it still is hit and miss, on a per-build basis, it seems.
until they have a few straight quarters of problem-free builds, I will continue to think of this as an inconsistent build process.
the wind noise I have is not a showstopper and the panels fit well enough on my older 3, but in the last year and a half, the build quality has not gotton better, lets just say that. overall, if you look at how many are not 100%. and its not asking a lot to be at either 5 nines or a full 100% for NVH issues.
they need to attack this at two sides: the design, the parts and the build levels. (oops, that's 3 things. I'll fix that with an edit next time around, lol)
I have driven around 6 pre 2021 Model 3’s, my 2020 was one of the quieter ones so I don’t think it is just due to inconsistent build quality, the difference is really noticable. I doubt the acoustic glass does much for tire noise but something is clearly different, everyone who has been in the car has noted it is much quieter. Some of which test drove a Model 3 at Tesla previously and passed it over because of the noise, one of them now ordered a Model Y because of how much better my new 3 was.
With @Ofarlig being from Sweden, I wonder if he has a made in China M3. Those apparently have way better and more consistent build quality (ironically).
Nope, US made LR. I might notice the difference in tire noise more though due to our rough asphalt in part due to many people using studded tires in the winter. You guys in the US may have pot holes from hell but the surface is much smother than ours (at least in the places I have been).
