I've tried disabling the front motor as well to no avail (I have the MYP and can disable the front motor in track mode). The noise is still there.

Same. I also had my FDU replaced and the replacement sounds about the same as the one pre-replacement. I also have a second Model Y, and that was is near silent from what I've seen (it's my wife's daily drivers so I don't have as many miles logged in it). I've largely just learned to live with...

I can definitely hear it in the video. As far as I know, no definitive fix yet. :( You might also want to subscribe to What is this high pitched cricket like noise? where many other owners have discussed the issue there. It's has been said that Tesla Engineering knows about the issue and is...

Every Tesla absolutely does NOT have it. My Model Y has this cricket/screeching/chirping noise. My wife's Model Y does not. The loaner Model Y that I received while mine was in the shop does not. I've driven other Teslas that also do not have this noise. I know what Tesla noises sound normal...

Right turns and left incline from Dadaaaaaaa's post would in both situations have more oil is heading to the left side of the front drive unit. Does anyone know if it's difficult to see if the FDU is lacking oil? And/or to top it off if necessary? I've only been able to see on instance where...

For what it's worth, I did go through the process of having multiple appointments and finally did get my front drive unit replaced on my Model Y. Unfortunately, the new drive unit was not as quiet as I would have hoped. While they had my MYP at the shop, they gave me a MYLR loaner which never...

I'm hoping that is the case and that this isn't going to be the status quo for them moving forward. I can't imagine that this is acceptable in any fashion. Honestly, I'd probably have already bought a second Model Y to replace another vehicle if I didn't have this issue with the first one. The...

For sure check out the thread here. Lots of people have been having that same issue each with their own degree of success (or frustration) in trying to get this fixed. Following this issue for a while, it sounds like Tesla Engineering is aware of the problem and are actively looking into why...

I can't speak for everyone, but my sound does not stop when power is applied to the wheels and going in a straight line. My noise is consistently intermittent when power is applied, when regenerative braking is happening, or when the car is coasting (verified by putting the vehicle in track...

Just curious which SC you went to in MN that you had better experience at? I have an appointment last week, but my visit a few weeks ago didn't get me anywhere. If the SC that you have has better results with this issue, maybe I'll change my appointment to that location (if it isn't the one that...

Reading back through Happy Hippo's posts, his sound was constant as I read it and never faded in an out like many of us other folks have. That leads me to believe that his sound may have had a different cause than the rest of us?

Yup. I was never convinced that it was power to the front motor unit that was causing the problem since the noise was always still present even with no power applied and while decelerating, etc. I could see it being a bearing that was out of spec or under lubricated. The sound definitely has...

Good question. I have a MYP so I went out tonight and played with track mode. I shifted the power to 100% rear wheels and 0% front wheels. Vehicle still made noise at the usual speeds. But I guess that also seems to jive with the fact that it makes noise while coasting in neutral. I turned off...

For what it's worth, I've tried the prolonged right turn at speed (mostly using exit ramps) and the sound still manages to happen during those. So I'm not sure that is going to be a universal fix for everyone. Just for kicks, I experimented tonight with driving on the highway, letting the high...

Interesting. I went through and scheduled an appointment in my app for service and never was brought to a page like the one that you posted. I cancelled my appointment for the time being. I'm not ready to go through the whole song and dance again just yet. As they continue to get more reports...

That kind of the worst part of the whole thing. I don't mind going back to the SC multiple times to get them to hear and resolve the problem. But it sounds like Tesla doesn't have a firm grip on what the problem is or how to definitively fix it. So we're left with having them make educated...

The sound is similar, but my issue isn't coming from that speaker. I jammed a towel up near that speaker and wedged it into place as I went for a drive. The high pitched noise is still there and is loud as ever.

That was almost my exact experience. I did a ride along with a tech who was able to hear the problem first hand. I left the car there for them to diagnose further and received the car back the following evening with comments in the notes that they couldn't replicate the sound (I have no idea how...

I had my appointment with the local SC here this week. I was able to demonstrate to the technician that did a ride along with me that the sound was there and that he was able to hear what I was talking about. I left the car there and it sat overnight until someone could look at it the next day...

AAKEE discussed this back earlier in this thread along with some real world examples from his own vehicle. I'd recommend you go back and read that post for more information.

Tesla lets you set the slider anywhere from 50% to 90% (daily range) or up to 100% (for maximum trip range). There are hash marks every 10%. What is the best experience and what's best for your car can be different things. For people with long daily needs or people that want maximum available...

Tesla doesn't provide a mechanism for you to go below 50% within their app or the vehicle itself. But sure, if you wanted to unplug or otherwise discontinue charging at 20%, from the data presented it would seem to indicate that that is indeed what would provide the lowest calendar aging for the...

Maybe a situation where someone is a secondary care giver to someone with unstable health issues? Or where you may be responsible for providing care to an elderly relative in case of an emergency? And maybe that person lives in a small town 75+ miles away where you can't conveniently charge to...

Excerpts from the manual have been quoted in this thread. The FAQ has been quoted in this thread. Various portions of research papers have been pasted into this thread along with numerous other documentation authored by Tesla. I'd argue that plenty of evidence has been brought forth to indicate...

