Right now, it isn't a 10k hit. I got an offer from zoom 1k more than I paid for the car (before taxes and fees). I'm waiting because I want to trade it in and here in Florida, taxes are based on the price difference.

For me, the problem started to occur on day 9. I have no idea what changed and why I didn't feel it on Days 1-8. Something definitely changed as my wife and I both felt it immediately at the same time while driving on Day 9. I put in request asking Tesla to buy back the car and they declined.

Thanks. I don't know if it is the same as mine. They are all hearing something. I just feel a pain in my ears. Going back to your original post on this, it could be that it excites a different frequency in the Y than in the 3.

Sorry, I can't find it on the Model 3 forum. Could you or somebody else post a link? I'm desperately looking for any advice anybody has.

Thanks for the info. I will go on the Model 3 forum to see if I can find that. Any advice on what I can do about it?

I made my own to test it. Took a cardboard box, broke it down and shoved it back there. It fit perfectly. I still felt the ear pressure so I figured a real one wouldn't help. Of course, my case seems to be different from most people in that I feel it with the car sitting still and the door open.

I feel it just sitting in the car (not moving) in the garage with the door open. From reading this forum, it seems other people only feel it when the car is moving. Maybe there is just something with this car that resonates any kind of disturbance. For some people it is motion. For me it is...

If you look back in this thread, you will see that the service center in Florida did the same thing for me. It didn't help.

Nope. I have taken it in 3 times with no luck. I asked Tesla to buy it back and they said no. Like you, I think I have tried everything: adjusted the hatch bumpers, removed the hitch cover, every combination on the AC. I have used 2 barometers and an EMF sensor to try to track it down. Neither...

Thanks for the idea. My Y doesn't have the tow hitch, but I took the cover off anyways and it doesn't make a difference with the ear pain. I have adjusted the hatch bumpers (the envelope trick) multiple times and that helps a little, but the ear pressure is still there and is still bad. I...

Hmm. I feel it sometimes even when the car is parked. And the strangest thing, my wife felt it outside of the car! That sounds crazy, but the OP had the same issue.

I have used two different digital barometers to test the pressure. There isn't an increase in pressure. There are fluctuations. Doing an FFT of the pressure shows more low frequency (10hz and less) in the Tesla than in my Buick or Ford. That was another poster with the audio engineer. I have no...

It's been a week and my ears still hurt and are currently ringing. It didn't fix it. That was the third attempt at fixing it. I'm done. I need to get rid of the car. Any advice? Should I get a lawyer and try the lemon law? Or is it better to contact the service center first without a lawyer?

I just picked up my car from the service center. They said they installed these new things on the hatch to stiffen it and also let some more air out. They said that Tesla engineering had recently made these because some people have this issue. I can't remember if they really were not there before.

Thanks for the follow up. I think you mentioned your acoustician/recording engineer earlier and I was wondering why I hadn't seen more. Sorry to hear that he/she is having health issues. I pray they get better. I love the car, so I am praying/hoping that the service center fixes it.
