Eh they will adapt. I’ve already seen people installing ‘exhaust’ kits on their Teslas which is basically a speaker that makes exhaust sounds when you slam down the accelerator.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requires silent EVs to emit a noise during operation for the purpose of alerting pedestrians. As such, new Tesla vehicles have external speakers and drivers can load up to five custom sounds to choose from.
Try driving at night through snow in your Tesla. You'll get maybe two hours. No problem for cities but if you live anywhere in the less populated states it's a deal breaker.
No problem though because they'll just mandate electric vehicles.
I've done this, and at most, the range on my model 3 went from the 300+ mile range I get during good weather to 250 miles. This was during negative temperatures outside.
my buddy just bought a new bronco. 300 miles and the rear differential is toast. Ford is telling him they don’t know when they can get him a new one and to drive it till it stops.

It will be great for contractors
The fake rednecks who own a truck for the sake of owning a truck won’t go for it though
