You beat me to it. I have it in the game. It is quiet but they added an electric motor sound to it.

A quick picture taken from my TV with my phone. Yes, it is diamond plated as are all my cars in the game. Easier for other players to recognize my cars.

The engine noise is hideous. A cross between the Jetsons and a small-engine BMW.

There is an in-game Tesla car club. Tag is TSLA, of course.

BTW, dropping the weight (in game) by ~800 pounds really changes the feel.

Well I wasn't going to get the game after checking out the car list and not seeing the S. I guess I am now. :smile:

Duration...
It took me about 4d (realtime) to reach the "Finale" event. I'm not sure how much is after that in terms of new content vs. just more driving with cars I haven't used yet. There are definitely a ton of cars though.

Random data point: Buick Regal was awful.

Would love to be able to rev our motor in neutral in real life. That would be cool.

Returned the game already. Lost interest immediately. Back to GTA

No thanks.

Was kinda disappointed to see the Model S is a VIP exclusive. I'm not sure I want to pay $20 to unlock the ability to buy one in-game car (not really interested in any of the others).

Having a blast with Horizon 2 overall, though. Really impressed so far. Car clubs are an interesting idea... I wonder if you can join more than one? I'm only in Jalopnik's right now.
