    Buffeting/Booming issue survey

    It's definitely not in your head and is a characteristic of the car. I've driven a few different Y's and every single one of them had this issue. The Model Y has unfortunately a loud boomy cabin. Autotrader and some other reviews mention this as well ie: "on British roads it’s let down by an...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    The 23 Y seems the same at least with the tailgate and tailgate rubber seals. At least from what I could see when I was looking for changes to that area. I test drove a 23 Y with comfort suspension and rear shelf, I was very disappointed! It was a little smoother and a little quieter on the...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I've done most of the above(I still have the stock suspension) and the suggestions from this very long thread helped quite a bit, but I was still able to sense mild pressure changes while driving on certain types of road surfaces. A month ago, I took a weighted blanked, folded it up and placed...

    What is differences between 2023 Model and 2022, others

    This is a 2023+ MY change, the cars are no longer coming with ultrasonic sensors. You are probably thinking about the radar sensor that was removed from the cars a while back.

    What is differences between 2023 Model and 2022, others

    One difference is the 2023 models will not have the ultrasonic sensors. Today, we are taking the next step in Tesla Vision by removing ultrasonic sensors (USS) from Model 3 and Model Y. We will continue this rollout with Model 3 and Model Y, globally, over the next few months, followed by Model...

    Radar getting turned off on Model 3/Y with 2022.20.9

    Maybe removing any saved wifi networks from the car would stop the car from downloading updates? I'm pretty sure, but not a 100% positive that the updates are only downloaded over wifi. Also, turning off the wifi is not sufficient due to it restarting next time you drive.

    Radar getting turned off on Model 3/Y with 2022.20.9

    I have vision only 3 and when I engage autopilot at night it turns on the auto high beams even though I have the auto high beams feature turned off in the settings. :( This does not happen on my radar equipped Y.

    Radar getting turned off on Model 3/Y with 2022.20.9

    Those of us with radar can use autopilot at night without auto high beams! I think that's a benefit since the auto high beams don't work well! It's not fun driving down the highway with them going on and off...lol!

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I would expect all new 2022's produced now and going forward to have the sound damping pad that Sandy Munro pointed out. Adding sound proofing to the wheel wells as ilovecoffee showed in his video makes a big difference!

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Yeah, one layer didn't seem to make any difference and I covered the whole 2nd shallow sub trunk area! That was before the Sandy video. I ended up with 2 or 3 layers of butyl(I don't remember sadly) in that 2nd shallow sub trunk area. I thought I have plenty of extra butyl might as well...

    No, I meant the second shallow subtrunk that in a five seater is right behind the rear seats.

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    @ilovecoffee Great video! I would like to add one more thing that I haven't seen people talk about. Around the time Cyber Rodeo was announced Tesla started adding a sound damping pad to the rear piece casting. I was watching this Munro Live video: I attempted to try to do the same with the...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    Tesla quietly removed the 7 day return policy right when the model Y was ramping up production. So most of us never had the option to return the car. Tesla’s seven-day return policy has been quietly removed

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I decided to try adding some butyl will a little bit of Norico foam on the back headliner part by the hatch. However, I did not add it to to the liner. I knocked on the frame with headliner partially unclipped and it was booming, so I applied to what I could. I didn't what to take the back...

    Hard for me to say. I weighed a 19" x 19.5" piece of Noico butyl and it weighs 1.94lbs.

    Oh wow! It does boom when I hit the front part of the head liner, I need to try the back. However it's pretty involved to take it off. :( Removing The Complete Headliner From A Tesla Model Y I would advise against lining this trim piece with butyl dampener or Dynamat, because that stuff is...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    When you mentioned that you removed the top lid of the trunk to reduce the boom, do you mean this piece? And if so, could the weight of the speaker be causing this piece to flex when going over bumps? The speakers do have a little bit of weight to them and this piece of plastic is pretty...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    The only thing I can think of that could cause ear pain when the car is not moving and door open would be the Heat Pump. I've had mine make some seriously high pitch ear piercing sounds when I first got the car while it was just sitting in the garage. Thankfully, I haven't heard it since.

    2021 Model Y lots of road noise rumble on stock 19's - any advice for improvement?

    To help with the long Ear/pain pressure mega thread that contains solutions to multiple issues. PecuniaNonOlet has a pretty good write up and pictures of trying to reduce the rumbling. Most ordered the material that were posted by gundarx

    2021 Model Y lots of road noise rumble on stock 19's - any advice for improvement?

    Most of the rumbling is theorized to be coming from the rear quarters of the car and some from the hatch. Several people on the Ear/pain pressure thread including myself have been able to reduce the rumbling by adding sound proofing inside the rear quarters. There's a reason Tesla placed the...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    For my particular Y it definitely makes a difference with the ear pain I described in a previous post. I put the cover back on to verify and the ear pain returned. :( It is totally unrelated to the other problems like booming or buffeting and will not make any difference. I did not have any...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    With my Y the ear pain, booming and buffeting were all different problems with different solutions. I solved the buffeting by adjusting the hatch stoppers as others have mentioned. I reduced the booming by adding sound proofing.

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    My wife and I were experiencing ear pain in my Model Y. It was like that ear pain feeling we get when an airplane is going in for landing. It made the car a miserable ride and I was starting to think I made a big mistake getting one! However, I solved the problem by removing the hitch cover...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    If your hatch still won't open sometimes, you will need to remove more of the butyl. When I first over did the application of the butyl, my hatch would slowly open and it did so until it finally wouldn't open anymore. So, I removed quite a bit of butyl like you did and then my hatch would...

    Remove rear trunk trim

    It's pretty easy to remove. 1. Pull up on trim by bumper, it's held in with snaps. 2. Remove the floor boards 3. Pull up on the side piece that was supporting the floor boards, it's held in with snaps 4. With a flat head screw driver pop the one press snap in the corner 5. Pop the other press...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    You guys are right! A major source of the booming is the hatch itself! I was able to take the hatch cover off after watching this video: Model Y kick sensor install Once I took the cover and banged on the metal with my hand it was clear to me this could definitely be a potential source of...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I've noticed the low frequency booming is louder when two top stops by the lights have good contact with the pads. At this point all 4 stops have good contact, so the buffeting seems to be gone. Now, if I crank them all the way in to where the top two stops don't touch, the low frequency...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    It's definitely not just you! I've had family members comment on the loud booming of the car. I've also noticed the other day if I crank the music up to drown it out, I can feel the same booming on the floor. I'm convinced it's a quirk of the car or at the very least something caused by...

    I see so many model Y owners having issues. Would you buy again?

    I would not buy a Model Y again. The ear pain/pressure was really bad when I got the car. It made the ride very uncomfortable for my wife and I. It was very pronounced on the highway. Thankfully, I have since been able to mitigate problem by removing the tow hitch cover and adjusting the A/C...

    Ear pain/Pressure help

    I feel pressure some times in my Y as well, so I was curious where the air leaves the car. I turned the A/C on high and had my wife sit in the car, while I would feel around the back of the car. I could feel air coming out of what looked like two drain holes and around the hitch cover. So I...

    Cabin noise in model Y

    I find my 62XXX 2021 Model Y to be very boomy when going over road imperfections! I drove the Y at 35MPH with no radio and ran a spectrum analyzer app.
