Hey all you EV fans Im setting up my Coal Burner for ya😎
You better hang on to those parts. They're getting quite sought after now that the EPA is swooping in on deleted diesels.

Something occurred to me earlier today while I was watching Tim talk about various things in one of his interviews...

If "the sound" is an amplified result of air being pumped (for cooling???), then why during the reveal when the car was making that racket, was the car not changing speed as the pitch/volume of said racket changed from non-existent to presumably full tilt...

Does this transmission for the electric motor also have neutral??

Maybe not at the reveal, but immediately afterwards (within a calendar day), they should have explained the technology, even on a basic level. They would have saved SOME credibility...

Public sentiment

Not scientific

If people believe more than one thing doesn't mean it's not true...
I guess you are right. I was being a prick, lol. even though i still think its tough to draw any conclusions...

I didn't take it that way, you are correct in some regards.

The conclusion that can be drawn (in my opinion anyways) is that the overwhelming majority are dead set against this car (at least as it is)

The manual trans will be connected to the exhaust speaker sound system, no clutch needed as the shifter is not connected to the drive train. Kinda like the sounds I added to my slot cars when I was 10. :ROFLMAO:
you mean like this???

My friends dealership wants the stock parts for deleted diesels that get traded in or they deduct the cost of the parts from the trade value.

Car for sure wasn't done on time
For all the money and man power they had to get it done, Tucker did a better job at their reveal and did it with how many people:unsure:

two speed transmission
I thought I heard
The video said only one other car, a race car, had a two speed transmission.

Loved the ice cream truck video Jroyk posted - that's exactly the mind-numbling repeating kind of EV sound I had in mind as never wanting to hear on any EV, much less a "muscle" car.

Given the instantaneous torque curve and lack of need for more than one forward gear, I wonder if the transmission will really have 4 or 5 forward gears? Maybe Dodge has in mind what will be an open joke to us dinosaurs, but which they think Gen Z video gamers they are trying to capture to the new EV Dodge brand will dig. The gear shifter, as they run through 4 or 5 "gears" pushing on the "go" pedal, makes corresponding engine rev/fake exhaust shifting sounds.

But it isn't actually hooked up to the drive train in any way.

To be fair, the poll is very, very weighted to produce that result.

You've designed it so there's exactly one choice to say anything positive about the car, and that choice is self-selecting for failure. "I want to order one as soon as I can?" What about "I am interested but want to learn more?" What about "I am interested as an option after my current car?" Even your "not as currently revealed" is negative in that a person who likes several things about the car but not all things has to express that they dislike it.

You've also - frankly - politicized the pool. Your most popular selection is effectively "climate-change is a lie". Sure, sure, it's technically worded that EVs are a lie, but you know perfectly well that if you include "climate-change" and "lie" in the same sentence, nobody's reading the other words. The main problem with this choice is that you're shifting the conversation from this car to science/fact vs anti-science/conspiracy politics. "I don't want any EV" isn't a useful data point.

I find some of the reactions here kind of comedic. I'm supposed to believe that if the body/shape of this car had a Hellcat engine in it, the forum wouldn't be lighting up in joy? I'm sorry, but that thing is close in shape to a bunch of drawings and designs that have been floating around for a decade, making people on the LX-chassis forums drool. Almost nobody's willing to say "those tail lights are awesome but I dislike X, Y, Z". Or "the sport-back design is intriguing... I like how much space that opens up."

As it stands, all this poll really tells us is how the forums denizens vote (blue/red). It doesn't tell us anything about the car in particular and what people honestly think about it. Everyone's playing the polar game. Hate, hate, hate, regardless of what interesting features it's got and regardless of the ways that it's different from (and subjectively, maybe better than) other EVs.

The field is open for you to make a more "neutral weighted" poll if you choose to. Might be interesting to see the answers received in that poll.
