Hey guys, when I test drove the Model S Performance, was surprised (in a negative way) how much wind noise I was hearing from the windshield. It wasn't too bad, but definitely not luxury car quiet. Later into the drive (which was short), I didn't notice it as much anymore. Nothing was open, or changed. My only explanation is that the car has some kind of noise cancellation system. I also didn't notice the car didn't have a sunshield for the glass roof, because I didn't even notice the roof was glass. Ha ha. Yeah, it was at night, and car was black.
Just wondering about the interior noise level at highway speeds (80mph), compared to luxury sedans like a Lexus LS, Mercedes S class, Audi 8 series, Genesis G90, etc., which are around the same price as the MSP. I'd use it to travel extensively, so want the quietest car possible. Being EV would be a detraction in travel time for us, but I'm willing to sacrifice that. The other detraction is the glass rood doesn't have a sunscreen. Need to talk to a more knowledgeable salesman about options. Just found out from a retrofit thread that there're ventilated seats available, so that's no longer a detraction. Hopefully the MSP is as quiet as those, but only owners of both can comment on that. I'd greatly appreciate those comments. Thank you, and best wishes to everybody.
