People also seem to have forgotten that "Vision-only" is yet to achieve parity with the Vision + Radar feature set (90mph limit and 1-"car" follow distance setting). "Coming soon" 😄. And that was technically an easier solution seeing as their cameras are much better positioned for regular AP/FSD...

Unfortunately, I think there is a lot of variability from car to car because Tesla doesn't do a particularly good job at being consistent when it comes to noise isolation within the main cabin. After my SC replaced the perimeter seal, the car has been perfect and I only hear the high pitched...

This is true in relation to the perimeter seal issue. If the noise insulation isn't properly installed via the seal, you hear the whine at pretty much all speeds.

For what it's worth, I saw no reduction in the sound from 5 miles to a bit over 1500 miles on my car. Once they installed a new perimeter seal, the sound is completely gone and I only hear the high pitch squeal for a couple of seconds when gunning it full throttle from a stop. And even then, it...

Right. So we're cool with the tens of billions in subsidies for Oil & Gas companies every year that have actively hurt the transition to clean energy for decades though? The market isn't really "free". It never has been. And this isn't charity either. This is an investment in retaining and...

Haven't yet because it hasn't really been bothering me much as such. But I might give it a shot one of these days

OP, you do you. Looks are subjective anyways. Though I do think that trying to have a racing stripe that only covers the hood is going to look weird because they are almost always front to back. I'm personally extremely partial to the Jim Clark Lotus era paint colors and would go with...

The truth unfortunately is that Tesla doesn't really care. Their focus is in pushing out as many vehicles from their factories as fast as possible. Those are the numbers that matter and they don't really care if several customers have to rely on their local SCs to address issues related to...

This used to be me every day after picking up my MYLR last month :D. Just drove into work today and it was perfect. Such a relief to get this all sorted out. Now I can go back to just enjoying the car!

I did not try to check the perimeter seal myself but I did confirm that folding the rear seats drastically reduced the sound which indicated a sealing issue below the rear seats (where the perimeter seal is). I'm not sure if your issue is identical. With the seal issue on my car, I heard the...

Just picked up my car today after dropping off for my service appointment yesterday morning and after they replaced the seal the sound is gone! I only hear the faintest whine when hitting the throttle at low speeds but that's very short lived and isn't bothersome at all. But the constant dentist...

Try dropping the rear seats flat and driving around to compare if it reduces the sound. If it does, it almost certainly has to do with noise isolation between the rear motor and the cabin (which is the rear seat bench area). If that ends up being the case, you might want to try what @shzhang...

Thanks. So in this case, it was my fault but the other party has already filed a claim for their repairs. So I wasn't really sure if my not filing a claim for my damages would actually impact any potential rate hikes along the way? I figured I'd be taking some/all of the hit anyways since the...

I think you meant paintless dent repair :) . Thanks for the suggestions. I did just reach out to a highly rated local paintless dent repair person and I'll see what he says. I will say that my 12 year old Ford Sedan that I traded in did have a similar issue that I got repaired at a collision...

I have some minor damage to my Model Y LR from a fender-bender and I'm debating what to do. The certified body shop estimated ~ $1400 to repair/paint. Insurance will cover it minus the $500 deductible. It's primarily a small dent above the wheel in the metal panel as shown and some scraped paint...

In my case it is a lot more muted if someone is stmittinf on the back seat. But quiet easy to hear when I'm the only one in the car. Have my appointment for the perimeter seal fix on Friday. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks. Yup, felt really dumb when I realized that. Still feels weird to not have audio from the browser

Thanks! Yeah, that sounds like a fantastic deal!

It could be worse I suppose... I just had a fender bender with my 1 month old MY after never having had any accident/contact for over a decade 😕 Fortunately it is cosmetic and the car still drives fine (bumper lightly scraped and metal panel over front passenger side wheel well has a small dent...

Yup, looks like this might be some regression with a recent update: Gotta say, it is rather disconcerting to see such behavior in shipped software when FSD is still continuously promised to be right around the corner. How are you supposed to have any confidence in a system with no...

Might be the latter. I think if it was a sealing issue, you should hear it across a wide range of speeds.

Yeah, agreed. Parking lot is a mess. There were tons of cars double parked and not a lot of space to drive around the lot. Then again, they're stuck because of idiotic NC laws and the dealership mafia. Not sure they can really do much to change the situation.

Got my invoice with tech's comments. Happy with the troubleshooting they did and that they didn't just "within spec" it. I'll be going back July 15 to fix this issue and have my rear left seatback replaced for a different issue (won't drop down automatically when the button on the hatch is pressed)

So I had my appointment at the Raleigh SC today. It was made for this issue and an issue with one of my rear seats not dropping down when the button on the hatch is pressed. It was a madhouse out there with the end-of-quarter push. Parking lot was overflowing and there were a lot of people there...

I'd be very curious to hear about how this works out for you. Also would appreciate if you manage to take any pics along the way. I'm headed to the SC tomorrow so we'll see how this goes.

That really sucks ☹️. As a fellow owner of a Tesla with white interior that I absolutely love, I can appreciate how horrible and frustrating this must feel.

Yup, an easy check is if you drop your rear seats down and the whine is reduced, it is likely the perimeter seal. It is under the seats but as @3YMimi73 mentioned, they need to drop the battery pack to get to it which ends up requiring a fair amount of time and labor. Others have reported being...

