    Vibrating steering wheel when retracting

    Is there an update to this vibration noise/issue? I just noticed something similar to my car as well.

    Front License plates

    Last month, I was in a shopping plaza for dinner in Rowland Heights. There was a cop writing tickets to parked cars without a front license plate. He walked over to my car, and gave me a verbal warning While proceeding to write more tickets. I had always thought front plate was a cheap fix it...

    Wiper Blade Replacement Tesla Model Y

    I still haven’t bought any new rubber replacement for the wipers. Is there such a thing as a premium rubber? Or that “premium” is just a marketing word?

    Wiper Blade Replacement Tesla Model Y

    Thank you for the detailed explanation, and the Youtube link-it helped a lot. I was not able to remove the rubber cleanly from both ends. So I was able to squeeze one end of the cap off, but not the other side. I realized maybe more pictures will help future onlookers to show them the job isn't...

    Here’s a pretty thorough walkthrough and explanation of this using the left scroll wheel.

    Driver seat control panel loose

    Just found this issue on my 2021 Jul build as well. 30k miles in. Will bring it to SC Wednesday since mobile service wasn’t an option.

    Steering Wheel off center?

    No, they didn't. I think they just wanted to close my service request out and move on to another one. But you made me look at the detailed invoice, and it looked like they replaced the front suspension arms and links when they couldn't figure out why they couldn't align the wheels.

    Steering Wheel off center?

    Circling back to close my own threads for future onlookers. Apparently, the technicians needed to replace the suspension links. And after 30 hours, my car officially drives perfectly straight with a straight steering wheel as well 😌

    Steering Wheel off center?

    Sorry, I don’t know much about car parts. All I know is, I waited for my wheel alignment for 5 hours, and it’s the 3rd attempt for SC to try to straighten my steering wheel. 1st attempt didn’t fix the steering wheel off center. 2nd attempt screwed up the alignment so the car started veering...

    Steering Wheel off center?

    I had asked this when a mobile tech came out to replace my steering wheel. He said and showed me the way steering wheel is attached to the base, there was a metal bump that prevents steering wheel from tilt adjustment. So it made production easy without needing to worry about leveling the...

    after FSD update "Front passenger safety restraint system fault"

    This happened to me a couple months ago. Unrelated to updates IMO. Then I opened up a ticket, mobile service came and installed a desensitized cable then it’s fixed. Found this explanation from someone in this forum… sorry I don’t remember who but here’s what he said: “The issue is that the...

    Chirping/squeaking sound coming from rear when going over bumps/rough road

    Its held in by only two screws, the rest are just clips that need a little pulling force. Hope you get rid of that rattle! 😁

    Chirping/squeaking sound coming from rear when going over bumps/rough road

    Try rear door panel. I took it off and taped a cable to stop a rattle. But i ID the noise by sitting in the back and finding the location of the rattle so your car could be different.

    2022 Model 3 SR+ fan noise coming from frunk.

    following up with my previous question as we both have the exact same clipping noise. My noise has gone away completely after driving a few hundred more miles. I had done nothing except scheduling a service appointment. I suspect the issue was simply road debris and it rattled itself out of the...
