TonyWilliams said:Did you ever drive my car? I got the feedback right through the steering wheel, and it got louder and louder. If you've determined what's wrong (or apparently not wrong) through some ESP exercise, congrats. Clearly, the actual trained mechanics who actually work on my car can't know anything.
I listened to your video recording of the noise from your bad motor and it sounds about like mine. It is hard to capture magnitude in those conditions so maybe yours is defective. I like how mine sounds (like your video). I would characterize it is twice as loud as the Leaf, but half as loud as the Tesla Roadster. In any event way quieter than any ICE car.
Maybe you do have two bad motors in a row or something undiagnosed that was not fixed with the fresh motor. I will be watching the thread on that.
