Actually, that would turn me off from buying one. One of the cool things about EV's is that they are virtually silent.
I get the whole romance with sound of a gasoline engine thing, but if you think about it, it doesn't really bring anything to the car. It "sounds cool", but sounds cool only to you, and to some other dudes. If you have a loud exhaust, all that really does is piss off everyone else on your street. Also, noise is really energy wasted.
Don't kill me - I get it - the sound is the personality of the car, and there's alot of time and money spent to get that sound "just right". But so what. It's old, its wasteful, its expensive, its annoying. Silent is better.
