Jaguar and Audi SUVs Fail to Dent Tesla’s Electric-Car Dominance

Dunno, at Autobahn speeds (~155mph) both the 3 and S seemed way noisier than a 3L straight-six BMW 7er.

Tons of road noise, tons of wind noise. Although the Teslas had worse tires on them.

Part of the problem with Tesla though is that things like the stock tyres really aren't as good as they should be for a car costing what they do.

Tesla isn't the only one making poor tire choices, the BMW G12 came with awful noisy all season run-flats. At least they were rated for appropriate speeds though.

Given that Tesla isn't even trying to make nice cars the bad tires seem far less surprising.

The Model 3 Performance comes with the excellent Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. No complaints here.