Glad to hear it got resolved! I'm nervous about my upcoming appointment on the 22nd. I'd be so happy if this was resolved. No other complaints with the car and I've really been enjoying it. But anytime I'm not playing music loud, I cringe as I hear the whine at pretty much any speed. Even though...

Glad to hear that they were receptive regarding the issue. Now I am second guessing my appointment for the 22nd. Next couple of weeks are really busy and it's going to be hard to leave the car at the SC. Do report back with how things are with the car once you pick it up. I have already...

Just be warned that it might rob you off a lot of the joy of driving the Tesla because your rates will be tied to your safety score and that is a very imperfect metric at the moment. I have FCW warnings almost every other drive because the system is very conservative. I don't mind it for the...

So one of the first accessories I purchased and installed on my MYLR are convex mirrors like this one: https://www.sumaperformance.com/collections/tesla/products/tesla-model-y I believe Hansshow also makes a similar product I'd highly recommend them. You do lose the auto-dimming feature, but...

Visited Ft. McMurray and the oil sands for a research project many years ago. Can totally understand the need for PPF around your neck of the woods. I knew sh*t was getting real when I had to take Grizzly bear related safety training before I could go ahead with my visit 😄

Yeah, the PPF thing is a bit weird but to each their own. I guess I kinda understand it because for many people, a Tesla is a bit of a splurge and something they feel much more passion for than just any ol' car. So there is a desire to take good care of it. But the costs seem absurdly high for...

Lol, not sure why you're taking this so personally. People are welcome to use commercial ceramic coatings if they choose to just as those using high quality spray on waxes like Griot's 3-in-1. You're the one spreading FUD about it lasting only "a week and for one rain shower" when I showed you...

Lasts for over a year. Highly rated and has been independently tested by several people. Also, all of that "work" is pretty much the baseline work anyone washing a dirty car has to do. The actual coating on a clean car was effortless and *way* easier than DIYing a full-on commercial grade...

The actual application was really fast with the right microfiber towels. Maybe around 15-20 minutes after the car was freshly washed and dried. Took me 2 hours total though I'm not the most efficient at washing. That involved using my pressure washer with wide spray nozzle to wash/rinse the...

Good memory! Thanks for asking. Helped on some of the smaller ones I think. There are some larger ones that I'm not even sure if it was me or came that way. Probably me though. The AutoZone recommended microfiber towels (highly rated in their site) were absolute garbage and didn't absorb and...

Figured I'd post some eye candy in here. Just got a coat of Griot's 3-in-1 Ceramic wax on my car yesterday evening with good quality microfiber towels this time around and that made all the difference. Was so much easier! Highly recommended Griot's PFM towels and edgeless detailing towels. The...

Yeah, totally understandable. It was a pain having to play musical chairs with the cars in the driveway till I sold it so at the time I was wishing I'd sold it preemptively!

Took advantage of an overcast evening yesterday to put on a coat of Griot's Garage 3-in-1 ceramic wax. Really happy with how it turned out for my first time ever dabbling in any sort of detailing 😄. Didn't make the mistake of using cheap "highly recommended" microfiber towels from AutoZone this...

That really stinks! Sorry to hear about your experience. I was wary of delays with the delivery so I ended up holding off selling my car till after I took possession of the Tesla.

Based on a couple of other threads about this issue, I tried dropping my rear seats flat to see if it would reduce the intensity of the whine. Sure enough, it certainly did so. Still audible but a fair bit more muted. Seems to strongly indicate a missing or incorrectly installed penthouse...

Just wanted to report back as another happy customer of these mats. I ordered them many months ago but only just got my MYLR a couple of weeks back. I had some small fitment issues with the driver and passenger mats and got in touch with @ldcrsmode about it and he was awesome about it and...

Your description is spot on for the issue I am observing as well. The whine is incessant and ever present even when traveling at constant speed and the pitch varies as a function of speed. Glad to hear they were responsive about acknowledging the issue and trying to address it. I really hope the...

I'll see if I can dig up my spreadsheet, but you have to factor in capital gains tax on the s&p side of things as well as subtract your annual energy cost that you would have "covered" with Solar, and you have to factor annual energy price increases (there are good non rose tinted public sources...

I've done the detailed math involved in comparing a solar install over a 30 year timeframe compared to investing in the S&P, and you still come out ahead over that timeframe, and depending on the cost of solar and electricity where you live, you can come out significantly ahead.

Can someone who has a car check if they can hear any audio if playing back music or videos within the browser app when parked? I tried both SoundCloud and Reddit, and I don't hear any audio in either which is really weird. For what it's worth, I'm on software version 2022.12.3.3. I am trying to...

This may be a dumb question, but how does one get audio via the web browser? I just bought the TeslAA app and got Android Auto launched but I can't get any audio playing back. But then I realized that even if I navigate to other websites in the browser (like reddit, soundcloud), I don't hear any...

There is a recent discussion about this on 2022 MYLR here: High Frequency Noise/Hum-New Model Y I have an annoying dentist drill type high pitched whine from the rear any speed between 25 - 90mph and even when decelerating via engine braking. It is really grating and I have an appointment for...

This is literally the one thread on this entire forum devoted to the EQS. It is quite ridiculous how overly sensitive some folks on this forum are that they have to waltz in here and feel the need to defend Tesla's honor while taking digs at people with counter-opinions. Sheesh
