So we just drove home from the airport after a week. On our initial drive to the airport a week ago, our 2022 MYP started making more noise than usual somewhere in the drive train. It sounds to me like its front motor maybe but not super easy to tell.
We made it fine, no warnings or anything from the car. We drove home as well and it seems to only have gotten louder, but still no warnings, charges fine, etc.
I uploaded a video of the noise during some acceleration and deceleration where it changes the pitch based on speed:
I’ve seen others with a high pitched whining but this isn’t the same, it’s lower frequency and more course sounding.
I’ve setup an appointment but the earliest is for over a week away, and it’s a 2.5 hour drive to the service center (there’s closer ones across the border in Michigan, but I don’t believe they will give me a loaner to drive back to Canada if this turns into a multi day repair)
I have questions:
1. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Motor unit? Could it be grounding strap even though it doesn’t sound like the high pitched sound that people posted with that issue?
2. Should i stop driving? We have another longer drive to do next weekend before the appointment that I’m concerned about.
3. When I asked Tesla in the app about if I should drive it or not they replied with a seemingly auto / canned message to call roadside assistance if I’m concerned. I’m at home now, is this an option I should really just consider?
