If any of you are wondering why Electric cars are not popular, you must watch the movie from Sony Pictures called "Who kiled the electric car"
Who Killed the Electric Car? - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Actually there is something like that. i remember reading in an auto mag that Brabus has come out wit a kit for the Tesla roadster called a Space Sound Generator which stimulates the sound of a petrol engine, one can switch between the sound of a muscle car, sports car, etc.
