whistling noise 500e

[arique gerry]

I got my new 500e, and I love it! But there's this weird high-pitched noise that comes from it sometimes when I'm on the highway. It only happens when I'm going fast and I'm pressing on the gas just right.

I think it might be the motor, but I'm not sure if it's normal. It's not super loud though but it annoys the heck out of me!

I recently test drove a 2018 model with a similar issue. The noise starts as soon as the car begins moving and gradually increases in pitch, almost like a whistle. It seems connected to the motor's speed and rotation, higher speeds make the pitch rise and slower speeds cause it to drop. It was pretty annoying and definitly something you'd get tired of quickly. I just don't know what was done to fix it
