Getting this right takes a lot of trial and error, at least in my experience. You’re better off making your own out of 3/4” PVC end caps, in my opinion.can anyone print me some hatch stops for my MYP please? Happy to work around shipping cost.
I've adjusted mine easily over 100 times trying to be precise about it. I could never find a particular adjustment where it was good unless it was ridiculously extended in which case the rubber seal wasn't even making proper contact. So yes, my first attempt was trying to solve this without any add-ons or other solutions.@ilovecoffee what is your theory on hatch adjustment? Have you attempted it?
I had issues with my 2020 Model Y LR but it absolutely did not have booming. I have a friend with two 23 Model Y’s and he swears that neither car booms. My car is extremely boomy, and while I’ve resolved most of it with tubing a rigid hatch stops, I can’t shake the notion that the issue could be resolved entirely with some careful hatch adjustments.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
I agree with this as well. It feels like some road surfaces cause it more than others. My first impression after installing the vinyl tubing was that the tube helped a lot. I need to drive a bit more though. At this time, the booming seems to be reduced but the road noise is still strong and any bump can make it uncomfortably loud. I'm hoping that this is resolved more when I install the Koni comfort dampeners.Printed these with Inland PETG+. As I suspected, my usual naughty textured pavement was still boomy. NOT as I suspected, a section of road farther from home I also use to test was eerily silent for the first time ever. So today I learned not only is not all my boom coming from the hatch, different road surfaces will actually trigger different parts of the car to resonate...

It seems logical since the car makes more noise anytime it goes over bumps. The car is so rigid compared to non-EV's. That said, I could be wrong. Either way, I'm getting the upgrade this Friday and will report back on the after math.Why would you think suspension would reduce road noise?
It's the difference between driving/riding a race car, where NVH comes through huge, versus driving an old-school Caddy with plush wafting suspension. Less noise b/c less NVH comes through. Yes, suspension directly relates to road noise.Why would you think suspension would reduce road noise?

I'm a runner. If I run in a set of zero-drop minimalist shoes that have 5mm of tread and that's it (no midsole, no inserts), that's a COMPLETLEY DIFFERENT run feeling, and much harsher, than if I go pick up some Hokas with a 35 mm midsole. That's a Cadillac ride compared to the minimal shoe. But they're both connecting to my feet. And so I didn't change the mounts or bearings, so to speak, because I've got the same feet/ankle/leg mounting system.You should not have an increase in NVH unless you are also changing mounts and bearings.

If you change the thing that connects between the wheels, and suspends the car, even if you don't change how those things connect to said car, you're going to change the way it rides. I used to drive a Lincoln Navigator. It had air ride bag suspension instead of the (virtually) same vehicle of a Ford Expedition that used a type of coil/strut system. That's why they sell aftermarket bag systems for Expeditions...because it changes the ride.
If you change the amount of squish something has, it's going to change the overall experience. I have no idea what @justtestla is installing, but if it's a softer experience than the factory setup, my guess would be that it's going to mean that translates into less total vibrations that reverb through the system as a whole, which is going to decrease noise.
The only things that helped with the booming was to:I have MPP Comfort coilovers set to fully soft and the booming is still there.
With the coilovers and switch from 21" wheels to 19" wheels, I expected some reduction in boominess. But it's maybe 5-10% less, if that.
Do it for ride comfort, do it for handling, do it for looks, but don't do it to resolve the booming. You will be disappointed.
