I just found out it's illegal to mod your EV to have custom engine noises. For "safety reasons." But realistically, how enforceable is that? If you get pulled over when your car plays a looped sample of Snoop Dogg saying "this Volt is in reverse," what's to stop you from claiming that Snoop Dogg was in the passenger seat doing live commentary, and ran off on foot?
