Some custom sounds for acceleration would be cool.

So, obviously a low priority request as it's purely frivolous (but I suspect would also be fairly easy to implement...)

I really enjoy the motor whine when the truck is accelerating hard, but it would be cool if there were extra sounds on top. Not outside for other people, but mainly inside through the stereo. Play it right over the music and everything. Something like the six-million-dollar man sound for any acceleration above say... 80% of max. Or maybe some sort of chittering sound they play in movies when aliens are chasing people. I don't know, but it would be infrequent, only at times when there's a fair amount of drama going on anyway, and has an option to shut off for people who hate fun.

I agree. Would be fun as a optional part of sport mode. Also more detailed sport mode information on drivers display. Motor temps, battery temp, current potential max torque vs optimum conditions max torque, etc....

Some display theme changes maybe with back ground color, etc...

I’d like it to make stagecoach sounds.

Maybe any sound that is not ICE, such as "ENGAGE" or the audio from the Jetsons cars, back to the future, things like that would be a fun way to do it without the irony of doing ICE engine sounds.

I agree, it would be nice to have a Ferrari acceleration or Formula One acceleration soundtrack as an option for accelerating hard!

I assume you would turn them all off. All good by me.
More to the point, I would be embarrassed to admit I installed it. Hey, I wonder if I could get EV sounds piped into my ZO6?

the BMW iX had a spaceship sound of acceleration that was composed by Hans Zimmer. My son loved hearing it. It wasn't overpowering so I didn't mind it. It was nice to hear that you were accelerating. I can do both with and without :)
