Yes, BMW!! The only way I purchase a full EV is if there's artificial engine sound akin to an ICE.
No, you don't want fake ICE noises in an electric car. It makes no sense. Electric cars have no transmission so there is no cycle of revs and rise and fall of an exhaust note like an ICE car.

I think the whine of the electric motors when pushed hard sounds cool. Look up formula e or the vw id r. Now if you take the vw r sound and make it a little deeper, it could sound really good in a daily driver. With a switch/ I drive menu option to turn it off though. Cause the quiet cabin of an ev is really nice sometimes. (We own a Leaf plus)
