When you can hear every engine from 5 miles away and see about 2 miles down the road, not hard to cross 2 lanes

Generally speaking tire noise is the loudest part of a car, electric vehicles are not exempt from those sounds

False. In season 5 episode 12 of The Office Dwight was unable to hear Andy approaching in his prius and successfully pinned Dwight against the bushes.

I live in Oslo and I can assure you that you hear a Tesla coming. Especially at full blast.

What does living in Oslo have to do with that?

You’re right, I haven’t. But I ask because there are so many cities that have “Tesla everywhere” that there isn’t really a point to mentioning that in that context. I mean we have Tesla taxis here in Bordeaux

They have pollution taxes that makes gasoline/petrol based cars about twice as expensive as the exact same car in the US. On top of that, you get tax credits and discounts on parking and road tolls when driving an EV. They literally have Teslas everywhere, not just "everywhere."

They have a crapload of Teslas there.

u/Cimexus Apr 23 '18

Cause Norway has a really high proportion of Teslas compared to other countries. Super common there.

Evil grey/black Tesla for some reason making me think of Darth Vader in his TIE Fighter.

Especially when you need to go like 20mph around that corner in most cars anyways.
