A/c compressor noise.

[Solidz75]

It been getting hot where I live( >95 degrees), and I have been noticing that compressor noise gets concerningly loud with A/C. Mostly I hear it after I get out with the car off. But my wife has noticed loud noise inside when stationary at level 5 setting in a hot day ( she said the car vibrated)

So we had it looked by Tesla who ran their diagnostic test and said there was nothing wrong with it.

My research shows that this was an issue for many MS owners around 2016- but haven’t found any recent posts about it.

Is this supposed to be normal for 2020 model x raven? If it passes the thermal cooling diagnostic test then is this what we have to live with?

Can’t believe MX can sound louder than one of Elon’s rockets.

Mine does the same thing. Kind of glad to see a post about it. It is LOUD!

When was the last time the coolant gas was exchanged? It has to be done every 24 months. The gas is also the lubricant of the compressor and if gaspressure gets too low, due to neglect or a leak, one effectively looses lubricant. What happens then is just basic physics...

Normal I am afraid, Mine sounds like Falcon Heavy but have just had it in twice in the last 2 weeks. Told everything was normal.

You guys must have ordered the SpaceX package

Are you talking about the compressor or the fan? Mine makes a loud noise when supercharging but it doesn't sound like a compressor to me, more like a high RPM fan.

Same here. I live in AZ and the fan (I think it's the fan) is super loud for a few mins.

Same here! I can feel it in the steering wheel. 2020 MX LR+

Ok. Now that we are talking about the fan(s) and not the compressor: Yes it can make it lot of noise when it has to cool the hell out of something. During supercharging, the battery get's very hot and needs to be cooled down to not go kaput.
When at maximum rpm, it can even be felt in the car.

All perfectly normal.

Same, here in Phoenix that fan spins up something loud
