As an owner of a Tesla 3, if they would only put some effort into sound deadening they would be able to silence many of their critics. Now I put this car just below a pre 2010 Accord I used to deal with but let me be honest, an EV should emphasize its silent drive by trying to keep the drive as quiet as possible. Compared to my 2017 Volt, it is louder on bad roads; roads with obvious surface degradation and even tar snakes; but quieter than my 2012 Z4 but that is on par with other 3 and 4 series. as for the EV market in general. I don't think Mercedes, Audi, and maybe even VW; parent of Audi, as whole take the whole range number seriously. To them they are being forced into an platform that they do not want and never would have gotten to. It is very much likely no governments would have ever pushed BEV adoption if Tesla had not come along. We would have forever been stuck in the sub 100 mile range cars with some incremental range improvements to convince us they were improving year after year.
