OP needs to post more details. Miles on the car? Exactly what was the analysis by the Service Center?

Parking brake actuator noise, from P to Ror D, and back into P, is normal. My 12/20 produced MYLR has the noise. It's not always the same intensity. Our 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid has the same issue. It's annoying, but normal...

OP: How many miles? What brand tires? I've had issues with Conti tires getting very noisy as they age, but I wouldn't call it a "howl." That sounds more like a bearing.

Sigh...I've read no conclusive "real world" reports that assert that degradation is an issue, regardless of how we all try to micro-manage our charging regimens. 3 1/2 year old 2021 LR Dual Motor. I'm at 54k miles, charging always to 80%, plug in at 20%, a few dozen supercharging events (about...

Your question is so broad, there's not a definitive answer. There's no such thing as a side-by-side analysis of the cars you're comparing to the Tesla. Each manufacturer of after-market suspensions have access to a few test vehicles, but no one could afford a barn full of vehicles for comparison...

HAHAHAHA! So the existing "early warning system" is, in fact, worthless with a 12V lead acid battery. I agree that annually is overkill, but in fact, after 10 years of living in TX, with 100f degree days now occurring anytime from May to October, $80 to proactively replace the battery is a...

Teslaunch: "It perfectly covers scratches and protects the wheel hub well when scratches occur." Uhh...more than a little hyperbole. The hub is the center of the wheel, not the rim.;) How about these, to protect the wheelsl?

The OP's post title says his sound is an "Interior 'fluttering' noise." That's why I asked the question.

Which louvers? Explanation, please?

That may depend on where the car is registered/insured.

My car has had a chip since mile 80. Now at 53800 miles. Chip hasn't changed.

Yes, high temperatures are harder on an ICE 12V battery than low temps. Both extremes take their toll. Living in high-heat Texas (DFW region) I will continue to replace lead-acid battery in my Tesla every 2.5-3 years. I won't wait for a failure. That said, the 12V batteries in my Toyota...

OP: Model year? Mileage? This info always helps.

OP already paid $1000 for towing. How much does it cost to replace the blown fuse, and reset all the appropriate computers? Agree with davewill: get it done, get the car back, and then relentlessly pursue the 3rd-party charging company.

Can you post a sound clip?

nohjames: TeslaMotorsClub is an amazing source of empathetic advice for new EV owners. I rely heavily on advice given by those members that have a large number of "thumbs up" posts (you can see the number in the box to the left of the posts) If I were you, I'd revisit the service center, in...

Sorry, I was referring to diesel engines. Bad fuel (w/o appropriate lubricity) can quickly grenade a HPFP, but let's not go down that rabbit hole... ;)

Am I reading this correctly? The Tesla fuse operated exactly as designed, right? Why would this be Tesla's fault? The fuse blew before any power got past it, so I don't see how any diagnostic would show anything (just paraphrasing what others have said) If I grenade an ICE engine because of bad...

This is what I have. The foil blanket makes a big difference. When the interior is cool, after AC, the fabric is cool to the touch. However, after heat soaking the car in full sunlight, the fabric does feel warm, because of the radiant heat of the dark roof...which has high quality aftermarket...

It would be helpful to know if anyone that has had a replacement windshield actually INQUIRED about windshield manufacturers that offer different specifications, or if there actually ARE alternate sources for Tesla windshields. I highly doubt it, but I won't mind being proven wrong.

Chewy13: ALL of those 3 things are easily solved with a little elbow grease or $$. Why haven't you turned this over to a reputable tire shop for a thorough analysis? This isn't brain surgery. :)

You may need to try various cleaner/vinyl treatments to find the right one for your skin chemistry.

Read the OPs entire first post...

What year MY? Interior panels have changed a bit over the years...

HAHA! I'm in Texas. A healthy goat "bleet" is normal, even in civilized Fort Worth, home of the famous Stockyards! If I lived in a tight-knit neighborhood, though, I'd probably disable it.

Easy to forget, for so many reasons. I have my door-lock alarm set on the "goat" sound. Unmistakable and always makes me smile, and passersby are amused, as well.

How many miles? Many, many posts about a 5% degradation within the first 2 years, regardless of miles. Normal. Degradation is NON-linear, as years 3 >>> the rate of loss diminishes.

How many miles?

So, you've answered your own question. ;)

Miles on the car?

You've had this issue for over a year now, w/o a resolution?

...which is annoying if I'm taking a power nap while on a road trip....

holmgang: Continental has liability issues, like any other tire manufacturer. They would tell you directly if T0, T1, T2, etc. can be mixed and matched.

How about asking Continental what the differences are?

It would be helpful if you would post your car's year, model, when you bought it, and mileage. ;)

Is there no 240v circuit nearby that could be repurposed? Electric dryer?

UNLVAWO: I would take it to the SC and have it documented.

I picked up a chip, dead-center in front of the driver, in my first week of Tesla ownership. Repaired within 3 hours. 53k miles later, the chip hasn't spread, and after 35k miles of vigorous highway driving, several hundred miles on (YIKES) tnewly laid tar and chip, no further issues with the...

Narrow, on the edgs, same color as the screen surround. It's a very stupid change. WHY???????

SInce you've tried everything, I recommend taking it to a detail shop, or a shop that installs auto interiors. They probably have experience with this. Good luck.

Could you please provide source of this information, and where a shop could find "thicker glass...acoustic laminate..."? I'm doubtful.

Stay in Pittsburgh. Too hot here, and then there's the "football" team. Re-think your return! (Go MAVS!)

cmaster: but you're not the OP... ;)

Rates? It's still under warranty, right?

Used car? How many miles? OEM tires/wheels? Any suspension mods? Lots of variables that need to be posted.

At 68k miles, no doubt your alignment has changed, as spring/struts break in and relax. When you get new tires, it's customary to have the alignment checked. Ask them NOT to modify the settings, and get a printout from them and post it here.

It might be interesting to know how your alignment is dialed in. Maybe that's the secret. :) PSI? Kept at 42psi?

87% highway? I guess that's the secret. 86% or below, and the life of the tire drops dramatically... 🤣 I'm curious. Do you live adjacent to all your "highway" driving? Do you ever punch the throttle, or do you always just idle up to highway speed? Do you routinely travel the speed limit...

What was the original question? :eek:

Seriously? You won't get any help without a general location. There's zero security risk.
