We need our word for 'vroom!"

For my five year old it's currently "bah-a-la-la-la."

What about

How about "Swoosh?"

I also like "squirt," but swoosh describes the sound more than the action.

I think the most comparable noise to a Model S accelerating onto a freeway would be a passenger jet taking off.
As the noise from the wheels steadily increases - imitating the combustion noise on jets - it is accompanied by an increasing high-pitched motor sound, which is very reminisced of what a jet plane taking off sounds like

This is something your S will do naturally over time when a certain bearing surface starts to go... I'm in between that period of "when my S was silent" and "too loud to tolerate", I'm still in the zone of "so this is what electric drive sounds like" which is, as you describe.

Remedy is drive train swap.
