Saw this 2021+ Model Y sitting in the parking lot of my work that was making some kind of chirping noise. https://streamable.com/i7ih6r Don't think I've ever seen or heard this before. What could possibly be making that noise?

I'd call up a service center and have them remotely take a peek at your car as it sounds like something is whacked up with your software. FSD suspension with zero disengagement is not normal unless it thinks you're using a cheat device.

When the rear seat squeaks/shakes and vanishes when the seat is folded down, it's most likely this stupid condom / plastic sock thing that comes off over time: Contrary to what he says in the video, don't just put it back on. It will come off again. Instead, wrap a single layer of gaff or...

It bothers me because it's too sensitive, because the people who built the car don't actually experience different weather patterns. No means of submitting feedback, and the only option the driver has is to accept it or sell the car. I see windshield wipers as another consumable scam right up...

I have, yes. FSD Beta. Seattle tends to sprinkle mist and my experience has been absolutely awful. The wipers engage to medium speed and it wipes on a dry windshield 5 times over just for a few tiny droplets. Worst case scenario is I may have to cut the wire on the wipers and install a physical...

The update from hell... ugh. I had 2022.24.5 pending. I knew I should have updated. Tesla took it away today and gave me 2022.20.9 instead. Not updating. I hate auto wipers so much. It was the worst part of FSD Beta and the main reason why I opted out of it. I use rain repellent product on my...

Highly depends. I doubt SEC is going to ignore the whole Twitter debacle and Elon's meltdown/midlife crisis/whatever it is that's going on with him. There's a good chance he may be removed off Tesla permanently, and whoever steps up to take over may not share the radarless vision. I can only...

Wow, someone actually wants the OEM one? I ended up getting Ottosteer for easy removal. I only put it on for long road trips. Lotta tweakers where I live, and some loser will jack your front license plate.

Every part I've replaced in the vehicle thus far has not been stocked at my local Tesla. I typically have to wait 2 weeks.

2020 Model 3 and onward uses the latest revision of the control arms, which should not typically encounter this issue. Likewise, control arm squeaks are LOUD and anyone outside of the vehicle will hear it. For other squeaks, especially in newer models, I would double check with a chassisEAR. I...

Oh boy, this must be extremely stressful given it's a brand new car. I will say this is definitely not typical or normal by any means. Absolutely. If it is a failing 12V, they at least owe you a replacement. For a battery to die 15 days out is ridiculous. Tesla will have logs of everything...

So I checked out my car just now and sure enough, this is exactly what is making the noise. Here you can see the damn piece of plastic slipped off: From the driver side rear door, I removed the panel near the seatbelt (pull from the bottom), then I unplugged the cable and removed the two...

2021 Model 3 here.. I too have this same exact noise, and I also think it's coming from the cylinder. The sound stops whenever either: 1. The seats are down. 2. Someone is sitting in the back. 3. Temporarily, if I spray silicone WD-40 into the cylinder. Have yet to find a permanent fix. I will...

That's why I'm saying ya'll should keep emailing [email protected] and get them to fix this. I've sent them 3 emails over the past month. The more people we have complaining, the faster they will fix it. Not having live sentry and waypoints over some dumb bug is really starting to tick me off as...
