We have a 2021 Model Y LR that's been flawless. We took delivery in October 2020. So we took the leap bought a 2nd one and just took delivery this week.
Unfortunately, this 2nd Model Y isn't so flawless. When I'm driving over 30 mph, there is a high-pitched whirring/buzzing fan-like sound (like a jet engine) that kicks in and is constant. It goes away when the speed drops below 20 mph. The pitch and volume are such that even cranking up the music doesn't cover it up. Our older Model Y does not do this. At first I thought it was the AC, but even with the cabin AC off, it still happens. It happens when the temp is 90F but also when the temp is 70F. I spoke with one of the guys in the Service Center, who said, "Every car is different. What you're describing sounds normal." Obviously, it is not normal. I made an appointment anyway.
Any tips on how to get the Service Center to take the issue seriously? Anyone have any sense of what this could be?
