    High Frequency Noise/Hum-New Model Y

    I have this high pitch tinnitus-like sound when on freeway and only when pressing the accelerator high, it was annoying. Following some people on this thread, I ended up buying a 1inx1in square foam strip on amazon and just stuffed/lined it up around the penthouse perimeter seal when I removed...

    Model Y noise when waking starting up car cricket/chirping sound

    Hi, I have a 2023 Model Y LR that makes a weird sound (like cricket chirping for 12seconds then stop) whenever I wake the car up from sleep by opening the door. The sound comes from somewhere in the front body of car. The ac/heat system setting was off during these instances, no charging was...

    Mod: adding Footwell ambient interior light to SR+ partial premium

    For the footwell light wire, I cut them out from their original power wire and added the my power wire in, so no T tap on that, but for the power you would need to T-tap from somewhere that has power such as the middle console light that I mentioned OR the power from 12V VC left remote in...

    Mod: adding Footwell ambient interior light to SR+ partial premium

    Lights only stays on IF you are powering from the cigarette lighter slot, or maybe usb slots. Totally different from what I'm using. My setup doesn't do that, it uses different area of power, either from the 1st post I mentioned or from the 12v VCLeft Remote (red wire). Your method will not...

    Extra interior lights on SR+ during update!

    Would be nice to have those without tinkering the car. I was able to mod my SR+ car to add the lights. Just another option; it isn't that simple but not too overly complicated, here

    Mod: adding Footwell ambient interior light to SR+ partial premium

    SR / SR + I recently got time to add more lights to my car. I added a small light that shines down the phone charging area. I also added two lights that shines down for the rear passenger seats. I used the 12v VCLeft Remote (red wire) as power. This powers the light on when car starts and...

    Model 3 subwoofer install.

    I tested out more placement of the pioneer 10" shallow sealed sub and tried facing it up instead of down in the sub-trunk area and it made a significant different for me. Reduced majority of the rumbling/distortion that I hated and now I think I'm quite satisfied with my 10" sub.

    Model 3 subwoofer install.

    I'm in the same boat, haha...I got a 12" sealed and hated it because it's very loud/rumbling...went to a 10" sealed and still not somewhat satisfied... I might have to go to a 6" or 8". I never really like cars that pass by that you can hear/feel their sub so I guess I was never a bass person.

    Near freeway divider collision - on autopilot

    You are not the only one, I traveled that same path before and experienced the close near-hit at that exact spot with AP on (no fsd). Tried it for two more times and also same result so I never have AP on at that area if on the far left lane.

    Brackets to install Aftermarket Speakers in Model 3

    Or just get this torx t20 set for 10$ that is more compact and no need to worry that the bit will fall out into oblivion when you are working in the car :)

    Model 3 subwoofer install.

    That's massive...looks good in that red color :) Did you power from the stock battery from the frunk? I heard that it had caused comp. error to some users in the past.
