Anyone heard of this?

I was browsing Amazon for Mace E specific things and ran across this 'performance' device that purports to give you 'full acceleration' for your Mach E.


Blowing smoke?

It's a drive by wire throttle amplifier. For automatic ICE vehicles those are worth it due to a lag.

I don't see that as an issue with a MME and 1 speed transmission. Unbridled mode is plenty responsive.

I figured it was snake oil, but wasn’t sure.
Thanks!

Just a fun diversion, but snake oil salesmen are the folks we need to watch out for. Whereas snake oil (when extracted from the Chinese water snake and not some other nonsense put into a bottle by some American entrepreneurs) was a reasonably legitimate treatment for joint pain.

I learned this recently, I think from the Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast but I can't remember for sure, and I thought that bit of trivia was fascinating.

Here's a good explanation at Wikipedia:
