Separate names with a comma.
Yes, that is normal. Other vehicles I've owned exhibited this. Typically it's the first thing to rust...
Probably half of the Tesla's I encounter here in Michigan have dark window tint, so even though I attempt a quick wave of hello, I cannot see if...
You titled this "chasing" but I think you meant "passing". :p
I like to think I played a role too... :p
Whatever is leaking though will eventually stop leaking, because there isn't an infinite amount of this liquid in his vehicle. Hopefully it can be...
Sure but I figured the seat belt was stitched into the seat support on Tesla's floor, where all of the outsourced parts come together. I could be...
Doesn't Tesla make all of their seats in-house??
Different issue with mine, but same aspect- The middle seat buckle (the female side) on my car was buried under the seat upon delivery. I had to...
Just keep your expectations low. If they are exceeded, then "yay!", but if they are met, then no big deal.
Typically in the "regular" automotive industry (I know, Tesla is not a "regular" OEM), once the robotic lines can be brought in and installed into...
I agree, I prefer it to be chrome and the ability to change it to anything else. Like you said, you can't go from black to chrome with a wrap...
Perhaps. I don't think that is all it is. Note in the TSB, if the resistance is over a certain value, the tech has to elevate the issue to...
Someone else just shared that there is a TSB about this, which includes instructions on how to replace the rear ground strap, that it takes about...
I think we all like that sound. This thread is about a different persistent sound that happens while cruising, not accelerating or decelerating.
This was very similar to mine. I think mine was slightly louder, but hard to say not being in your car hearing it firsthand. Mine happened...
Though I wish I was still a member of the positive service experience club, I find it ironic the amount of people complaining about people...
I'm not in Boston and I have been nice up until they turned me away to correct a blatantly obvious problem and claimed it was normal. It took 3...
That's the thing, you shouldn't have to compare. It shouldn't be a battle. They should just have good service. The fact that a phone number to a...
Who are you asking? My car no longer whines.
If I'm feeling adventurous tonight, I'll check and see if I can find any obvious signs that the entire rear end was dropped.
Interesting. My issue only occurred while coasting, which requires feathering the accelerator pedal in our cars. Could hear it while the car was...
No labor hours on the invoice, however I was frequently checking my app to see if it was being worked on. It went into service mode some time...
What's your VIN or manufacturing date? I wonder which revision of ground strap you have. It appears you are LR RWD?
Oh yeah, that's odd. I totally pasted it in. Weird that it is gone now. Here it is: VID_20200605_064939~2.mp4
Results from the SC replacing my rear motor ground cable can be found here (post #144): High pitched noise from drive unit
My results are in... After service stated the ground strap issue doesn't apply to my vehicle, they swapped it out as a "goodwill gesture" under...
I've had a few crappy service experiences before I wrote anything here about it. So the idea goes both ways...
It's amazing what we have to go through for customer service. Worst customer service for a company this size that I have ever seen in my entire life.
I agree with this. The tech that went for a ride with me was from out-of-state. I believe he said Pittsburgh, but I don't remember exactly. He...
I still haven't heard from the SC but my app now shows an estimated completion date of 9/4 at noon, which is 3 days from now. It seems they are...
This is mine, can hear it best when I hit 48mph in this clip, around the 0:14 mark.
This is similar frequency to mine but mine is much louder in my Model 3.
**I SHALL BE REVEALED!!** lol... This was fun figuring it out with ya. Thanks again for the how-to instruction!
They still have my car. Current status is, "The ground strap replacement doesn't apply to you vehicle. Multiple techs will be driving the vehicle...
So they have my car. At first the tech that rode with me started giving me the "oh this sound is normal" garbage. After mentioning the ground...
Awesome information, everyone. I will keep this information in my pocket for my appointment at 11am today (in 70 minutes). @camalaio how long did...
The fandom page doesn't exist anymore. I wonder what happened.
What do you keep your tire pressure at?
Based on this description of your family, your car and the roof box, I had to double check that this youtuber wasn't you... lol. Great videos by...
Agreed. So far you're the only person who has had it corrected without replacing the motor. So hopefully this also corrects my issue and like you...
What rumors? Share the sauce!
At least you made it to the correct forum!!
Wrong thread? lol
Yes, that looks like the perforation of where the airbag will pop out of. Some early Model 3's also have this line visible on the steering wheel,...
How long did they have your car for?
I have a service appointment at 11am on Thursday again with the Clarkston, MI SC. I'll report back what happens. My expectations are low, sadly.
I am completely livid right now. My service appointment for this issue with Clarkston, MI had this cable ordered, then later said it wasn't for my...
On your invoice, do they list the part number of the ground strap they replaced?
I was told by both service centers I've been to (Toledo, OH & Clarkston, MI) that they use a meter to measure the sound and the spec is so wide...
Tesla will says it's normal and within spec. Any normal person will say it's obnoxious and should be corrected.
