Parcel shelf

[Chet]

Does the parcel shelf reduce noise level at speed?

 

[jonam]

Think so.

 

[gnelson]

Yes. I have taken mine out to accommodate a bicycle and noticed more road noise at highway speed. I prefer having the parcel shelf in place except when I transport the bicycle.

Slightly, but not dramatically. Also helps with the wumpa wumpa effect a bit (aka Helmholtz resonance), but not totally.

 

[HarryJames]

yes the parcel is very useful .they can solve the problem of noise . :smile:

Yes, reduces noise, and also hides the rear storage from prying eyes.

SHELF RUNNER QUESTION- This is a different question regarding the parcel shelf. My 2013 did not have it and I do not remember the rear cargo having the runners. Will someone with an older model that was ordered without the shelf tell me if there are runners?

My April 2014 model S I got without the shelf still has the rails to add a shelf.

My 2013 has the runners as well and either the previous owner or Tesla during reconditioning put in the parcel shelf.
