Summary
Trump warned automakers not to raise prices after announcing a 25% tariff on imported vehicles starting April 3, claiming the tariffs would be “great” and benefit U.S. manufacturing.
Industry leaders, including GM, Ford, and Stellantis CEOs, expressed concerns about inevitable price increases, with experts warning tariffs could add thousands to car costs.
Auto suppliers stated that absorbing tariffs is impossible, and dealers fear affordability challenges for consumers.
While the United Auto Workers union support the move as a job creator, trade groups predict higher prices and fewer manufacturing jobs.
From outside the main thing you hear from a car is the noise it makes through rolling. You still hear that with EV. The silent part is when you’re sitting inside since good cars are dampening the roll (and wind) noise
It’s an issue at low speeds where tyre noise is nowhere as loud. Also in a city it’s fighting against the other ambient noises that are quite loud.
That’s why they’re emitting sounds at such low speeds (at least in the EU, no idea how they’re regulated elsewhere)
