Prius c used a 1.5-liter 4 cylinder engine that was still designated 1NZ-FXE (same model as Gen 2 Prius) but Toyota claimed they made numerous changes. Power split device wasn't a carryover from earlier Priuses nor was the battery pack. 1nz-fxe has a pointer to a press release.
Prius C showcases Toyota's latest hybrid toolbox says "To save weight, improve efficiency and cut costs, Hatada's team re-engineered 70 percent of the second-generation Prius' 1.5-liter engine, code-named 1NZ-FXE."
Not surprised that people like Krugerand would "disagree" with my post. I guess to him, selling "beta" cars that are being passed off to real customers as "production" cars 6 months after the first "production" cars went into likely NDA-ed customers during their initial few months (employees) is ok...
I haven’t dmy model S, no wind noise. my model 3, lots of wind noise. not a ICE adjustment issue here.
i agree about getting used to it though. the problem is switching between the S and the 3 makes me realize how loud the 3 is.
That's too bad. I haven't been able to drive the 3 so I have no basis for comparison so you are no doubt right that this is not an ICE adjustment issue. I thought others have reported the 3 as quiet - so perhaps there is an issue with your door seals.my model S, no wind noise. my model 3, lots of wind noise. not a ICE adjustment issue here.

do you have an all-glass on your S too? Or metal top?
First data point:...model 3 owners can do some tests going like 75mph on a highway in 3 with those decibel apps and see what the results are..
Maybe tire/road noise is dampened or naturally lower on the 3, so you hear the wind more.First data point:
Interesting is his Model S measures just about the same.
really? I didn't notice this at all. Maybe a few model 3 owners can do some tests going like 75mph on a highway in 3 with those decibel apps and see what the results are. Wonder if it's production line issues with sealing, or if it's all 3s.
To be fair, Tesla did say they were fast tracking time to market by essentially skipping one of the test phases (can’t remember which one) more common to other makers.Ridiculous.
I guess you haven't looked at what some other automakers do before selling cars to customers like at automotive reliability and durability testing.
Somehow this "beta car", by your definition, the 1st model year of a vehicle that didn't exist before managed this: Consumer Reports says Prius C most reliable 2012 vehicle in its 1st year.
CR doesn't even like the car and doesn't recommend it: The Toyota Prius C isn't a good car, and here's why.
This makes the forth issue I have noticed people talking about that others have mentioned Tesla is offering a fix for those who complain:
Failing to go into park - New shifter from Tesla (potentially a recall coming)
i think sound spectrum is more important than decibels. a loud low frequency rumble is easier on the ears than a higher pitched wind noise, or worse a super high pitched beep. While the soundscape will sum to the same decibel level, the frequency of the sound itself is whats going to be bothersome. Can anyone re-do that test with SpectraView? Also, the microphone sensitivity is going to make a difference as well. So maybe iPhone running SpectraView isn't the best. It's raining here in chicago but i'll try to do a test between the S and 3 this week.
I guess it depends on the definition of "ridiculous." Toyota has been making cars for >50 years, Tesla for maybe 6 years (roadsters were made by Lotus and they had beta car problems too). So Prius C was most reliable in 2012. What about all the other models Toyota made that year? It took Toyota over 50 years to get it right, which is ridiculous, but you expect Tesla to get it right the first couple thousand of a new production after only 6 years which is ridiculous?Ridiculous.

Although i would really like to go for a ride in a model 3 and see for myself (anyone in the north chicago suburbs ). strictly for scientific reason of course lol
That is what I did and I highly recommend it, It put all my concerns to bed that I had been reading about, rough ride, poor fit and finish, sounds system, center display. I was truly impressed and made me want the car even more. My current daily driver is a 2017 A4 which is touted to have many aerodynamic features to make it super quiet at speed, they even claim in the marketing material that it is more quiet than an S class, drove my car on the freeway back to back with the M3, I didn't notice an excessive wind noise. If you rent it and don't absolutely love it then you should think twice and go test drive some other cars. No matter how you cut it, it is an expensive car that you will loose a ton of money on as you drive it make sure its what you want and that YOU will be happy with it. What some reviewer said is useless and can never encapsulate how you will experience the car, in my opinion cars are a very complex and personal thing, go drive it and make your own assessment. I just configured yesterday, hope to get the car on or before my birthday on the 28th so excited!!
