Separate names with a comma.
It's just a little too "traditional," though the GT is moving in the right direction, especially with ditching the bottom screen. The Q4 has the...
Well that's a bummer! On a Model Y test drive, I noticed the double-paned glass was good at minimizing sounds from other cars, but I wasn't happy...
How often does it cycle? On a cold weather trip would it be making this noise constantly, but perhaps at lower volume? I am interested in a 3 (had...
Am I doing the wrong thing here? I just want to share my unvarnished experience. Admittedly I put on the rose-colored glasses when talking to...
I have had countless problems charging at Electrify America. One major issue is initiation time. I have noticed that Bolts seem to initiate charge...
Everything I've been able to find suggests that the 2021, despite double-paned glass and other improvements is no quieter. If anyone has better...
Go for the Porsche, or the e-tron GT. As an e-tron SUV owner I have had enough after less than 6 months. The e-tron SUV and Sportback (subtle body...
My Model 3 killed 2 Subaru batteries. ....Didn’t want to drive the Subaru enough to keep the 12v charged, but kept it around “just in case.”...
"Rolling Resistance internal study carried out in October 2020, comparing a 255/45 R19 MICHELIN Pilot Sport EV (6.7kg/t) with the same-sized...
Test drove a Mach-E today. It also had hatch buffeting, though no body boom. At least, I didn’t hear it on the nice roads near the dealer. What...
Yeah I think you’re right. There is a little swish sound to the buffeting that I picked up on when I drove the Y, but that’s the tip of the iceberg.
With regards to the body boom source, it seems like a smaller number of us is especially bothered by it. It is a bit lower in pitch than the...
Are you able to pull the envelope out with fairly low force, or does it really stick in place?
I’m going to say internet/forum thing. People behind a keyboard will say things they would never in a thousand years say to someone’s face....
That’s a valid point. Ford will likely continue to drag their feet like everyone else. I would still buy a Mach-E over a Model Y.
Some good points, some areas where a little more homework would have helped. The EPA/WLTP range estimate is a combined figure. It's not 315 miles...
Car pricing is elastic and with the dealer model everybody pays a different price. I found out that people paid significantly less than me on a...
NHTSA has some incredibly specific guidelines for the pedestrian sounds. I don’t know how these will work with several cars in one area without...
EQC is much quieter than e-tron from what I gather. e-tron has a droney motor sound that grows tiresome. EQC really goes the extra mile. Not...
No, not with 75 speed limits and no median. Most people bias towards the outer part of the lane. I’m in Texas. I have an Audi that lets you...
More physical controls, not fewer!
Until it’s perfect, Tesla’s system should allow the driver to steer without disengaging. Driving on 2 lane 75 mph rural highways, nobody is...
I mean, give them a chance. It's a brand new model in the first year. We all looked the other way on Tesla panel gaps.
My guess is this is present in every car and we react to it (or not) on a spectrum: -Don't hear, feel, or otherwise detect the ultra low sound...
Even without an A/B comparison that sounds abnormal for any EV. I drove a Model Y the other day and it did not sound like that. Really sounds like...
I test drove a Model Y. The driving dynamics were surprisingly good. The noise was really bad though, far worse than the Model 3 and other EVs. I...
I wonder if it’s missing sound dampening material for the motor. This frequency range is very treatable, but you need to get the right material...
That's too bad, the TM3 HVAC is the strongest I have ever experienced in a car.
That's some insane wear for 7k miles. Alignment for sure. 2/32 is the legal limit, and even 3/32 is too close for comfort IMHO.
My god man, wait one minute for reviews to come out, and maybe also some owner insights. Nobody here has any experience with the new model. :P
A bit childish and silly, but I can’t blame them for having fun.
Maybe Porsche is different but I do not feel valued at all with my loaded e-tron purchase. I’m getting the full on “Tesla nightmare” treatment....
Lexus quiet on the highway. Buttons. That’s it.
Right, there are 3 sources: suspension/chassis boom (from imperfect roads) hatch buffeting HVAC/heat pump/some other electrical component??? I...
I finally test drove a Model Y (19" wheels). It was a great drive! I enjoyed the driving dynamics, seat comfort, visibility, software interface,...
As an e-tron owner and former Tesla owner I understand that 100%. It's getting better, but the Supercharger network is still far better in my...
You know they have an EV? AFAIK it's been selling way better than Panamera.
For my e-tron this is called Audi Connect Prime and costs $199/6 months, or $499/18 months.
I love everything about the new Model S, except the lack of physical buttons. At that price range I expect the driver basics to be perfect....
I never found the lack of central screen or HUD to be problematic. The climate on the other hand is a pain. Has anyone made a control panel with...
I’m impressed that they are working to address this. Curious to hear how it works out for you.
Virtually every Model 3 I have seen has rash on at least one wheel. But still, take the opportunity to learn to park without hitting things. The...
The Taycan is wildly different on the EPA test, but virtually all other EVs miss the mark by 10-20% when considering average US highway speeds. I...
EPA and WLTP are measures of efficiency across some mixed driving situations. They might be helpful in determining how much you will pay for...
Teslas have soft paint. And you hit something pretty hard. I wouldn’t worry about it at all. After a few years, maybe have it corrected and it...
The 4S is about 2X the cost on average. It's a different market at this point in time.
Seat heaters controlled your brakes? Come on.. I am all for holding Tesla's feet to the fire over many, many issues, but this one is hard to take...
Which one? Air suspension?
The thing is, the hatch is one source out of three. The HVAC and/or heat pump is another, and the chassis ("body boom") is another.
Same concern. I work in an audio field and am especially concerned about my hearing. However, infrasound is another beast all together. Your...
