Specifically ev, and specifically aftermarket modifications. Whether it's a custom shop offering a package that you could have installed, or a backyard tinkerer coming up with a new trick to make their EV ratrod faster, what do you think will be done in the future that hasn't been done yet?

I think full dashboard replacement to have physical buttons and switches instead of the giant control screens will be a thing for customers with deep pockets.

Besides the other commenter mentioning how cars have been modified forever, computers have been modified forever. People overclock their processor, swap in better ram, hard drives, graphics cards. Use a different operating system. I expect we'll see the EV equivalent in time.

Beyond everything else, EVs just don't invoke the same feelings like an ice does. A rumbling V8, a turbo i4 with a TUTUTU, gear shifts, the vibration and the noise.

EVs are appliances that take you from A to B. ICE cars have a soul, one that wants to rev till the valves float and tires burn off.

Don't invoke the same feelings for you. I can't relate to thinking my car has a soul or wanting to be loud.

Have you ever put your foot all the down on a highway on-ramp, and have the car keep revving for a split second after you lift? Like it wants to keep going faster, but you're chaining it?

Yes, we get it. You're really into powerful v8 cars. I'm not sure why you're here under this post that is far outside your area of interest, arguing with people who want nothing to do with your area of interest.
