I am not sure about that. When I got my Model Y in June, they let me inside the car alone to sign papers before getting out from the delivery place. If I only could notice the humming noise at that time, I wouldn't have signed the papers and I wouldn't have taken the car.
Yes. If the vin has the letter N instead of M it should mean it's a 2022 vin which were only created November 1st and after.
Super cool... found this tool, useful:
Free Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Decoder & Lookup
Use the VIN decoder to look up your vehicle's info. Official NHTSA data (all critical safety recalls/complaints).
driving-tests.org
But doesn't give the exact date of production. Is there a way to know that from any VIN?
I think it depends on the store. When I picked mine up, my paperwork was inside the car, so I was told to go ahead, get in the car, sign the paperwork, check out the car, etc. Then accept delivery on the app.
No, there is usually a sticker with the month/year, but the Sales Advisor has to provide an exact date.Super cool... found this tool, useful:

Took delivery of my MYLR on 10/30. The Tesla delivery day person got inside the car and turned it on for me. She allowed me to get inside the car and listen for the noise before accepting delivery. I didn’t hear it upon delivery, but heard it the next day. Now of course, I hear it all the time, but not when I’m driving it since the noise isn’t loud enough to hear over other noises. When the car is plugged in, it is constant.
Oh dear, I am sorry about that. I am just wondering: is the noise there when the car is NOT plugged? This issue should be there no matter if the car is plugged or not plugged.
Yes, the noise is also there when not plugged in. It seems to sleep after a while. When the car is plugged in and charging, I believe the noise is constant. If plugged in and not charging, it stops eventually.
Thanks for clarifying. And yes, that's the same behavior I am experiencing. Be sure to sign our petition on modelyissue.com, hopefully, Telsa will fix it!
Best,

I think you'd get more traction on this issue if you had the title of this thread include the Model 3. My guess is there are a lot more model 3 owners out there with this issue. I found an older thread you had on the Model 3's that for some reason stopped. Might want to get that updated.No, I decided to wait until we have at least 100 people just to have more impact, but we can certainly decide to submit it even with just 62 people. I think that it'll be anyway wise to wait a few weeks before proceeding until we see all service center responses will settle with an unanimous result. Also, if the announced "software update fixing" it is actually going to happen.
But I am open to any feedback, thoughts, and ideas you may have guys. Nothing is written in stone, and we are all together on this
I am looking forward for your November 2nd appointment's result!
Yes, I know, I see no way to change the thread title. When I opened this thread I thought the problem was affecting just my Model Y!!
sad news friends, had to deny myp today vin 308xxx..... the noise is there....... like the smallest bit smaller then my current myp.......
i asked to see if other myps there for deliveries have same issue... i got into 2 more model ys, and 1 of them had same bad noise... the other one had just a tiny bit less noise than the one i was going to pick up. So hopefully few weeks till the next one with at least smaller noise.....
i was going to pick it up, but it also had 4-5 in scratch on the windshield on the inside of the car... they tried to get it out for like an hour and nothing worked.... so that sealed the refusal... Im so sad, 3 cars checked today and all noisy.... and i am sure of it as just before leaving to the dealership i got into both of my y's to compare the noise, and i know when my ears are satisfied when there is no noise but its definitely there.

I am so sorry my friend, that's just terrible!! How is that possible? Don't they realize people don't want those noisy cars??!! What did they say when you refused to pick the car? It seems to deal with dumbasses! Thanks for the update by the way
Well that sucks. If Tesla keeps putting out noisy cars, the sound will really be normal. That’s a shame. Competition is on the way.
i asked the sales person, or whoever was taking care of delivery to get in in the car and listen to the noise, he says it doesn't bother him..... and he doesn't notice it.... This sux, it means all teslas now are noisy....................wow... competition cant come soon enough.....
That's the BIG problem. They ignore the problem and want to dismiss it. Big trouble... and quite sad.
Can
We not all tweet Elon and bring this to his attention? I'm picking up my vehicle this Monday. If there is a sound in it I may have to reject it but may not as interest rates have dramatically increased already and if I don't take delivery It will expire.
