Just laminated, nothing to do with acoustics.What do you mean put you at ease? The Y (at least in the US) has acoustic laminated glass for the front and the rear is single pane non-acoustic glass. Supposedly the MIC Y's have it for both the front and rear. Nothing in that video has any relation to the Y.
usually Tesla is pretty good with their tech, in this case it's all hype. tests have shown that it's basically no difference in acoustics.

Tesla's New Laminated Glass: What Happens When You Put It To The Test?
The only way to find out if Tesla's double-pane glass is safer than the 'normal' glass is to test both and note the difference. Let's break some glass.insideevs.com
It would seem the glass would keep more outside sounds out of the cabin. According to some tests, it makes a measurable, albeit marginal, difference. In other tests, it seems the difference isn't really noticeable. The laminated double-pane glass is definitely stronger, and likely safer, but Tesla isn't trying to convince anyone that it's armored or bulletproof.
Those tests include all noise sources where the most dominant noise overwhelms the measurement. To only compare glass acoustics one would need to isolate the glass with noise directed at the window.
No.have recent deliveries of model Y included laminated glass in the rear?
FYI, the glass referenced in this discussion is the door glass, not the rear hatch glass.I can confirm the rear glass is single pane. A four foot branch fell through mine a week ago.
That's not correct at all. 3 db is literally twice the amount of acoustic energy.FYI it takes 3 db of change before the human ear can detect a difference.
And most humans literally require a doubling in acoustic energy to reliably detect a difference in sound volume.That's not correct at all. 3 db is literally twice the amount of acoustic energy.
3 db is a significantly noticeable difference in volume. You're confusing it with 1 db.And most humans literally require a doubling in acoustic energy to reliably detect a difference in sound volume.
That was an informative video, the only thing he could have done better would be to normalize it to human hearing (he notes it in the video), using curves similar to these. That dip between 2kHz and 5kHz is where we are most sensitive.Agree with kabin. Tesla would not be paying more for acoustic glass if it didn't make a difference. A DB meter is not the right way of analyzing whether the glass makes an objective difference.
Here's a video where the sound is recorded and the frequencies are analyzed
