the way i see it the lack of sound isnt going to turn me off when it has the acceleration of a high end sports car. its going to be different for everybody though so its not like something you can argue about but then again i drive a semi for a living so im listening to a loud noisy ass turbo diesel motor for upwards of 14 hours a day.


General public who loves cars would agree sound is a big part you just don't put much thought into it.

That's why one of the first mods on anything from a 82 corolla to a truck to a high end sports car is an exhaust.

People love the vroom vroom
I couldn't have the same feeling about nascar if all I heard was the announcer people and whooshing air from cars lol

I'd say the people who are in the market for buying a tesla probably do not care much for loud obnoxious exhausts.

I get what you guys are saying but you gotta understand that kind of car is not marketed towards people who like the loud sports cars. The people who buy these cars are probably listening to classical music while enjoying the quiet ride.

Sound does have a lot to do with the feel of the car. As they say about some farts....silent but deadly

I drove it 2 weeks ago.

Pretty insane. Feels like 991 Turbo S acceleration but no wheel spins, no traction interference, no steering adjustment no launch control, Just BAM step on it to the bottom, 5 year old can do it.
