    What is this high pitched cricket like noise?

    I found this thread a couple of weeks ago. I picked up a new ‘23 M3 in mid December. Immediately I started hearing this hissing noise whenever the car would hit 55mph. At first I thought it was air hissing into the cabin. Five trips to the SC, four rides with techs and an adjusted driver’s...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    This is pretty much exactly my problem as well. I’m now on my 5th service center visit to correct the wind noise problem. 1st on the date of pick up at the delivery location and now 4 additional trips to my local service center all to fix the same problem. I’ve done two drives with Tesla...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    It wasn’t wind noise. It was an audible hissing sound similar to when a tire is being deflated or compressed air is being shot out of a hose. You would hear ordinary wind and roadway sounds until the car got to about 55-60mph. Once the car was at highway speeds you could hear the audible...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    I’m asking because I’m quickly approaching Lemon Law thresholds. I picked up my new M3 LR on Dec 14th. The car has been in to the Tesla service center 4 times now and I’ve only had the vehicle at home with me one night since I bought it. First problem was the day I bought. There was an air...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    I spoke with the service center manager about the damaged trim. I kind of got the impression she wasn’t paying attention to what I was actually saying or just didn’t care all that much. I added it in the app and snapped some cell phone pics as well just so it’s documented. Hopefully they...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Getting a little frustrated with Tesla. I picked up my new M3 LR on Dec 14th. This is my second Tesla. Previously had a MX LR. On the drive home I noticed an audible hissing noise almost like air was leaking whenever the car got to highway speeds. I immediately brought the car back to...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Had you previously opted out of arbitration when you ordered the car? Or did they agreed to a Lemon buyback despite being able to force you into binding arbitration? Federal Law is not consumer friendly when it comes to arbitration. Abundant court decisions have held that a contractual...

    Discussion : All discussion regarding Model 3 and Tax credit in model 3 subforum

    Please keep in mind that the the Do you normally get a tax return at the end of the year or do you normally owe the IRS? If you always get a return then take the $3,750 off the car now in December. The 2023 EV tax credit is NOT REFUNDABLE. That means you can only take advantage of it if...

    VIN assigned 11/22. Expected Delivery 12/6-12/16. How to postpone delivery to January? Austin or Fremont build better?

    I can confirm Tesla is offering a $3750 rebate on both the Model Y and Model 3 if you accept delivery in December. I took delivery of a new 2023 Model 3 on December 14th and I got the $3750. They are trying to incentivize people to pick up their cars this month instead of waiting for January...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Quick update. I took the car into the service center. Tesla determined there was a problem with the door, but they can’t fix it on site. It needs to be sent to the body shop. They gave me a loaner, but still I’m a bit frustrated with the situation. These are things that should be caught...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    I just took delivery on a new M3 on Wednesday. When I got the car up to highway speeds it seemed like there was more wind noise than there should have been. At first I thought one of the windows might have been slightly down or one of the doors slightly open. When I was got home I had a...

    specific flow of lease return process, anyone?

    You can pick whatever date you like in the app. Just keep in mind if you go too far past your lease maturation date they may charge you for an additional month. The inspection is valid for either 30 or 45 days. Just as the tech during inspection. I forget the exact amount of time he told...

    specific flow of lease return process, anyone?

    I just recently returned my 2019 Model X. I only got charged $85 dollars for some road rash on my rims. No other issues. Tesla does charge a $395 Lease Disposition Fee which they will waive if you buy or lease another Tesla. So in the end I only had to pay $85, not the end of the world.

    specific flow of lease return process, anyone?

    Once you start the lease return on the the first thing is Tesla will eventually contact you, probably by email, to schedule an inspection. A tech will come out to you and visually inspect the car. No much to it, just looking for damage to the exterior and interior. They also measure tire...

    Door is within spec

    I had an alignment issue with my Falcon wing doors on my 2019 Model X that was similar. Tesla gave me a hard time about fixing it. One thing I would recommend is that you open both falcon wing doors and the rear lift gate at the same time and see if everything has enough room to fully open...

    Poor Delivery / Lease Return Experience

    Just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience. I just came to the end of a lease on a 2019 MX Long Range. I ordered a 2023 MS Plaid in July. I gave the RN to the Tesla Loyalty guy and asked please have it so I can return the car on the same day I pick up the new one. No problem he...
