I’ve seen posts about this issue on the MY and M3 forums, but not for the refreshed model S. I get a high pitched whine (sounds like a dental instrument) during acceleration that is most noticeable around 30-70mph. It comes and goes and oscillates at times too. In the MY forum they mention a missing penthouse perimeter seal that fixed the issue on some cars. I have a service scheduled, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue and resolution for their refreshed Model S. Thanks.
I had the same whine in my S Long Range Plus 2020 and I sell that car, impossible to have a quiet road trip without music.
In june 2020 Tesla made « optimise » the front gear box to get the 400 miles for Elon and the engineer « loose » the gear box to have 2% more range, you will have this info here.
Thats the main problem with the whine and Tesla engineer know it very well.
The Montreal service center even change my front motor without any improvement.
After 6 year with model S (I had an 75D before), I owned actually an M3P too, I m looking for german ev (eqs, iX, taycan) who will not cut comfort for range like Tesla.
I’m vey sad because I loved that car and I had the unlimited supercharger with it.
That’s my story !
