Saw this 2021+ Model Y sitting in the parking lot of my work that was making some kind of chirping noise. https://streamable.com/i7ih6r Don't think I've ever seen or heard this before. What could possibly be making that noise?

I'd call up a service center and have them remotely take a peek at your car as it sounds like something is whacked up with your software. FSD suspension with zero disengagement is not normal unless it thinks you're using a cheat device.

When the rear seat squeaks/shakes and vanishes when the seat is folded down, it's most likely this stupid condom / plastic sock thing that comes off over time: Contrary to what he says in the video, don't just put it back on. It will come off again. Instead, wrap a single layer of gaff or...

It bothers me because it's too sensitive, because the people who built the car don't actually experience different weather patterns. No means of submitting feedback, and the only option the driver has is to accept it or sell the car. I see windshield wipers as another consumable scam right up...

I have, yes. FSD Beta. Seattle tends to sprinkle mist and my experience has been absolutely awful. The wipers engage to medium speed and it wipes on a dry windshield 5 times over just for a few tiny droplets. Worst case scenario is I may have to cut the wire on the wipers and install a physical...

The update from hell... ugh. I had 2022.24.5 pending. I knew I should have updated. Tesla took it away today and gave me 2022.20.9 instead. Not updating. I hate auto wipers so much. It was the worst part of FSD Beta and the main reason why I opted out of it. I use rain repellent product on my...

Highly depends. I doubt SEC is going to ignore the whole Twitter debacle and Elon's meltdown/midlife crisis/whatever it is that's going on with him. There's a good chance he may be removed off Tesla permanently, and whoever steps up to take over may not share the radarless vision. I can only...

Wow, someone actually wants the OEM one? I ended up getting Ottosteer for easy removal. I only put it on for long road trips. Lotta tweakers where I live, and some loser will jack your front license plate.

Every part I've replaced in the vehicle thus far has not been stocked at my local Tesla. I typically have to wait 2 weeks.

2020 Model 3 and onward uses the latest revision of the control arms, which should not typically encounter this issue. Likewise, control arm squeaks are LOUD and anyone outside of the vehicle will hear it. For other squeaks, especially in newer models, I would double check with a chassisEAR. I...

Oh boy, this must be extremely stressful given it's a brand new car. I will say this is definitely not typical or normal by any means. Absolutely. If it is a failing 12V, they at least owe you a replacement. For a battery to die 15 days out is ridiculous. Tesla will have logs of everything...

So I checked out my car just now and sure enough, this is exactly what is making the noise. Here you can see the damn piece of plastic slipped off: From the driver side rear door, I removed the panel near the seatbelt (pull from the bottom), then I unplugged the cable and removed the two...

2021 Model 3 here.. I too have this same exact noise, and I also think it's coming from the cylinder. The sound stops whenever either: 1. The seats are down. 2. Someone is sitting in the back. 3. Temporarily, if I spray silicone WD-40 into the cylinder. Have yet to find a permanent fix. I will...

That's why I'm saying ya'll should keep emailing [email protected] and get them to fix this. I've sent them 3 emails over the past month. The more people we have complaining, the faster they will fix it. Not having live sentry and waypoints over some dumb bug is really starting to tick me off as...

That's exactly what happened to me as well. It's clearly related to FSD Beta. Wrote multiple emails to [email protected] and went completely ignored. I spoke with a service rep over the phone who told me that they slowly build up your firmware after downgrading back to avoid issues, but how true...

I suggest resetting the password via forgot password link under the login page. This should invalidate all tokens.

Welcome to the club. :) Yeah it's normal and pretty typical of Tesla. My delivery date was postponed by an entire month back in March. Played out pretty much as you described. They will be able to tell you if the car's on the delivery truck closer to the date. I can't say if you'll get your car...

Keep in mind that 40.6 has a problem with the charge port closing too fast: They may have halted updates because of it. It's supposedly resolved in 44.5, so I'd just sit back and relax until they push that out to everyone. Pretty sure neither you nor Tesla want your vehicle serviced because...

It's normal. get_vehicle_data queries the live status of your vehicle and fails with "vehicle unavailable" when your car is sleeping. The only way to get around it is to wake up the vehicle first. POST to https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/{{:vehicleId}}/wake_up I recommend...

New cars get their first update within a month, so you'll see it really soon. The people here aren't blocked by new car firmware, but by something else. Lots of us are stuck on 2021.36.5.1, 2021.36.5.5, 2021.36.5.8 and 2021.36.8. It really sucks when everyone you know has 40.6 with live sentry...

You sure about that? Telsa is upgrading 2021.36.8 (live sentry update) people to 2021.40.6. If this is true, then they'd be losing the feature.

I would take it even over wifi if I could. This 2021.36.5.8 branch is so lame, as is Tesla's cherrypicking of people who can get 2021.36.8. Months of no updates, only breaking smart summon.

For the 2021.36.5.6 folk, are you standard or advanced updates?

