That level of acceleration generally requires a pretty rowdy ICE with the taps wide open.

This is about the acceleration from 0-60 in 3 seconds.

Because of how quietly a fast EV can perform this feat, the argument is that it's encouraging bad/antisocial driving behavior in general.

When an ICE does that sort of 0-60 time the whole neighborhood hears about it. That alone has a moderating effect on most drivers behavior even if their ICE vehicle is capable of it.

Everything's relative, and relative to an ICE automobile executing a 3-second 0-60 time, an EV doing the same is silent.

Silent enough to make the driver far more likely to do it and convince themselves they're doing it without being antisocial.

But at this point you're just willfully ignoring the correctness of that statement and I'm basically talking to a piece of sheetrock.

Seems pretty quiet in the cabin getting to 60 in under 2 seconds with the plaid.

Like, how about I share a video of a hellcat 0-60 but turn down the audio to 1% and call it quiet?
