Tesla vs. Porsche

Pretty cool, but they really need to lose the fake engine sounds.

You mean the sound all electric cars make? What engine sound you hearing?

 

[Stink Star]

the spaceship sound is dumb.
I also hate that the new cars all need to make a noise below like 18mph (or something close to that).

So the spaceship sound is not real? Its fake?

Pumped in through the speakers.

Whaaaaaat

The wife's Infiniti does this too. Great engine, but fake engine noises through the sound system inside the car, otherwise it would sound like a broken sewing machine.

Guessing the space ship stuff is fake on the porsche only. It’s a real whine slight whine/hum in my car. I’ve driven probably 8 different Tesla cars and each has a slightly different sound depending on year, rwd vs awd etc.

 

[Stink Star]

Yes, even my volt and ELR have a slight “electrical” whine sound, but the Porsche noise is artificial.

Well now I feel stupid.

To be fair, the suspension/brakes/aero are heavily modded on that car but it doesn’t have any mods for more power. Still impressive that the “cheap model” (I still think it’s technically better than the model S) family sedan is anywhere near a car that people consider to be the best of all time.

Had my car in for service the other day. A brand new 3 grey with black turbine wheels and red calipers rolled off the truck into the bay.

Not gunna lie it was sleek as hell looking.

Can’t wait till plaid S comes out

We have so many Tesla threads didn’t know where to drop this random post.

But hit my fastest ever to date charging speed at a supercharger. 75D Model S and I topped out at 145kws which is about 450-460 miles of range per hour intake.

With each software update they seem to be increasing speeds. When I bought the car 98kws was about the max I could pull. Car charges stupid fast now on the v3 superchargers.

Currently sitting at the brand new charger in Gilman IL on the way to the lake house. I’m very pleased with these new speeds.

Really a shame they haven’t updated the S or X with the 2170 batteries yet. My best guess is that a LOT will be revealed on battery day whenever that happens. Could we have a 500 mile S? They are most likely going to hop right over the 3/Y 250 limit and go straight to 300Kw on S/X/cyber. That would be amazing. I doubt the actual limit on the V3 superchargers is 250

 

[Gone_2022]

I am going to watch and wait. If they come out with a very long range car with the new battery tech I may trade in to get it.

Well keep in mind that the model 3 and Y charge at up to 1000 miles an hour
