Model 3 'AR' exhaust (faceplam noise maker edition)

[Perscitus]

I'm not sure if whoever did this is on here, whether its been shared (search came back empty) or whether to laugh or cry seeing more Model 3 getting ruined, but this just had to be shared:

A for Effort
B for Creativity
F on Principle

It's hilarious as a troll to piss off Tesla people.

But not for $2000.

I would spend like...$200 on it.

But that guy seems like he really thinks it's actually cool.

People have a wide range of aesthetic preferences, and this plays out in cars, too. At least the one in the OP doesn't present safety concerns.

Wow.. next level stupid. Doesn't surprise me in 2020.

 

[Darwood77]

That is beyond stupid. Who the hell wants to make the most advanced car on sale sound like a primer grey, 4-inch fart can exhausted ‘91 Honda Civic?

 

[Darwood77]

Please enlighten me, what sound is it mimicking then? Never owned a Prius in my life, by the way. I guess that was supposed to be some form of insult...

I didn't watch the whole video, but it could be cool if they had an entire library of sounds, ranging from beefy big block engines to spaceship sounds and more. Just last week some lady was standing in the middle of the parking lot lane I was trying to drive down. I let her stand there for a good 20 seconds before rolling my window down and saying "Excuse me". She had no idea I as there (she shouldn't have been standing in the middle of the isle, but whatever). And I didn't want to scare her by honking. So, something like this might have been good in that situation.

They do, their library’s got 8 profiles.

Not something I would like, but, to each their own.

The sounds it's mimicking are not fart can Civic sounds. The fact that you can't tell the difference tells me you probably came from a Prius.

No need to get triggered or butt hurt about a joke. Are you angry that your farting civik is no match for Model 3?

LOL

sounds too fake at idle...

 

[flyingowl]

LOL

I'll take that as yes little boy.

Actually kind of funny. As a car person I may be interested to troll people but the actual sound sounds like crap.

And like someone else mentioned, if it could just play normal EV sounds that might be a useful default setting. I've had a number of people run out in front of my car because they prefer to listen both ways instead of looking.

Worse with the accelerator response in park. Not just a youtube recording artifact either. Reviewer mentioned it. too.

If you're going to go to the trouble, expense, and ostentatiousness of adding noise to a silent vehicle, then go outside the box.

Hell, even an ice cream truck.

ICE engine sounds? Could you get any more boring?

That actually is a very interesting thing... not sure he had to buy a whole exhaust system to achieve that... but he probably needed some kind of partnership on that video since he name dropped it enough and offered a discount code.

I actually think the e-tron and Taycan have pretty decent sounds... but I absolutely would want it to be optional and being able to turn it off.

For that situation or pulling bank jobs in the fog or dark - witness, they escaped in a Mopar, I know that sound