Fair point. If your EV was your only vehicle and you were worried about needing maximum range at the drop of a dime, I could see the desire to keep it charged to 90%. I do have the luxury of having two other ICE vehicles in my garage that I could use in such an emergency situation. If I...

I hadn't seen those images before. Thanks for sharing! Given the slider change and verbiage ("to maximize battery longevity, only charge to the level needed") was provided directly from Tesla, that's rather telling that their research supports there being a difference between the high and low...

I have read the manual and the FAQ. The manual doesn't really specify values and only says to charge to "the level of charging you want". The FAQ is a little more clear in that it says to charge "within the 'Daily' range bracket, up to approximately 90%". That still doesn't clarify how 50% is...

Perfect. Thanks for your reply and input. Low overnight SoC it is with charging to conclude shortly before I expect to depart. I appreciate the research that you've put in and shared with this forum.

Need to take delivery by the time the rule changes. Fortunately we're three days into March and I haven't heard of anything being announced yet. No news is good news for folks still waiting to take delivery.

I do understand that I'm splitting hairs and going above an beyond what is needed. But it's really not an inconvenience to me either way, so I'm happy to micromanage my charging in a way that maximizes longevity. I do plan to keep my car for 5+ years (my oldest car in the garage is 8 years old...

Based on what I've read, I'm sold on keeping my vehicle charged to its lowest SoC that suits my driving needs for a daily basis is what works best for me. For my needs, I'm easily able to stay at 50% for a target charge level and have more than enough capacity for my driving needs. My question...

I don't think anyone here is going to deny the fact that there is going to be degradation. Of course there will be degradation. The question is if changing your charging habits can alter the speed of the degradation and if altering ones charging habits are worth it to try and keep degradation...

Count me in as 50. I made an appointment with the SC to get it checked out.

Might as well just wait and see. You're already out the $250 order fee whether you cancel now or cancel later. No harm in waiting at this point.

As you might have noted, that's *way* high for what they've been selling for. You'd be honestly lucky to get $2500 for them, although sets have recently been going for closer to $2000.

It's about maintaining the maximum capacity of your battery for as long as possible. Say for example a new vehicle gives an owner 300 miles of range. If someone charges at 90% all the time and their battery degrades by 20% after 8 years, their maximum range is now 240 miles. If someone...

Just to add fuel to the fire :), I came across the following: Granted, that tweet was from back in 2018 and who knows if anything has changed in Tesla battery technology between 2018 batteries and those from 2023. But there clearly is some difference between having your SoC at different...

Filling a gas tank in a ICE vehicle to 1/2 way has no beneficial effect that I can think of (other than maybe the slight weight savings that you get from having less mass in the vehicle) vs filling it to 100% . But frequently charging a battery to 50% vs charging it to 90%, based on what I've...

1. Based on my driving, the lowest my car has gotten to was 37%. I follow the rule of ABC (always be charging). As soon as I get back in the garage (unless I know I'm heading out again very soon), I typically plug the car back in (with 50% limit). My charger is literally right next to where I...

I mean Tesla's official stance (from Home Charging - Frequently Asked Questions) is: "Up to approximately 90%" is different from "charge to 90%" Hence some people charging at the lower range of that daily range bracket trying to maximize battery longevity. I think Elon said someplace that he...

50% charge gives me around 150 miles or range. My typical drive is less than 10 miles. If you assume I need to get back home after that 10 miles, call it 20 miles between charges typically. I just don't see any reason to charge up to 90% when I'm typically back in 20 miles to charge back up...

It's more of protecting the battery from losing capacity as much as possible, so that if/when I need to take a trip that requires a significant distance I'll have maximum range available due to less battery degradation. Just because I don't use my range to the fullest on a daily basis does not...

Did you ask the SC if they could allow you to take delivery of the vehicle and just not let you drive it off the lot until after the wiper arm got fixed? That would seem like the easiest way to ensure that you take delivery before March to qualify for the tax credit. I have a hard time seeing a...

I think there are some that believe that keeping your battery closest to 50% minimizes the degradation of the overall battery over its lifetime. And others that believe that as long as you're staying under 90%, the benefits of trying to stay around 50% aren't really worth the hassle and the...

I believe it was a MYLR buyer that just wanted 21s for the summer. I also just wanted a square setup with a more forgiving ride and cheaper tires down the road. I went with aftermarket 19s. Ended up paying out of pocket to replace 21s with 19s... but most importantly is that I have the set of...

Wheels, tires, and TPMS. I just sold a set for $2200 with the above. I got ZERO interest at anything over $2500. I had multiple people interested at $2000 exactly (along with a few low ball offers for like $1500). Ultimately was able to find a buyer at $2200. And that was basically for brand...

I don't know that the wheel quality of an Uberturbine would be worth that much more than an Induction wheel? The tires are likely to cost more though. That said, there seems to be a flood of folks looking to trade their 21" Uberturbines for a set that is less harsh and prone to damage. There...

SOLD

I do pause the music when using Spotify before exiting. The next time I enter the vehicle though, Spotify will start playing again. It doesn't seem to remember the paused state. I've heard it also happening with the Apple Music service as well.

I've been seeing this problem as well when I use Spotify with the vehicle. What worked for me yesterday was prior to exiting the vehicle, to switch the car to radio and then turn the volume off with the left steering wheel button. The next time I enter the car, it's peacefully silent. I've also...
