Hi! Has anyone with the model Y has experience with snap sound like a rock hitting windshield but not an actual rock on the inside near the front dash board on driver’s side?

I have a sound that resembles this relatively early in a ride, sometimes. I think it's related to heating / hvac as there's never a rock actually hitting the car. I've had that since forever. I'm assuming it's a flap that's closing or something like that. I think mine sounds more from the passenger side but not sure from memory.

Sometimes during the ride, when park in the heat and drive for a little bit! I went to Tesla service and tested drive with the tech but didn’t hear noise! Have you done anything to it?

Nope, I've lived with it for almost 4 years. I don't think anything's broken. It's random so very hard to replicate to a tech as your experience shows, and not annoying enough to stress about it. It only happens once, if it does, for a drive.

Yes, first time I thought rock hit windshield. Has done it several times and each time with sun on the windshield. Sun on windshield not that common since I live in Washington. Do not believe it has ever happened when not in the sun. No longer concerned if doesn't morph into something else.

I had some vibrations in my steering wheel while parked and Tesla swapped out the supermanifold and a compressor after some inspection. Steering wheel vibrations is gone. However... after the repair i started hearing these LOUD snaps like a rock hitting the window every once a while (ranging from 10 sec to 2 min intervals). I was clearly alone on the road and i could even hear it while parked sometimes. I did not manage to record it with a few attempts because it was so random and even harder to reproduce while parked.

It have for now stopped entirely after a week. And ofcourse i managed to book a session with Tesla and the issue was gone. Hopefully it did not damage any components..
