This has been the case for a long time with fake cabin sounds. They add fake popping noises to the exhaust too. They added the ugliest knob ever so users could still fake key turn something to turn the car on. Half the shit is just fake bullshit for people with more money than brains.
Okay, but which drive mode is that? Presumably it’s the “sporty” one, which is the one I tend to use 100% of the time. And the one I would expect most drivers of a high performance vehicle like this to use.
In a Porsche it’s likely to be configurable. Especially the “individual” drive mode where you set every little thing exactly how you like. In my Taycan, my individual mode puts everything in the sportiest settings, except the suspension is dialed back to “sport” from “sport plus”. This is for sure one place where the driver could choose to enable or disable the simulated gears or simulated engine braking
The choice to use the feature or not use it. How is this hard?
They either add the feature, so people can choose if they want it or not, or they don’t add the feature and no one can use it. How is having more options for how you want to experience your vehicle a bad thing?
God. Fucking. Damnit.

I think it’s awesome, and a smart business move.
I genuinely don’t understand how you can think an optional feature for funsies is a bad thing.
Because as far as I know, it’s not optional.
If it’s like the Ioniq 5 N, none of this stuff is active by default, you have to select a specific drive mode for it.
One can just NOT use that drive mode.

Yeah, how dare they offer us choice! Assholes.
What choice? You can order it without this archaic crap?
Is there a mod pack to make it sound like a horse-drawn carriage?
