I've found that, at least in europe, teslas are a major issue for this reason.

All other electric vehicles, even the cheap chinese ones, make some sort of noise, like ufos hovering or something. Yet teslas are mostly just silent, they don't make the noise.

I'm not even deaf and I've gotten close to getting run over by various teslas, but no other brand of cars (electric or ICE) had this issue.
