    Loud electric whiny noise

    Update: I took it in and the technician confirmed one of the headlights was louder than it should be. He said it was the fan inside the headlights that's making the noise. They replaced the headlight and now the noise is better. It's still kind of loud compared to how quiet the rest of the car...

    Model 3's Ride Quality

    Yes, Palo Alto. I noticed after the service they also lowered the tire pressure to 42 (from 45).

    Model 3's Ride Quality

    I felt mine had a really rough ride (vin 19xx) and contacted the service center. They confirmed it was rougher than expected (especially <25mph) and replaced the suspension dampers. After the replacement the ride on my 3 feels as smooth as my Model S did. In the service summary it said that my...

    Already on 50.11 but just got an update notification.

    The turn signals were going nuts for me in 50.11 (blinking rapidly when I turn it on). 50.12 fixed that. I noticed my phone key/BT was also more reliable since earlier tonight.

    Model 3 crazy vampire drain

    That sounds abnormal. The vampire drain on my 3 has been at most 1-2 miles a day. It was much better than my early S build (5xxx VIN), which lost about 7-9 miles a day.

    Loud electric whiny noise

    I noticed if I just unlock the car, it's ultra quiet.. only gets loud after a drive. I'm going to take it in for them to take a look. Will update this thread

    Loud electric whiny noise

    It's a different sound from Model S/X cooling system. Instead of a hum you get more of a motor whine. I think @dragoljub might be right that it's the headlights.. but they are awfully loud. My wife's X has similar looking headlights, but none of the noises.

    Loud electric whiny noise

    I just took delivery of my 3 on Saturday (VIN 19XX) and noticed when I stop the car something in front of the car is making a loud whiny noise. It sounds like an electric motor running at high rpms. It stops when the car locks itself. Has anyone seen this issue? I was hoping it would be a...

    Model 3 Software Updates

    Tesla's software versions appear to follow this pattern: <year>.<major version>.<patch level>. From what I've seen on the S, the release notes, they tend to only reflect the major version. Patch updates typically include a line saying "Various improvements", etc. They tend to introduce new...

    Model 3 Software Updates

    Picked up the 3 yesterday and just got pushed 48.15 tonight. Looks like they fixed the issue with the app constantly reporting charger door as "open".
