Toyota is looking to add more engine sound to its electric sports car. The Tesla Model Y outsold all but the F-150. And why is the EV brake light more inconsistent when braking? This and more, here at Green Car Reports.
Besides the large pickup trucks, Tesla Model Y tops sales charts in the US earlier this year, outselling a long list of other bestsellers. Why are Teslas still not a popular site on US roads? Simply put, it takes a long time for the fleet to turn around.
Does the brake light come on when you lift the accelerator in one of the EV’s more aggressive regenerative braking modes? The short answer, highlighted with a recent look from Consumer Reports, is just maybe. Don’t trust EV brake lights if you don’t press the brake pedal.
And according to a recent report, Toyota is considering engine sounds for an upcoming electric sports car—as well as manual transmissions and even stall-like behavior. Is recreating the internal combustion experience necessary for a sports car or is it possible to create a rewarding car using an electric motor?
