Exactly, sounds more like something a dirty coal rolling, truck nut having, confederate flag waving, truck driver would desire.

The EV9 I just got even has a feature that prevents the smell of windshield wash fluid from entering the cabin, why the fuck would I want the smell of pollution.

Well I guess these guys would want it too.

I hate the smell of petrol, but apparently some people love it. Also call rolling truck nuts wouldn't drive an EV so what?

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They wouldn't drive one but they would totally buy these "air spoilers"

Again, some people like the smell of petrol. It's a thing, have you never heard of it?

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

So just go to the filling station and drop some on your shoes or carpet. It will smell like it for days. But what about the smell of oil? That shit stinks.

I actually have video footage of the meeting where they came up with this idea: https://youtu.be/dnbGpj8oI8w

ACF-50 is what you really want. Don't get me wrong, I'm conditioned to loving the smell of petrol, but ACF-50? No comparison
