Model 3P front motor whining noise.

[James Cole]

Hello Guys…

So suddenly my 2020 3P sounds a bit like a spaceship… guessing is not normal, sound comes from the front and its not the tires…

Service is far away so would like your input first.

Thanks
JC

I usually get noises like that when I have a destination set to a Supercharger, and it's intentionally running the motors inefficiently to warm up the battery.

Yes, Ive heard that supercharger on route noise, its a bit more high pitched but its not the case on this situation, thanks anyway!

Oh no! They shipped you Elon's Model 3 - Mars model.

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing.

Dry or defective bearing somewhere in the drivetrain.

I hate to be the bearer of bad bearing news but I agree

Are bearings easily replaced in the Model 3?
