Noise when moving in reverse

[charterry]

I got my MS LR few days ago. One thing I noticed is that there is a loud noise when moving the car in reverse. It is definitely not as quiet as moving forward. My 2015 MS and 2018 MX don't have this noise. I am wondering whether this is by design or this is the issue my car has.

Thank you.

One of the perks for EV is noiseless both forward and reverse. I've owned 3 different kinds of Tesla cars, 2012 to 2018 models, and that has been true.

Is it possible that newer Tesla now adds special effects at low speed, and in your case reverse?

It is possible this is the special effects Tesla adds when moving the car in reverse. That's why I would like to check whether other cars are the same.

Have you never seen a model 3 reverse? It's a special noise coming from your boombox by design.

is it the spaceship noise you hear or something else?

I think it is like humming sound....

It is likely the pedestrian warning system that is now required on all electric vehicles. My Model 3 has it while my Model S that was built only a few months earlier does not. The default forward sound is much more subtle while the reverse sound is very much a space ship noise that changes pitch with your speed. The speaker should be near the passenger side front wheel.

Congrats on your car!

Thank you. Love my new car.

Thank you. Love my new car.

You can also configure these noises via the Toybox / Boombox. I like the ice cream truck one, it’s so ridiculous that everyone around laughs

I didn't know you can configure that. Thank you for the info.

Before today, I was researching the spaceship sound as a defect.
Now, I cannot wait to show it to my 8 year old grandson.

Thanks!
