Noise in the interior of the Tesla Model Y? As in Tesla Model 3 [video] • CARS

There is a YouTube video of a Tesla Model Y owner testing the Model Y's noise level versus Model 3. Conclusions? The newer Model Y is slightly better, but the difference between the two cars is almost imperceptible.

Tesla Model Y Noise Level

The decibel meter in the Tesla Model Y and Tesla Model 3 showed the following values:

• parked car: 59,5 dB in model Y / 60,1 dB in model 3,
• acceleration from standstill: 71,2 dB in model Y / 71,4 in model 3,
• highway driving: 67,7-69,5 dB in model Y / 67,6-70,6 in model 3.

The author of the entry was under the impression that the newer Tesla is much quieter inside than the Model 3, but measurements show that the difference between the cars is negligible. By the way, he also admits that he is not the quietest in the Tesla Model 3. He regularly had the feeling that the window was ajar - he no longer experiences this in the Model Y.

It is also worth noting that the dBA scale was set on a decibelmeter. This is important because dBa is best used in quiet environments and human speech due to the sensitivity characteristics of the meter. If you are interested in studying loudness over a wide range - the one that the human ear can hear - then you need to switch the decibelmeter to the dBC scale.

When measuring volume, the author of the entry also shares his impressions of the Model Y after the first 800 kilometers of driving. They are pretty easy to predict: compared to the Model 3, the car is a little shaky, but it guarantees a higher driving position - it does not sit directly above the road.

The downside of the electric crossover is the visibility in the rearview mirror: the window is small, much smaller than in the Model 3, possibly due to a roof support cross member that has been moved towards the trunk to make room above the passengers. heads. As a result, you may see less in the mirror:
