Default Confused.com?

I don't get it - this car only reaches 150kph???

Easy enough to make that noise - I'd just find the soundtrack on my Tesla screen Spotify app - whilst travelling a bit faster than that ).

It's also a bit weird that the car hardly got into the redline zone - though maybe that's because the V8 sounded better at lower revs....

I'm a fan of both kinds of noise though - the V8 of my s8 and the turbine whine of my Tesla - as I've said to you before, the reason we respond positively to a V8 etc. growl is because of the way our brain associates that with the pleasure of speed etc, rather than the direct pleasure of the noise itself. So it's the same with my Tesla turbine whine - it's thrilling because I associate it with speed etc.
