As far as noise goes, my ICE car is very quiet!! and I like it that way.
I am not in favour of the Fartly Turdelson mufflers that are fitted to them and believe they should be put off the road untill repaired.
I also agree with modifications !!, although I have a large steel bullbar fitted ( legally ) and big suspension, BUT thats because your Tesla Y would tear its guts out on our roads.
My nephew works for a large solar company in Brisbane and has a Tesla Y as his company car as a promotional thing. He was Juniour Mr Motocross a couple of times though, so he can drive pretty well.
My 2 litre diesel 4WD costs me $750 a year to insure. The car is probably worth twice that.

Your figures are b******* read this Electric vehicle fires are very rare. The risk for petrol and diesel vehicles is at least 20 times higher (theconversation.com)
Bull bars are illegal in the UK as they are dangerous for pedestrians
So it costs me about 1300 Australian dollars to insure a 106,000 Australian dollar car for business use I'd say your being ripped of if your paying that much.
And once again I don't live in Australia so I don't care about your shite roads.
