    Ear pain/Pressure help

    After all my troubles I am set to trade in my 2018 RWD 3 for a 2022 Awd 3. I am nervous given issues we had with the Y. I went in and the new 3 had gotten delayed in transit so I asked if they had a 7 seat model y to look at. They had a brand new one because the prior loaner crashed...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    We have test driven Toyota Highlander and Lexus RX 350 so far. Both are nice Lexus looks nicer, but Highlander seems more practical. Lexus has weird interface. May look at other cars. We have person interested in private party purchase next week. On some of the other posts I tried the...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Our SC on Friday let us borrow another Y. We are 30 minutes from SC so it is usually a ride that gives time to take effect. I felt symptoms on the way home. I felt more in my right ear. Normally its more in left. I didnt tell my wife and she took for an hour round trip. She also had the...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Thanks for the reply. I have tried to do this to some extent. One challenge is that its slow onset and slow to go away. If I drive for 30 minutes I am going to feel for most of the rest of the day. I am a little gun shy too because of this. I have from multiple trips narrowed it down to not...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I agree. I took some similar steps, but was less organi Yea, its tough because I want to love it so bad and have an all Tesla garage. I don't want to go back to a ICE, but given how bad the SC has been with 3 week waits every time, pushing back on other small stuff like trim, and not really...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    We have a local tesla group on Facebook for Charlotte. A few local owners have offered to drive it to see if they can feel it and have a few people offering to buy. They really were rushed and didn't want to give much detail on the customer resolution. Sounds like they have to submit...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Feeling really defeated. Got a call from the service center manager. To sum up really all they can do is drive around and can't hear anything. They wasted a *sugar* ton of time hoping the hear something versus trying to take scientific approach. they submitted to customer resolution and will...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Mine has been at SC for 5 days now in Charlotte. They gave an update today that they have not been able to recreate issue. I gave a deadline of tomorrow to tell me exactly what they are doing and I want to escalate because this is really not just a minor issue. I feel like *sugar* after driving...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    The video is pretty accurate to what we heard maybe just a little higher. I can't listen to the video it hurts. I am wondering if it has gotten worse and changed to a frequency I could hear because in a recording I did the day before I couldn't hear it but my ear went from uncomfortable to...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I have now on multiple occasions had the symptoms in the garage with car parked. Sunday I had the symptoms in my kitchen and walked out to garage to find ac running which was on other side of wall. My wife and sister came out and said they felt like the walked through a wall of pressure and...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I agree. It seems that it does come and go. It makes me wonder if its tied to pack cooling which may fluctuate based on trip distance weather etc. My brother is going to borrow I watched the hitch install video and thought of doing this but its a lot of steps. It doesn't look like in thAt...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Thanks for the post. This has been where I have spent almost all of my efforts until now. Tesla has realigned the hatch and installed some new interesting rubber pieces beside the tail lights. That didn't help and I have installed an extra seal around the hatch that creates so tight of a seal...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I had a chance today to do a little more experimenting. I am starting to feel like the issue is not hatch. I have a hypothesis that the Heat Pump is producing an infrasound that I am picking up on and causing inner ear pain for me my wife and some others. I did some driving with the windows...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Its almost that crazy. I have owned and driven some real junkers in my days with never any issue like this. Also this is my 4th Tesla(model S and 2 Model 3s) and baffling that have an issue that is this obscure and causes pain. Every other issue I have had in a car now seems silly.

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Update: So after fiddling around a lot I was pretty sure hatch was a large contributor. I added a large seal around the hatch that made it so tight i had to slam the hatch closed. This seemed to help a good bit with the pain. Going from it was painful to just uncomfortable after a long...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I am pretty sure hatch is one issue. I rode around with open one day with no issues.. Third time trying to type this up because page keeps crapping out. Used lotion to get bumpers right but could not get to seal good on top and bottom of hatch. I tried adjusting the hinges but they are...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Thanks I will try this method too. After the service was not help I spent a few hours doing strip of paper in each one to get them all aligned. Thst seemed to help. I would not be suprised if there are multiple things causing the issue at this point since we are having the issue even when...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Thanks all for the replys so far. I am trying some of these, but probably need to be a little more scientific and space out more. It seems to take an hour for me to fully notice the symptoms are gone so need to break out the tests more. I have Glock shooter ear protectors my wife and I...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I tried that last night after posting. With windows down I still think i feel it but not as bad as with windows up. Swallowing does seem to help relieve some pressure some times but not everytime.

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    We have had our model Y since June. Had a number of issues that have been fixed including misaligned trim, the back seat noise, loose amplifier, and a rock chip. One weird thing that the SC couldn't help with is ear pain my wife and I both have when in the car. Nobody there could experience...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Maybe time to call in the big guns if locals won't allow. Tesla can implement safe ways of reopening. Feels like many local governments and states for that matter are either being too safe or to aggressive without thought for controlled reopening. Everybody get checked on way in and wear PPE.

    With the recent updates my wife is excited about getting Model Y. We have day 1 reservation. With the 7 seats still pointing to 2021 we are looking to change to 5 seats. When I go to the change option on the site when i remove the $3,000 option it ends up being $1,550 more expensive. Which I...

    Suprised on model 3 depreciation

    I live in NC so no state incentive. When I traded my S they gave middle of Kelly blue book online suggestion which I was suprised by. This is $11k less than kbb minimum. Agree I could get a lot more private party or through other companies. Agree it looks like right now they dont want this...

    Suprised on model 3 depreciation

    I have been wanting to trade my 2018 rwd LR red with autopilot for the last 6 months for Performance 3. It took me submitting an online request twice, a call to service center and finally a call to corporate over a month to finally get a trade in quote. Service center said they would have...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    As much as I respect buffet and Munger they just don't get a lot of the big companies right now and admit it. If you can't understand Oracle apple and IBM then they are going to really struggle seeing the value of tesla right now. That being said if I were buffet I would have already taken...

    I see an article on ameritrade that fidelity 13f shows they trimmed tesla shares by 45% through 2/13/19. PREV had 16m now 9m. I could see how some would take this negative after Trowe also reduced in latest filing.

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I have 400+ shares i have accumulated over past few years so for now going to try to take my mjnd off of short term. My hope is this trial takes 2 years to play out. By then tesla is gearing up Semi and Y, selling tons of 3s, and self funding. At that point even if they do remove Elon Tesla...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I saw elon tweet he is going to be on Joe Rogan thursday. I am hoping that goes well. If so could be good lift to rebuild some of the confidence in Elon that i think has been lost on Pedo and NYT and also on stock.

    White Interior Delayed Commensurate with Later Ramp

    How would you prefer to pay for Supercharging?

    I have only used once in a year to test to make sure either works on my S. I would prefer they offer pay as you go on 3. It doesnt have to be hard to setup a credit card on file and when you plug up it auto charges. I can see there motives for doing one time fee to continue supporting expansion.
