One thing I like about the Leaf: the hands free cell works great at highway speeds. Nice and quiet inside.
Would that address the wind noise as well? That'd be awesome.Word is Telsa is working on yet another even better Roadster soundproofing package.

Great. I'm getting the hard top Thursday so I'll see how big a difference it makes for my car.With the current wind noise fix and the hardtop, wind noise is not significant in my Roadster. Noise from the drive train and road noise are now dominant.
Wind is definitely still an issue with the soft top, though. This may be intrinsic to the soft top. So when I go on longer highway trips I put on the hardtop; it makes a big difference.

Speaking of stereo upgrades, anyone know where the FM antenna resides in the Roadster? Would it be possible to move it somewhere it could get better reception. The scratchy radio drives me crazy. I'd even be willing to have a wart like the older satellite radio installs if it meant I could listen to the radio without it constantly bouncing back and forth between digital and analog.
Yeah, I assumed that was the case. I was just wondering if they extended it to somewhere like under the front bumper which is plastic and not CF to get better reception - I believe that's what they did for the GPS so maybe I could do it for the FM antenna?It was mandated the the Roadster would have no external antenna. It's under (in) the dash in 1.5s.
the engine whine does get pretty annoying on longer road trips
No, it's FM. This is my first vehicle w/ HD radio so the symptom (aside from static-y reception) is that when it has strong signal it plays the HD/digital signal but if the signal weakens it kicks over to analog and the character of the sound completely changes (like someone messed with the eq). It can do this every few seconds as I'm driving - it's really annoying. With my local NPR station, the digital and analog signals are ever so slightly time-shifted so when it switches back and forth it's quite jarring. Maybe someday I'll try to climb around and see what can be done.If you are listening to AM radio, the noise is coming through the ground and power lines. Even changing the radio doesn't help there.

Japan only...
The Navigation System has an ECO mode that will show you the most power-efficient route to take when travelling to a destination. It also calculates your actual power reserve, wind drag, how much power you get while braking or decelerating. There is also an ECO mode that can help you improve your driving by keeping track of how much energy you saved, used, generated or converted over the past few days. Some of these stats can even appear in an Eco Status Multi-window that appears on top of your map while you’re using the map. And when you need to know where to go to charge your car, the Navigation System also points out where the closest EV Quick Charging Station is.
My bigggest bug is that the bluetooth cell microphone works poorly and is not noice cancelling. Even parked most people i call say that they are having a tough time hearing me. It is not my phone or service - they work fine in all my other vehicles.
Any suggestions on how to improve the mic?
