What does everyone think about filing a complaint with the NHTSA? Safety concerns over bearing/DU failure at high speeds? I just had it in today for a trunk leak, could not find leak…. 🙄 as for the noise; same ole…they’re willing to die on this hill; “Verified customer concern. The noise is...

Looks like someone has been tweeting @ Elon on X using #squeakytesla maybe we should all start retweeting it.

I was told the same thing except that engineering is “working on a fix”. What I want to know; are they actively seeking a solution or are they just telling us that to keep this from proceeding down a different path. If they’re working on one, fine. If they’re not; that’s a problem.

Just picked up the MY at the SC. I spoke to the advisor about my frustrations. I didn’t expect anything (info or a solution) and I didn’t get that. He did say that he has seen similar strange noises in early model year MS that were fixed with a firmware update. Not sure why I’m even posting...

I’d like to memorialize myself in this thread as one of the “victims of the chirp”. Had it at SC today before I’d found this thread. The tech heard it and I noticed a slight change in his demeanor, a bit more guarded perhaps. After reading this thread for 2 hours, I think I see why. I got the...

Makes sense. I’ve not done a ton of long trips but I’m learning the ropes. For instance that screenshot I attached, I got home with 35% so a 100% charge definitely isn’t needed. The part that throws things off a bit is the dead of winter when it’s super cold, but for spring-fall I’m figuring it out.

Ah ha, makes sense. Case closed!

My question is out of naivety. The last couple of long trips I’ve gone on, I’ve always scheduled the departure in the app to precondition the battery. Each time, the regen braking has never been available. I though preconditioning would prep the battery for regen braking, but that’s not been...

In the forum I found some people mention C-Bond. I’ll try anything this point so I ordered a kit for $75 ($20 s/h)

I’ve wondered if something like that exists. I’d be willing to try it, if so.

Great point! I can't seem to figure out how to edit the dang thing.

My example is anecdotal, for sure. But my 5 day old windshield that cracked two days ago has really got me wondering. It IS possible that the install, mfg and durability IS a Tesla problem. Just like it WAS a Subaru problem. I'm trying to see if there are any dots to connect here.

Once or twice seemed like bad luck, but by number 4 it got me wondering....

How many windshields have you replaced?

I also see distortion in mine. Luckily it’s on the passenger side. I just can’t justify continual replacement of these. Literally 5 days after the new one was installed there was a chip and crack. I don’t know how long insurance will continue to reimburse me and not looking forward to what my...
