I had a similar experience. It may have been a coincidence, but A reboot resolved it for me.

You might also want to be sure your rear seat head rest isn't loose. Today I wiggled it to be sure it was secure and found it a bit loose. I raised it up and forcefully lowered it. The looseness went away. It's an easy adjustment that's worth a try.

It seems Tesla has listened to some of our concerns. I looked at my Safety Score yesterday and it has bumped up to 99 from 96 or 97 the day before. While I don't have specifics, it appears some of the "dings" I had received for supposed errant driving have been removed from my daily record...

Apparently you don't have to use the break peddle very much to get "dinged" for hard breaking. Hopefully well see some noticeable improvement in Safety Score reporting as Tesla Insurance expands into more states and the safety score becomes more impactful on one's insurance premiums...

I have had my Safety Score for the day’s drive plummet on several occasions for odd reasons. Most issues involve forward collision warnings under the following scenarios. 1. When approaching a vehicle that is parked at the side of a neighborhood street that gently curves to the left. This...

Your wish may be coming true. Electrek just reported that Tesla filed a patent for a new steer-by-wire system. It will be interesting to see if it impacts the round vs. yoke dialog.

Electrek has reported Tesla's filing of a patent for a new steer-by-wire system. Steer-by-wire with variable ratio steering should substantially reduce the amount of steering wheel/yoke rotation required to execute a turn. U-turns, parallel parking, and other steering-intensive maneuvers should...

Maybe we'll eventually see those noisy ICE cars being a little more conservative when sitting at a light beside an EV.

Good one! :) I've experienced a few noisy neighborhood vehicles in the past. Fortunately, quieter times are ahead.

It's always fun to watch the amazing power and torque of electric cars.

So true. We all love clean air.

The quiet part will undoubtedly be appreciated by those living near busy roads.

Interesting novelty. We are still in the early stages of EV adoption and it will be hard for some to move on from the nostalgia of ICE sounds.

You make some good points. The "screaming for attention" comment has crossed my mind. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over time.

Agree. I sometimes think about their desire for attention, but subtly think their noise seems a bit dated considering today's technology.
