Just want to update on my case.
I’m in Miami and we have two SCs here. When I addressed the issue to the mobile tech, she advised to make an appointment. She heard it, but she wasn’t sure what it is. She said to try tire rotation , so I made an appointment to Dania Beach and did the tire rotation (for around $90) and it didn’t help at all. I realized it when already left.
By this time I also got a rattling noise in driver’s side front suspension. Something was making sounds when you stop with your wheel turned right. And sometimes on slow speeds on bumpy roads. Tech guy at Dania Beach didn’t hear anything, while it was quite obvious so I decided to show it at another location (Coral Gables). As well as the rotational sound.
By that time, I understood that most probably tires were not causing that rotational sound I have. Coral Gables insisted that I needed new tires because by 10000 miles two of them needed replacement. Besides that they swapped some parts in suspension (rattling issue) which didn’t help and let me go. They offered new MXM4, but I hated them and despite being surprised by how fast they were gone, I was happy to do that, but for something else. I drove another 2500 miles and called Michelin to ask if that kind of wear was okay. Long story short, they gave me 57% discount for new PS4 with the foam inside which are not only cheaper than MXM4 but also truly performance summer tires. Believe me, it’s night and day. They are just wonderful, love them! But, noise was still there.
I made a new appointment with the same two issues: rotational sound that they kind of heard on a video, but can not replicate (of course) and rattling suspension. I had a guy driving with me, but he could only hear the suspension. At least something. In a few days I got my car back with fixed suspension (they changed pretty much everything there on the driver’s side) but with that rotational sound still being there. I didn’t have much time to check the issue because they had to fix a few clips that appeared to be broken, it wasn’t convenient for me to get back to them at that time, but I still need to find a way.
This sound drives me crazy and I’m confused. I have to turn music on or do something else to avoid hearing it. My wife doesn’t hear it either and I’m jealous for those people who just can’t, but I do. I don’t enjoy my car because that sound irritates me. How can I find someone who would be able to help me? How can I make tesla dig into this? What should I ask them for? Please give me an advise, because I don’t know what to do.
Some additional thoughts.
I drove on N to exclude motors (mine is AWD LR). Whining disappears, but rotational sound is still there. So it’s not the front motor or tires. Then it’s either brakes ( brakes are rearly used and could catch something between pads and the rotor. But it’s been there for thousands!) or bearing.
Brakes would also change sound on braking, but they don’t. Sometimes I feel vibration on smooth roads that is very common to the sound of the rotation sound. Same tact, beat. So I lean towards bearing. How can I check that? Maybe someone knows a good third party SC in Miami that I can show it to?
Thank you for your help, guys.
