Have you seen the wheels that are under those ugly hubcaps? They're really nice. Supposedly you lose 3% of range without the hubcaps. Worth it to me. Also, 45psi is for range, not comfort. Elon Musk has said go to 38psi for comfort, but that triggers the TPMS. I run mine at 40psi and the ride is a little better. 39psi sometimes triggers the tire pressure warning.
I think the older Model 3s were louder than the newer ones. It does depend on the road a lot. I put on everything on this page except the wind noise kit. The car is pretty quiet. Part of the reason you hear road noise and wind noise is there's no driveline noise to mask it.
