Did you Chek the door light, window won't work if it is not connected of bad connected and look that the child lock is of for the the rear doors
I've had that noise on 2 of my Teslas, and they replaced fan motor each time, it's just bearing/bushing noise - if it were me, I would insist that they replace it.

That's the new "crickets in the evening" mode. Totally normal.
At my wit’s end with this.
Last month, vehicle experienced “rattling” from behind glovebox when activating heating/cooling system. Climate otherwise worked well. Took to service center and got the rattling fixed.
However, since that time, my climate system barely works. If I set it to anything but hi or low, auto sits the fan at 5 or 6 (barely felt through the vents) and uses the head and feet vents. I set the vehicle to 80 degrees and while the app reported it was at 84 degrees inside, a thermometer I placed in the vehicle said it was just over 60. If I set it to hi or low (or manual and jack the fan up to 11), it does heat/cool, but again, after 10 minutes of that, my thermometer reported about 70 degrees while the app reported 82. Basically everything between hi and low feels like the same temp-lukewarm.
The thermometer temps felt more accurate to what I felt like the temps were.
On top of that I can no longer use the temperature maintain function (dog mode etc) or turn on climate from the app. Trying from the app gets “failed to turn on climate.” Trying from within the car says “climate keeper unavailable due to system fault.”
Took vehicle to service center (80 minutes away) on Tuesday with these complaints, and get it back today and told “nothing is wrong” even though the vehicle was reporting errors when they ran diagnostics.
I’ve seen on at least one forum someone reported this exact issue, but no one seemed to know the cause or what the SC did to fix it, if anything. I’ve tried hard rebooting.
I’m really frustrated at this point and looking into lemon law options if they continue to fail to repair this issue. But I’m hoping someone here has had this issue and got it fixed and can share what the sc did to fix it.
(My very amateur guess is its a temperature sensor failure. My app will read the car as being 84 degrees when the interior is actually mid 60s-70 per a thermometer placed in my vehicle, and just being in the car and knowing it is not 84 degrees. If the temperature sensor is not working correctly, it would make sense that climate keeper can't keep the accurate temp).

Yes, oil will come out. The TSB for updating the front drive shafts/clevis mount has full instructions that include draining the drive unit.
Help.
Cross posting because am trying to decide if I need to drive ICE SUV tomorrow (462 mi to SC). See below. Thanks.
Receiving error message below. Unable to remotely turn on climate and pre-heat car. Issue only appeared with latest firmware update, but that MIGHT be coincidence, since it appears this has been experienced by others. HAD SAME ISSUE EARLIER IN WEEK IN NJ. Charging at Supercharger seemed to fix it (maybe that was just luck). Issue reappeared this morning.
Was going to drive the car to SC tomorrow (462 mi each way). Now worried we may lose climate functions all together.
Tried Tesla Service Line. If it’s not emergency, they are closed. On the emergency line, they had no suggestions. I rebooted MCU 3 times - no change. Rebooted IC for good measure, no change.
Also getting some funkiness with bluetooth and music. When I was on phone wit Tesla Roadside, audio was streaming and I could not turn it off. Makes me think this is an MCU issue.
Going to cross-post this in Technical issues.
Probably going to drive ICE. YUCK.

Hi,
yesterday my car was parked in front of my home. Battery level 80%. I go in my car to clean it. It displayed the error "Maximum battery charge level reduced". charge level: 42%. Unable to charge, unable to drive.
2 hours later battery level 0%
the car was sent this morning to the SC.

Good news is that the battery should be under warranty so you should be covered for the cost, though you'll likely be out of a car for a while.

I got back my S P85+ with a refurbished battery. I asked the price if it was not covered bt warranty : 20k€...
What firmware did you have when it failed? Some others are tracking this issue here: Maximum battery charge level reduced
Has anyone had an issue with the windows not going back up after you close the door? The windows open slightly when you open the driver or passenger door, not sure the reason for this, but it does it and when you close the door it goes back up. My passenger side window does not go back up after you close the door, so I need to close it from the driver side. I've scheduled an appointment for the mobile tech to come out, but just curious if anyone else has had this issue. I have 2016 90D
