I currently hear the whine too. (No whine when the orange arc is small.)i didn't have the whine for the first 3 weeks.
i've had it steadily the past week and currently.
that said, i like the whine.
I have had my car for going on 3 months now and within the past week the whine has shown up. Has anybody else had this happen to them? I don't mind it at all just thought it was weird for it to appear out of the blue......
After 5 months and 7000 miles, I still find it irritating and embarrassing. Buzzkill to the silence.
Cinergi, your tune has changed on the car, no?

Not at all. Earlier in this thread (I think it was this one) I noted I had the noise and how disappointed I was with it. Just stating that my dislike hasn't changed after having had the car a while.
(Or did you mean the tone of the noise has changed? It's actually the same ... might kick in a bit earlier in the power consumption band than it used to but basically the same)

Heading in to Service tomorrow - the whine which I described above a few weeks ago, has not abated. Different than the whine that is supposedly only at high acceleration, this whine occurs only between about 10 kWh and 40 kWh, is easily heard at say 20 or 30mph. Present but harder to hear at say 60mph due to road noise. This is a buzzkill as it ruins that silent slow speed driving. Here's the deal: gave a test drive to a serious Tesla Nation candidate Sunday and the guy was so annoyed by it. So I guess I am not crazy or suffering from one too many Dead concerts from age 15. Will keep you updated. And we'll get my friend into Tesla Nation...
... is friggin' awesome!The high-pitched whine during acceleration...
To be fair, I loved the sound of turbos and superchargers on my previous cars. Really adds a visceral component to the "ok, now we're really going fast" experience of flooring it. Just in the Model S it's a futuristic, electrical sound instead of a mechanical sound.
I also get a teeny tiny, even fainter electronic sound under regen, only noticeable at slow speeds with the radio completely off.
Sounds like the future to me.
Was service able to do anything for you on this? I know there is supposed to be a fix in the works for the general high power whine but I don't think it is available yet.
I haven't heard it either but if it's anything like the old Star Trek, "give me more power Scotty" acceleration, I'm sure the passengers might like it as well :biggrin:.....
I gladly await hearing the "warp whine" in my S.
Just curious, it's been a few months; any resolution to this issue one way or the other?
I'm inclined to think the sound would not bother me as I almost always drive with music on. However, the first car I owned had a transmission issue that caused a persistent, high-pitched whine at about 80kph. As such, this kind of issue leaves a disproportionately bad taste in my mouth (past trauma and all) and would probably end up bothering me as a result.
