NF4737xx. No yoke noise. But I do get this strange cooing noise every 10 seconds behind the main screen.Sounds like something is activating or rotating at fixed intervals. Very annoying.
Edit ‘M’ in VIN corrected to ‘N’. Thanks @n2mb_racing .

What software version are you on? That was fixed in a recent update.
Also, did you mean NF473xxx for your VIN? Yours is a '22, right?
Old SW: 2021.43.202
I’m stuck on factory island release and waiting for Service appointment to fix. Glad it has been corrected. I recall reading about it some time ago and nothing recently.
‘22 Refresh 2.0. NF. Correct. Thanks.

It was a high point, when something was actually fixed in the software...Oh man, I miss the Dove
Hi! So, this is literally the hardest thing to find any information about. I have had one SC tech confirm it is tied into the brake systems. Can anyone confirm or elaborate more?

Are you able to break it down with a little more explanation of what it does?

Tesla mobile service came out last week and replaced my rear seat bottom cushion due to some odd wrinkles at the leading edge of the seat behind the driver's seat. I actually helped the technician do this. The seat pops out very easily via two small manual switches/levers at the front edge (bottom) of the seat cushion. Getting the new seat in is a bit of a pain, but it went in just fine with some grunting and pushing.
I was surprised by how lightweight the seat bottom was when we had it out of the car. Like maybe 10-15 lbs - easy for a single person to carry around with no problem. Certainly way lighter than what I expected.
One funny thing I noticed when we had the seat out. There was a big dark footprint clearly visible right in the middle of the white insulation material under the rear seat. Someone from the factory had stepped there with dirty shoes at some point while the car was being assembled. The tech was sort of embarrassed by this, and offered to clean it off, but I said "no thanks." It's just classic Tesla manufacturing shoddy procedures, and I'll never see it again.

The dove went away for me but recently returned. Migration?

A quick non-refresh question. Are the handles supposed to be absolutely flush when not presented? Mine are all at the same place, but all slightly below flush. Maybe 1/16".
My ‘17 S was pretty close to flush after I had them all adjusted. Prior to that, it was inconsistent by a large amount. But I doubt it was less than 1/16. I certainly didn’t take out the calipers.
I wouldn’t worry about ~1.5mm.

For the amount of work it will require, do not fix it. Mobile service can do it, but might be more than it is worth. And Tesla service might call it "within spec".
All that said, if your OCD is killing you - never hurts to ask.
Exactly. Tesla’s seem to attract OCDers.
The more a tech messes with your car the more damage they can do.
Maybe it’s supposed to be slightly in and the ones that are flush are out of spec
I see people complain about silly stuff. Like a spec of dust in the instrument cluster. And let a tech pull the whole dash out to “fix it”. I wonder how many squeaks they have now.
I was thinking about this, probably because I’m obsessing
I think our cars are our modern day “Man Cave”
Something we want to control and make perfect. And keep perfect with PPF etc. like putting a screen protector and case on a shiny new iPhone that we want to keep like new. Sorry just rambling… I think it’s funny though. Most of us are thinking the same way for the same reasons.

I don't know, I mainly want to make a point that Tesla manufacturing should start delivering perfect vehicles for $150k.Exactly. Tesla’s seem to attract OCDers.
