    i got to witness this with two double-trailer log carriers once, they were jockeying for position at 90km/h while i was trying to get past. now this was my first time in the company tesla model 3 (this was in 2017) and i just wanted to get past so i waited for an opening and floored it. after i had cleared them i looked down at the speedometer and i was doing 170. it didn’t feel any different to doing 90. super weird experience considering i’d managed to make myself car sick a few minutes earlier when accelerating from 40 to 100 on the onramp.

      People get car sick in EVs more because there’s no audible cue when the car is accelerating, though exposure can train their brains enough to prevent it.

        wouldn’t be surprised if many electric cars also just have a setting to make noise from the speakers, no doubt hidden under 5 billion submenus
