Hi there, I was hoping someone could help me as I've trawled through the threads and can't quite find an answer to my query.
I recently purchased a Tesla Model 3 long range from Birmingham NEC in March of this year. On the very first day I had speaker issues on the way home, where the rear speakers began to crackle and pop and then within the space of a couple of hours all the speakers stopped working, including the sub (apart from the very front speaker). My microphone also stopped working.
Tesla booked me in for a repair and they identified it as a damaged wiring loom which needed replacing. They have since replaced the wiring loom, and sound is much better now. But I have a niggling doubt/ suspicion that my speakers are still not functioning or working correctly. As strange as it sounds, it feels like they are an 8/10 - and by that I mean, they sound good but not amazing.
From my understanding and watching a couple of YouTube videos, I should be able to hear sound coming out of the speakers in the A-pillar and also the small speakers near the side mirrors. However, I can never hear sound come out of them. It always sounds like music predominantly comes out of the very front speakers near the windscreen, or those at the bottom door pockets.
I appreciate opinions around sound quality and speakers can be very subjective (and from reading other threads, some people think the sound system on the long range car is amazing and some say it sounds average).
How can I 100% test/ check all the speakers are working correctly, covering all my bases, so I can go back to Tesla and demonstrate they aren't working right? I.e. making sure my audio source isn't the issue; I've set the balance and equaliser correctly etc.. Is there a song/audio sample I can download, shove on a USB stick and it will produce sound from all the speakers as they should? I remember there used to be audio samples back in the day when you purchased a DVD/Blu-Ray to test home cinema systems. They were essentially samples from Dolby/THX that had a helicopter flying around so the sound came out through all the speakers. Is there anything similar to test all speakers in the car? Even when I alter the balance, I can never get sound to appear from those top speakers or the ones near the side mirrors.
