OK, these are pictures of each of my strut braces, with the same shop rags that have been in place for the last couple of years.

To answer your question: I removed the bolts from each of the strut braces. I never tried it with just one bolt removed, but since 100% of the noise was gone with both bolts removed, I just left it that way. Also, for what it’s worth (and I don’t know if this matters), I put a zip tie around the...

The reason the strut rattle is heard in the passenger compartment is because of how the sound travels through the frame of the car. The fix that I detailed above stops that noise from traveling. It doesn’t change what goes on within the struts. It simply makes it so the noise is not heard...

I fixed this front end suspension rattle issue with two red shop rags. Two years ago, I had a conversation with a Tesla technician who told me about Tesla Service Bulletin SB-18-31-009 that describes a way to get rid of the suspension noise. Although the bulletin is for 2017-2018 cars, the fix...

Thank you, DerbyDave, for your suggestions, but unfortunately, none of them worked. If I turn off the automatic navigation, I see it being saved in my profile, and if I turn it back on, it shows it being saved again. But it doesn’t fix the problem. And, even after creating a new profile, the...

My iPhone’s calendar automatically syncs to my 2019 Raven Model S, but, even though I have automatic navigation turned on in the car settings, the navigation map does not automatically show directions to the next appointment in my calendar when I get into my car. It used to work some time ago...

I’m wondering if there are any owners of 2019 or 2020 Model S “ Raven“ cars who have had their car’s front struts replaced due to front end suspension rattles? If so, if you could describe the sort of rattle you were experiencing and what Service Center did the replacement, it would be much...

Along with most dictation commands not working with this update (including “bug report“ of all things!), there is a major problem with the Messages system as well. Often, when I press the scroll wheel to reply to a message and then dismiss the Messages system after dictation fails to work, the...

Along with most dictation commands not working with update 40.50.1 (including “bug report“ of all things!), there is a major problem with the Messages system as well. Often, when I press the scroll wheel to reply to a message and then dismiss the Messages system after dictation fails to work...

I’m having the same problems with the 2019.50.1 update. Voice recognition doesn’t work most of the time, and soft or hard reboot don’t fix it. Also, saying “bug report“ doesn’t work anymore either! The one method that Tesla left us to report problems doesn’t work. Quite ironic for an update...

I’m having the same issue with my car after the 2019.36 (and the 2019.40) update. The seatbelt chime is way longer than it used to, and it never used to do it after the car was in park. Why should it ring after the car is in park anyway?

Perhaps you already found the solution for this, but if not, it is due to the recent update that brought “Summon Standby mode“ to the car. It keeps the computer on 24/7 just so you can save two seconds when using Summon mode. Doesn’t seem like a good trade off. To turn off Summon Standby mode...

That’s wonderful news! I would love to be able to show your Repair Order to my service center, so I’m wondering if you might be willing to upload or send your RO (after redacting your personal information, of course)?

Nope, not yet. Though I am hoping this conversation will bring such an expert to our attention! Unfortunately, there’s a lot of money to be earned by someone who is a wizard at de-noising a Tesla!

Exactly!
