You can’t really compare a horse to a car either. My grandfather was a horse dealer. He hated cars and I’m certain he thought they had no character compared to a horse. No way he would have thought that someday people would miss engines like he missed horses. 
If it helps - my latest update allows me to play sounds through the outside speaker.  Including fart noises of course. 
Personally, while I also like engines like RCs v10 especially, I prefer total silence and a firm shove into the backrest. And I’m not going to lie - the Tesla is cheap to operate.  Very, very cheap.
