The Roadster's motor is not completely silent. Under hard acceleration it's a rather pleasing sound - a very Blade Runner kind of vibe to it - it's a lot quieter than a gas engine, sure, but it's there enough that you really get the sense of power being applied. When you're creeping around city streets or in a parking lot, though, it'll be pretty much eerily quiet - a little tire noise, maybe. Just going to take some getting used to watching out for the oblivious pedestrians.
(Note that the chart has a mistake in it, listing the Roadster's charging time as 3.5 hours on a 110V connection - it's 3.5 hours using a dedicated 220V 90 amp circuit, it'll take ~8 hours to charge by a normal 110V circuit)
