Silent Teslas Keep Crashing, Do They Need Engine Speakers?
Eco Car Dangers - Silent Teslas Keep Crashing, Do They Need Engine Speakers? (GALLERY) 2

Tesla Motors is building and delivering electric cars at the rate of about 10 an ‘electropop’. However, several Teslas have been in wrecks because they are so quiet. 

Engineers may have to rethink the whole design. The car will go from 0 to 60 in 3.9, and as the picture shows, from 30 to 0 as quickly as you can say, “Holy Electrodes Dark Knight!”

Witnesses say this car went unnoticed as it weaved between bumpers, until it weaved into the car in front of it. It smashed a Mercedes, but probably would have been unharmed had it slipped under a Hummer or Escalade… ;)

Do they need engine sounds? The sound of an engine isn't the the pleasurable piece of audio so I would think not! However, for a long time now I have imagined that when electric cars finally took of they would need a sound. Then I logically thought (being a musician) 'Wouldn't it be sweet if each car used a single tone from a specific key on the musical scale' or a percussive sound set to a specific rhythm!' The streets would sound so sweet and I wouldn't have to cringe each time a hon revved their engine at ear splitting levels down my street at 3am. I like the idea what do others think?
