  • Subtitles section
  • In order to make a really good sound system for our customers, we need to meet many aspects of sound quality.
  • Number one is tonal balance.
  • Enough bass, enough treble, etc.
  • But also stereo imaging.
  • You also want low distortion and you want to be able to play loud.
  • If all of these four things are really strong, then it's really a great sound system.
  • We're inside what we call a full anechoic chamber.
  • This is basically a room with these conical shaped acoustic panels on the walls, ceiling, and the floor.
  • These panels absorb sound reflections.
  • This is where we do all our prototype design testing, trying to design the most effective solution for our vehicles.
  • In order to decide for the location of a speaker, there are different aspects.
  • When a speaker is for high or mid frequencies, it's very important that it's in the right spot.
  • For low frequencies, the spot is less important.
  • It's more important that it has a really rigid mounting, so that's where these decisions are made.
  • This is a subwoofer from a Model Y, and there are a couple of remarkable things about this.
  • The first is how large it is, and that large volume contributes directly to the performance of the subwoofer in the car.
  • This is a nice demonstration of how tightly integrated the subwoofer is into the surrounding interior components, and what that results in is a lot of interior cabin space.
  • This is an app we have which exposes a little bit more of what the DSP, that's digital signal processing, is available in the car.
  • And so we're using this for diagnostics.
  • So we can kind of come into a car and quickly figure out, is there a problem with this car?
  • How's it sounding?
  • By turning some things on and off.
  • When we tune the car, we're going to take a bunch of measurements, measurements in each seat.
  • And then we'll know the impulse response from the speaker to the listening position.
  • We can figure out what the best filters are going to be so that each person in each seat is going to have a great listening experience.
  • This is Tessie, our head and torso simulator.
  • It's used to tune telephony.
  • It has a speaker in the mouth and microphones in the ears, so it can acoustically do everything a human could do.
  • The measurements are done first and then, in the second level, we really listen to it and do fine adjustments.
  • So most people spend time in their cars listening to music, but Tesla is special because you also have video and gaming capability.
  • Very few cars currently let you do that.
  • With the subwoofer and the woofers in the car, the effects of watching a movie, it sounds much bigger than the screen of the car.
  • So people definitely enjoy it.
  • I think the really unique thing is the amount of design and development that we do in house.
