I haven’t noticed this in my i4. There is a bit of a whine when you accelerate, but it doesn’t hang around at all. But I bought this car for the soundproofing, so maybe I’m just getting that. I’ve never tried driving a model 3 before.
The auditory feedback is faster and easier to process than visually seeing or physically feeling the car move, I can respond quicker and drive more accurately hence it's safer. It's also easier to notice if something is wrong or strange with the engine.
Consequently, I hate driving quiet cars (sedans especially) and find EVs annoying because they have the high pitched, hard to hear motor whine that takes away some of my attention.
