My previous car, a 2014 Model S, had my favorite acceleration sound of any car: a guttural whine in a perfect third, ascending as speed increased, and louder as load increased. It's the only thing I miss after upgrading to a Model 3. Well, that and the ability to do burnouts. Confused quite a few people doing that.

It still sounds like future.
Reminds me of my old civic, pre-cvt, once you get to about 70kph, it would shift into a high gear and then engine noise would become a satisfyingly low hum. My current car with CVT hasn't got an operating regime I enjoy like that.
