Mine is making the noise in a wider range of temperatures now, and at more speeds (randomly between 35 and 70 now). Service continually refuses to attempt any fix, but I have to get this resolved. Looking at the Tesla website’s contact options, there are very few ways to talk to an actual...

This seems like a very similar problem to what I'm experiencing. What did you do to resolve it?

I had another service visit today for other issues, so I tried another ride-along for the FDU squeal. Finally, I did get a technician that could hear the noise. He said there was a field service engineer at the SC today, and they would take additional drives to measure the decibel level of the...

Makes a lot of sense! Hopefully Tesla engineers are actually working the issue as some have reported and this is addressed soon as a service bulletin or perhaps even a recall if deemed to have serious enough possible consequences. I had service appointment #5 for this issue scheduled for...

12/1 Service Appointment Summary (Attempt #4 at FDU/front driver side squealing noise resolution) Tesla Service Center - Fayetteville, GA Short Version: Went on a ride-along with a Sr. Technician (both experience and age). I was able to replicate the noise in several, 1-5 second long...

I get where you’re coming from, as well as what’s become the standard of people on the internet making a huge issue out of the smallest of incidences. My issue, though, is not due to how loud the noise is or how frequently it occurs. My issue is that my new vehicle makes a squeal like it has a...

A week from today, 12/1. The service center has already reached out to request a video of the noise which I shared. They have also said they would do a ride-along once I arrive to determine if repairs would be covered under warranty or if they would be my responsibility. This is the same SC that...

I’ll let the group know what happens. So far, the service center has responded the same way they have at each visit, saying a tech ride-along will be necessary upon arrival. Hopefully I can convince them to actually try this possible solution this time. If it doesn’t work, oh well, but if it...

I’m going to try a different tactic. I scheduled a service visit for 12/1 requesting they drain and replace the oil in the front and rear drive units. I added background info about the noises, but hopefully they give me an estimate of how much it would cost to do instead of claiming not to hear...

Watching it again, I can hear the squealing for the majority of the video. It is happening starting at the beginning of the video clip, stops briefly between about 13 & 14 seconds, continues for a while, pauses again between the 34 sec and 42 sec points, then squeals again for the remainder of...

I can hear the occasional high-pitched ringing/squealing in the YouTube short. It is also one of the noises my Y is making randomly, typically above 50 mph, at colder temperatures, and under no more than light acceleration.

Although I’ve previously had issues where the MyQ close commands would sometimes blink and flash before closing (about half the time), it seems like there has been a change recently that addressed the issue. I’m not sure if it was a fix on MyQ’s side or part of a recent Tesla update, but I’ve...

As predicted on this thread, my noises are becoming more prevalent as temperatures decrease. At this point, I have three separate, but possibly related noises: 55-75 mph, most common at 60 mph: an infrequent, high-pitched ringing sound that seems like a faulty or inadequately lubricated...

That’s the $1M question… I’ll try during my next service appointment, even though that isn’t until mid-October. I could’ve made one sooner, but I wanted cooler temperatures to improve my chances of the sound being replicated during the tech ride-along.

This seems logical, and it could help explain why in some cases a complete drive unit replacement doesn’t resolve the issue if the DUs are systemically coming out of production with the oil underfilled.
