I think I fixed the problem. The sound seems to come from these things. I ordered small paint sponge and inserted them inside like this. So far, it seems the noise disappears. I need to drive more to confirm but that seems to get better. I am still super disappointed by Tesla approach...

Update: I was finally able to take the seat off and check the rear seat buckle and that is not the cause. But when I fold the rear seats down the sounds disappear. So this is definitely something related to the rear seats. And will investigate more. 🤔🤔🤔

Thanks for the information and the picture. It seems it might be the source and I will attempt your trick. In fact, I also believe this came from the top but I might be totally wrong. Question: how do you pull the seats? I tried but it does not seem to come up. Did you force it? Thanks!

I believe that when I purchase a car at $60k, I will be covered for any manufacturing defects. So far, Tesla never charged me to fix precious squeak, paint mismatch (the door did not match the rest of the car). I do not think this is fair to charge a customer for a car that should not have...

I contacted my service center and they want to charge me $124 for that, even if I already brought the vehicle twice for this very problem. Apparently, rattles/noise are not covered by the warranty and just fixed for 6 months as a courtesy. I was totally unaware of this and very surprised that...

Thanks a lot. I do have an appointment with the service center and will bring this information to them. I will also try to isolate the issue this weekend.

What? Which one? The right or the left?

Hi folks, I have my Model Y since July last year. I always had a rattle and put the car twice in service for repairs and they never fixed it. There are two videos that shows what the rattle is Anybody had such a rattle and fixed it? If yes, what was the culprit? Thanks!

Good luck waiting, I am enjoying my Model Y since 6 months now :-)

I think this video explains everything. A must see.

FYI, I pay $140 in CA for a Model Y LR. Never had a claim and I drive in the US since 8 years.

Totally within tesla specs.

Thanks for all this information folks, very useful!

It depends on the painting process. Cars painted in a body shop are not painted the same at the factory. Depends on the number of coats, the e-coating process, etc.). You cannot compare both. Again, that comes from people designing paints for the biggest manufacturers (Toyota, Renault, etc)...

Since I have my Model Y and saw this thread, I pay more attention to other white cars and I totally agree with you. I also have a friend working as a researcher in one of the largest paint manufacturer and she told me white is one of the hardest color to match on different materials. It seems we...
