On a tangent: Will it be better for safety if motor whine in a EV is amplified (of course at an user-adjustable level) in similar ways? They've always sounded s

  That's included in what Jaguar are doing here. In this Fully Charged video you can see the hosts' continued amusement and enjoyment of the in-car acceleration noises: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jj_w1PfSqk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jj_w1PfSqk

    Did not know Robert Llewellyn (Kryten from Red Dwarf) was now a car reviewer. There's a guy who would know a lot about sci-fi spaceship sounds. Thanks for the link!

      Yeah, it's a great show. It's also fascinating because Robert is such an accidental car reviewer. His previous podcast show was something closer to Seinfeld's podcast show (before it was a Netflix series), where he'd ask someone to ride with him in his car for a mini-interview and then maybe lunch. Once he started doing the interviews in his Prius some of the shows ended up being more about electric cars than anything else and Robert realized he had a bit of a passion for the topic, leading to Fully Charged. Along the way he picked up Johnny Smith as a co-host, who is a more traditional "car geek", though also hugely exuberant for electric cars, by first interviewing Johnny for his Flux Capacitor project [1] (Johnny rebuilt a classic Enfield British electric car with modern electric car parts). Between the two of them Fully Charged has definitely become one of the most interesting and informative electric car shows in the world.
