> you're not silent by the time you hit 60 even if it feels that way in the car. It makes a significant amount of noise at 30mph

Everything's relative, and relative to an ICE automobile executing a 3-second 0-60 time, an EV doing the same is silent.

Silent enough to make the driver far more likely to do it and convince themselves they're doing it without being antisocial.

But at this point you're just willfully ignoring the correctness of that statement and I'm basically talking to a piece of sheetrock.

and relative to actual silence, it's not silent.
