More likely, it's being picked up by the wiring before the amplifier. Just because the audio is muted, doesn't mean the amplifier isn't running or the gain is way down.

Interesting, because I DO get the Bbrruupp...brruupp noise on my cheap work computer speakers from time to time with my Telus phone.
Agree except for the cost and ridiculously low bandwidth caps. My friend has a summer cottage and is suffering with 1 Mbps DSL (end of a long line) simply because the cost and caps of a Rogers, Bell or Telus fixed LTE solution are so out of range. He used to have a Rogers WiMax device that worked well, but was discontinued.

I am on an iPhone running on the Bell network. I have only noticed the noises when I was in a low signal area. Does the iPhone try EDGE regardless of carrier if signal is low or non-existent?

Not sure. With the exception of the CDMA version of the iPhone 4 (A1349), I think that every iPhone is EDGE capable. If you are roaming on a non-CDMA capable network (with a EDGE capable iPhone), I expect that the iPhone will drop back to EDGE from time to time, and as neither Bell nor Telus run a GSM network, I would think that the only time your iPhone would drop back to EDGE is if it is roaming. Again, not sure....

Last night drove a friend home to Saratoga, CA and as we drove away, noticed a rear window open. When I tried to close it, I heard a crunch! Drove a half mile to dinner. Had to slide the window up manually. Called Tesla Service and left a message since it was late. Tesla Service called just after 7:00am! The car is in the shop to replace both rear window actuators. I had the same issue with the other window over a year ago! They said that the actuators have since been redesigned and shouldn't have any issue again.
On another note, just yesterday my wife notices that the right front panel just above the Tesla emblem behind the front wheel had been keyed! Nearly a foot long deep scratch. The Tesla Service center called a body shop for a quote. They said it would be about $750 to repair.
In the mean time we are driving a loaner P+ with likely all options installed! Had my wife drive it to see how the parking sensors work. Would possibly upgrade our car to get them if we could. That's likely the only option I'm really am envious of.

Oh yea. When I asked the service guy said 6.0 is coming "soon"! I will believe it when I see it!
This just happened on my car last week. They are going to valet me a loaner on Tuesday and get me all fixed up.

Got mine back Saturday. All better! Had them do a few other things too. I was told that the loaner I drove was driven by none other than Elon just before be! They replaced both rear actuators so I shouldn't see the problem again! Hope your car comes back all better too.

Every once in a while when I unlock my doors, the passenger side door pops open! Has anyone seen this happen before?

Yes. There are a number of threads on this. The new handles that move supposedly fix it at the cost of not having the LED light the area as much. (Why they didn't move the hole for the LED out a bit when they changed the design is a mystery.) I've heard that some who have the new handles also have this problem, so it may be a software issue. I've found that a reboot reduces the occurrence for a while. (Note: It's the driver's side on my car)

I had this happen a long time ago. With the new handles I haven't seen the issue since. That was over a year ago. How old is your car?

They just contacted me and I'll be going to the service center on Tuesday. I should correct, that it happens when I Unlock the door not when I lock it. It only happens once in a while but I may as well have them take a look. It sounds like they'll probably give me some of the newer handles. Were there any improvements made on the new handles? Why did they change them? Was it because they were popping open, or something else?

That's interesting. The original problem I had was that they popped open entirely on their own. Once when it happened to me I had been driving and parked. No less at a Tesla store. The handles wouldn't go in when I tried to lock the car so I checked and a door on the passenger side was open.
Others reported wild and wacko behaviour from handles not extending to extending when they shouldn't to not retracting at all.
The solution was to replace the handles once they thought they had fixed the hiccups.

Wrong, Bell and Telus are running a GSM network since the 2010 Olympics, sharing towers. They are also still running legacy CDMA for the older phones. Rogers on the other hand switched to GSM earlier and dumped their old TDMA service.

EDGE is 2G GSM. Telus and Bell won the communications contract for the Vancouver Olympics. They didn't have a GSM network and needed to put in an HSPA+ network in time for those Olympics or all the European visitors would be roaming on Rogers.

I added a second Apple Airport Extreme Wireless Router to my home Network (second one is in Bridge mode) to improve signal throughout the house and in particular to the Garage where the Tesla sits. I've taken readings in the Garage with "WiFi Explorer" and the new Router is MUCH stronger in there than the old one, but for some reason my Car insists on connecting to the weaker Router rather than the stronger new one.
So here's the question: Is the car tied to the physical hardware address of the original Router in some way and defaults to that? If so, is there a way to reset it?

Mine is set up a little differently. We have a Roaming Network, so the SSID's are identical for both Routers. I did try Forgetting the Network and setting it up again, and was able to get it to connect to the stronger Router. Briefly... By the next morning it was back on the old one again. So it will connect to it, it just doesn't seem to be wanting to stay on it. Weird...
