Apparently electric vehicles like Tesla are noisy on the highway, where external noises dominate; due to less sound-deadening material to save weight.


Can confirm, the Model3 is not a wonderful place to be at 80 MPH. Wind a tire noise is embarrassingly bad for a car that can be optioned out to $60k.


They are finally upgrading to double glazed windows on post-October models.

Noise is only a little bit better. It’s still embarrassing.


What what I've heard the ID3 actually has more sound-deadening than normal and the LEAF's mirrors were designed to cause less wind noise.


I’ve noticed that.
