Why Gas Cars are Better than Electric

In today’s world, as more car enthusiasts emerge, a sparking discussion rages; which sort of car is genuinely superior? Gas cars, or Electric? In today’s essay, we will explain why gas automobiles are preferable. Here, we will aim our focus on two car brands: Porsche and Tesla. Two of the most remarkable cars, Porsche is a car manufacturing brand that particularly focuses on gas cars, founded in 1931 by Ferdinand Porsche. Their first automobile was introduced in 1938/39 by Porsche KG developed the Type 64 “BerlinRome car”. Conversely, Tesla is a car brand established in 2003, and named after Nikola Tesla, an American inventor and electrical engineer. Their first automobile was released in 2008 with Elon Musk as their Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Sources state that “Sports and luxury automobile brands give one insight into understanding the relevance of automotive noises''. These particular noises are associated and linked with power, dominance, authority, speed, and the dependability of these specific automobile brands, such as Porsche. According to Friedrich Blutner, a psychoacoustic researcher at Synotec Phycoinformatik in the nation of Germany; the sound of an accelerating Porsche sports vehicle may unconsciously remind listeners of the strength and fury behind a lion’s roar. That characteristic sound originated from these brand’s decisions to adopt air cooling for their combustion engines. Sources state that when Porsche shifted back to water cooling (which resulted in the absence of these sounds), sport car aficionados complained about the lack of sound. The people are concerned about how the “lion’s roar” went missing, since these people have come to link the sounds of their favorite Porsche with the characteristics of a certain automobile brand. 

These characteristics influence a sensation of sportiness or luxury when driving or riding in a certain vehicle, which gas cars provide. "Engine sounds set expectations while also acting as a signature sound associated with a particular make," explains Charles Spence, an experimental psychologist and chairman of the Crossmodal Research Laboratory at the University of Oxford in the UK. “If you pay a lot of money for a specific car brand, you want it to sound different from other cheaper brands.” But how can electric car brands provide this level of maintenance? Exactly. They can’t. Which is why in terms of sound, gas cars provide for luxury, sportiness, and trust. Furthermore, Tesla cannot produce these types of sound, as electric brands such as Tesla cannot compete with brands such as Porsche’s noises since electric vehicles do not rely on combustion to generate power, which is what causes the intense engine roar. They may make whatever they want, including false sound systems that activate when their engines start, but it is not genuine. It is not real, it is all a phony.

Electric vehicles do not require the airflow of a front grille, which frees up a lot of space that car designers never found a use for. However, this gives EVs the bulky image. Electric vehicles front appearance look like the EQ, whether that is Tesla or not. Tesla doesn’t cover the area with anything, which makes them look odd and less intimidating. Whereas other EVs such as the EQ cover that supposed airflow area with a false grille that looks cheap. Overall, electric vehicles front appearance is bloated, overextended, and goofy. 

Tesla’s luxurious interiors include sophisticated accent lighting, comfortable upholstery, and a Hyperscreen that spans the front of the dashboard. However, Porsche vehicles can emulate this luxury through their distinctive designs and cutting edge technology. Each model from Porsche has a strong engine, distinct designs that differentiate model-to-model, and incorporates cutting-edge technology.

One major difference between Tesla and Porsche is that normally, gas cars such as Porsche, their engines are placed in the back, whereas electric cars such as Tesla are placed in the front. This is a major difference, and impactful. As Porsche’s front would simply cripple to take the force of the impact. However, as Tesla’s engines are normally located in the front, their front would be less likely to cripple, then not absorb the impact. This leads to further complications for the driver and passenger(s), and puts their lives at risk.

In summary, with all the reasons above, gas vehicles are superior for six primary reasons: better sound, looks, price’s worth, speed, performance, safety measures, and diversity– which all enhances the driver’s and passenger's experience, hereby proving that gas vehicles are the superior option. Although there are ethics surrounding the use of gas vehicles and the cost of the environment, there are standards we can take and future science accomplishments, but regardless of that con, gas automobiles are far superior than electric vehicles.
