Welp. Got an email from Tesla this morning that they've agreed to buy mine back. Not my ideal path, but I think now I'm going to change it up a bit and give the M3P a try!

I'm definitely wondering if there's something in the replacement process that fixes this. Maybe the ground strap? That or they're just producing a lot of the drive units because it's more and more of a prevalent issue it seems.. originally we thought it might have been a "batch" of units that...

Interesting this is still happening with new deliveries. Originally we thought it was a bad "batch" of motors but now seems more common. I've had 4 visits with 2 different SCs and still have the chirp sound. While annoying, I'm kind of over taking days off work to fight with them, especially if...

Did you get this looked at? Same sound in my Model Y when cruising in the 45-55mph range. At almost 10k miles and no issues from it. Had it checked by two SCs and both said it's nothing concerning. One even said they had MY in my VIN range they drove with the same sound. Guess it's just a...

I actually hadn't had a chance to reach out just because of being super busy at work. Upon seeing your message, I did reach out though. Expressed my concern with driving 2 hours and then not hearing anything because of warmth and asked if mobile can record and send diagnosis back. Hoping for the...

Yep I am reaching out to mine in the app as well, but yours seems a lot better at communicating this type of information so anything additional I can get through you from them is clutch!

Would you mind probing them a bit and ask if this is something that can be remote diagnosed because you know of others who would like to request that and not have to visit a SC for the 3rd + time? If they say so, it's definitely something I'll reach out to my SC to ask if they can do..

Couple things to say... @Benito1283 - props to your SC for being so awesome to work with. I know you might not think that, but the fact that they're digging so much and have provided you with a loaner is above and beyond my closest (2 hrs) SC. That said, I would also be very surprised (and...

I do agree with the parts being similar, and have also noticed that all of us have fairly new vehicles.. either 2022 or suuuuuper late 2021. I feel like it's safe to rule out brakes because not only are they different between LR and P, but a few of us have proven that braking doesn't make the...

@Benito1283 did your SC confirm they heard it on the lift? Mine said they didn't and it's possibly because of no load being on the car. @ev_go123 the tech at my SC also mentioned it could be the coolant system since that's a very high pressure system. On a brighter note, glad we all got our...

@ev_go123 yep same sound as those of us in the thread linked above. I'm kind of at a loss since @Benito1283 has had his front DU replaced along with his brakes inspected. Could still just be the way the brake pads rub, something weird with the motors they make now, or some of us hear things that...

Wow. That's honestly very surprising. I'm happy for you though.. my SC won't even let me ride with them, let alone acknowledge they hear something out of the ordinary. A buy back is a huge deal, so hopefully they can diagnose and actually see what's going on. I've pretty much accepted it at this...

How's the weather been? Could it be that it's quieter due to warmer weather, or do you think it might actually be the drive unit? And if you still hear it but it's quieter, maybe it's just a normal sound and the variability is pretty wide... aka "within spec" 🤮🤮🤮

I'll add to this.. I hear it all the time, though it is louder when the regen dots are there. I can go on a 2 hour highway trip and when i get back into town, when I get back to 45mph roads, it's there. I'm at a complete loss, but will agree definitely coming from the front, and it seems the...

For me it definitely doesn't go away when I have full regen. Maybe it's less prevalent and more faint, but still reproducible. Can't hear it when the windows are down, probably due to wind. Hard to say if it sounds electrical.. the description someone had of the sound of a CD spinning up in a...
