60 Minutes Dubbed Engines Noise Over Tesla Model S

cartechboy (2660665) writes "Did you watch the Tesla 60 Minutes segment the other night? If you did, you might have ended up on the floor rolling around laughing like I did. Since when does the Tesla Model S electric car make audible engine noises? Or downshift? Turns out, 60 Minutes dubbed engine noises and a downshift over the Model S running footage. The show claims it was an editing error. Call it what you want, it was absolutely hilarious. A little note to TV producers assigned to cover Tesla Motors in the future: Electric cars don't upshift or downshift." At least they didn't fraudulently blow it up!

the overly large and gawdy lcd 'laptop screen' in the console.

deal-breaker for me.

can't get beyond it. hate hate HATE the whole idea of it.

other than that, car is fine. way too many of them in the bay area, though, so it totally lost its exclusive appeal (locally, at least).

it seems that a lot of rich guys bought them (I'm guessing) mostly for ego/show status and also for the commuter lane sticker. the rich guys just CANNOT stand to be in the non-diamond lanes like the rest of us and so they pay extra for a car that can get the diamond lane sticker and zoom by us on the way to work. buying your way into a carpool lay seems quite WRONG to me, but its how its done, now. the rich aren't like us; they really hate to wait....
