Amen. Our Model X roars at any speed about 50 mph. It really is a loud car inside. Turning up the volume helps me hear the music better, but I don't gain much discernment doing so.
Probably no, it's about how they mount the motors. The rear motor is mounted differently, so you can't hear anything from the rear. It's probably a deliberate choice to let front motor sound out. Because the front side of the car is about sportiness and the back of car is about quiet and comfort. That's why the rear side always has a bright color. Maybe start to appreciate the sound? I really love the sound to be hostly, makes think I'm driving a spaceship.
2.0 does not change the whine. I am in the camp that likes the whine though.
No, the whine is because how they mount the motor. No software change will silence it unless in the far future, the software can produce a sound that either negate the whine or cover it with "better" sound.
Yes. It can be perceived as a sporty sound (the EV equivalent of a V12 Ferrari's shriek), or as an annoying sound (like your neighbor's kid's muscle car). I alternate between the two. It's most noticeable at surface street speeds. If a mitigation kit were offered, I'd be interested.
Reportedly, one company reduced the motor whine by minimizing the vibration from the components, wrapping the motor in special foam mat, and "decoupling" the motor from the body, whatever that means.
One downside of designing really tight, elegant thermal/mechanical packaging is that it's a little harder to change things later on.
Zero whine on the IX. For some reason I got used to the Lucid motor whine that I feel something is missing from the IX.