Does anyone have any DYI solutions for fixing the Model 3's rear fender liners? It's the same fabric crap that warps when it gets wet. I replaced the one underneath the car with an aluminum cover, but there's no replacements for the wheel well afaik. Car's only 8 months old and this thing was...

I'd say both. Rolling out FSD beta to the general public will accelerate FSD development for all.

I see, I thought as much. From one perspective, I'm looking forward to vision simply because I've had numerous occasions where autopilot doesn't see cyclists or bushes. On the other hand, I'm worried about having a smooth driving experience on the freeways.

Does the car run in radarless vision mode even if you toggle off FSD beta in the settings? Kinda scared to cripple autopilot after reading all of the horror stories about high beam flashing and phantom breaking.

Guessing you got a FCW?

Don't worry, you're not alone. The medium setting had always been way too sensitive for me. I drive relying mostly on regen braking and get forward collision warnings from time to time when on the medium setting. I guess I don't fit Tesla's cutout of their ideal driver, even though I've been...

That is true. There is risk, however small, of cracking the glass due to the glass acting as a heat sink. Your tinter just doesn't want to be liable for it, because you know how people are. I got mine tinted without a second thought. If the glass cracks, it cracks. I'd just get it replaced...

You don't need to go to 100% to get 200 miles. 70-80% will get you 251 miles, and based on my experiences it's pretty accurate.

While I am not implying I don't believe you, I've personally had many issues with my USB drive since I purchased the vehicle. It used to constantly vanish, stop working, sometimes show "malfunctioned", etc. I find that letting the car format it causes more problems for me. Instead, I plug it...

I took delivery on March 2021. Car was assembled in Fremont and still had the cheap wool cotton blend undercarriage material. I guess I should be thankful I at least have my radar. Or you live in Seattle, where the freeways flood with about 6 inches of water and you have no choice but to plow...

It is odd that you don't have the heated steering wheel. You sure you don't have it? The extended wood trim layout was initially introduced in China, and those cars came with everything: heated steering wheels, metal speaker grills, and hard plastic aero shield panels underneath the car. My...

My car already updated. I'm talking about the factory reset issue when you attempt to restart your dash by holding the steering wheel buttons, and that is what Tesla said they'll take a few weeks to investigate. It's happening to people even on 2021.4.15. I am saying that if you do this, expect...

You talking about the official all-weather mats? The driver's side mat doesn't cover the footrest. I believe the older Model 3 models had a rubber footrest, but the 2021 model is just bare carpet. Since the mat doesn't cover it, your foot basically rests on the carpet. Based on my experience...

In my opinion, a lot of the "official" accessories are a poor fit. I ended up returning the weather mats because they obviously don't account for the carpeted foot rest on the 2021 model. The trunk liner was a poor fit, and I didn't even bother with the frunk. The 3M paint protection film was...

I got the whole roof tinted. First time I heard of anything about cracking. If heat from the film application causes your roof to crack, it sounds like the tempered glass in your roof was faulty from the start. Better to discover it now and replace it than find out in a downpour or some other...

I called support when it happened, and they pulled down the logs remotely to investigate. They told me it'll take a few weeks. It seems like it isn't just me though. I just saw some people on Reddit talking about this very issue. It seems like Model Y is impacted by this bug as well, and it's...

Man, the kagu mats are available on Amazon again? So many regrets buying from PartCatalog. They're delaying the front mats by over a month. :( I don't even know why they're being shipped separately and not in a bundle.

I've had a case where Autopilot didn't see a bicyclist on the side of the road, as well as problems with it braking on freeways because it thinks the toll flashers are a traffic signal. As such, I am very wary about what it does. I agree with you though, it is extremely impressive, especially...

I know my parents would complain or give me some snarky comment about my driving if I let go of the accelerator fully. :) I'll admit it did take me a couple rides to smooth out the accelerator, and after 3 weeks or so I'm at a point where I can adapt and smooth out the regen pretty easily, even...

My M3 was delivered March 18th. Still stuck on 2020.47.104 and waiting for an update. I think the biweekly update myth is a bust at this point. I believe there are other factors at play here. Normally I would be patient and enjoy the car as is, but sentry mode is extremely unstable and my car...

My Model 3 wakes up and makes noises the moment I walk into the garage. There's hums, pops, hisses, etc. Thing's a spaceship.

In my case, the screen goes black and it doesn't come back. Only way I can get it to come back is to exit the car, lock and unlock it. This actually happened twice. Yesterday, it didn't factory reset. I thought it was just some bizarre bug. Today, the same thing happened and it actually wiped...

My car is stuck on 2020.47.104. Spent hours trying to get Tesla service to push an update - something which should take them a couple minutes at most, but a bunch of broken promises for callbacks later, I got absolutely nowhere. Been having a lot of issues with sentry mode and overall bluetooth...

Oh wow, that's perfect. I actually just bought their mudguards. Thanks for the link.

Apologies for the bump. It seems the "Made in China" Model 3 has the Model Y-like hard plastic aero shield, along with a bunch of other improvements. :/ Any idea what part # this is or if it's possible to get it in the US? I'm shocked that Fremont is still installing the same old composite...
