I do have some sympathy for this guy, sounds like the cop was being a dickhead.
However I caught this point in the article:
Many municipalities are cracking down on volume, which is justified to some extent, but then arguably goes too far when stock vehicles are being cited as nuisances
Yeah, about that… cars are almost all so obnoxiously loud at all times.
Why does something being “stock” excuse it from nuisance laws? Fucking 8 billion lumen headlights, ridiculous exhausts, completely unnecessarily large vehicles, and blasting stereos are the bane of my commute and work day. And people have them for no other reason than because.
And putting any sort of sound kit on an ev should be a crime. Fucking safety!? Really?
I have adjustable exhaust vents. I set it to quiet start 20hrs out of the day. It will only turn on loudly between 1pm-5pm. Before and after are quiet starts. My neighbors appreciate it.
The car naturally rumbles. I set it to quiet start for most the day because I’m not a fan of loud obnoxious exhausts. Which this is not. It’s able to take the four pipes in the back and turn it into 2 only. You can when tracking the car. Set it to fully open. But if you drive around town like that. You will get ticketed and the car unregistered if it gets hit for checks by the police. When you change the settings the car warns you that it’s track use only. Which only use it on.
I don’t do burn outs because my tires are 400$ a pop. I ain’t rubbing any of that rubber off. And the car even has a burn out mode if I wanted to do it. Butttttttttt I don’t.

If it’s stock, the blame should be on the manufacturer. Instead of punishing the consumer, where’s the recall?
Agreed.
I get the logic that it’s not the fault of the person who bought the car, but cars like that should not be legal to sell.

You’re shitting me. You artificially make your car louder than it has to be? Fucking dark triad marker right there. Not even joking.
