[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No offense but Tesla is not that great and neither is almost any car, including the luxury upgraded sounds systems from B&W, Bose, and B&O. If you take apart these systems you will see insane stuff like paper cones, specially designed undersized drivers to fit in the door that make no sense - costly one-off form factors that could have used a larger driver, better quality standard speaker, etc. You couldn't sell individual speakers from these "EIGHTEEN SPEAKER SYSTEM!!!" for more than like 6 bucks per speaker in most cases. Best advice is just get the cheapest factory system possible and then have a car audio shop replace it with components that you select. For example, 12" subwoofer is a must for me - I have never heard a factory subwoofer that I don't hate.[/quote]

Maybe the components aren't that great, but it sounds amazing in a Tesla because the road noise is almost non-existent?
 
I did after-market systems back in the 80s/90s, but don't want to do it today.

Teslas are notorious for terrible road noise, but obviously have basically zero "engine" noise. The audio isn't great either, not sure why are you mounting Tesla on a pedestal for their audio characteristics. Source: I own a Tesla.[/quote]

I was just shocked at how great the sound was in my friend’s new Tesla plaid on a recent road trip. And there was no road noise. Maybe you have an older or lower-end model.

I think Musk is a DB so I’m not getting a Tesla but I’m looking for something with similar audio experience.

Most of the road noise at speed comes not from the engine, but rather air passing over the car and the tires on the road. Of course there is road noise in Teslas. You must've been caught up in their reality-distortion field.[/quote]
