Just wanted to hop on this thread. Been following for a few weeks.
I decided to finally bite the bullet and did the following after seeing what others have done:
Sound deadening on:
- Frunk luggage compartment.
- Trunk lower compartment.
- Left and right side rear wheel well and surrounding walls
- Sugru on A pillar front
- Left and right passenger fender cavity
I have an early-ish VIN 2018 3 LR RWD. Didn't have any deadening tape on the trunk tub but there was a thick piece of mixed cloth like fibre panels stuck to the bottom and front of the liner. Can any newer 3 owners comment on whether they have this?
I'm going to wait before sharing results as I have the old school appliqués on my mirrors and they stick out quite a bit as there's no anchor on the upper portion (was added in a later part revision). Fairly certain they've been causing a whistling noise I keep hearing on my commute. Appears to come from the windows but I've already adjusted the track, height, and re-calibrated those. I've ordered some from china at 1/4 the cost Tesla quoted me so I'll install those and then provide an update. They should arrive sometime this week.
Photos below. I was too lazy to pull the rear seats to get the liner out so I just propped it up with a piece of wood while I worked. Forgot to take a photo of the left and right rear wheel wells but I did take a photo of the sub and amp/dac lol.
