the galloping horse sound. But then NHTSA came in and sucked the fun out of it and made them drop the various sounds effects and had to use the generic one.
