Rattles.

[mariod]

Have a rattle while driving coming from the RH (passenger) front door or A pillar. Anyone else had this issue. Any easy resolutions?

mine creaks. I've narrowed it down to the window seal. If i roll the window down even just a smidge it stops. it also thunks when rolling it up so I think it is not aligned properly. going to have the SC look at it when it goes in next week for a different rattle

They are a pain... I have one on the drivers side that I can't pinpoint. It happens mostly some over bumps, but also at high speeds (70+). I "think" it is on the lower door towards the hinge, but sometimes sounds like it could be coming from the dash. When I mentioned to a mobile ranger who was out for another reason, he said I'd probably have to bring it in and pay for an evaluation. Since the closest service center is 1hr + away and I have no idea how long it would take or fix I've held off at least until I can track it down better.

I had a sound coming from the A pillar and as was suggested, lower the window an inch or so, if it goes away then that is the problem...was solved for me when I cleaned the top of the window and cleaned the window rubber seal, if that doesn’t work, use a little silicone spray on the seal or even tiny bit of vasoline, should take care of it, did for me.

I have one in a similar spot, more of a creak. Looks like the side mirror housing is rubbing against the frame when the door is closed. Have to wait another week for it to be looked it.

I have the same rattle issue on my passenger side front or pillar. It seems to be much worse on days when it is cold. I will try cleaning the top of the window and the rubber seal.

So weird, we have had the exact opposite problem. When it's cold, everything gets quiet. When it's really hot, the rattles kick in.

I had a mobile ranger come to my house and he found the problem in about 30 min. the window was not aligned inside the door in the carriage. the window wasn't coming up far enough, and the carriage/holder thing that the window is mounted in (I forget what terms the ranger used) was coming up too far and hitting the stop inside of the door. This was causing the window to not be aligned properly and cause the noise on the seal. He adjusted it and its perfectly silent now!

I had a similar noise, it was the adjustable seat belt anchor. Tesla replaced and sound went away.

Still QC issues?

please check the housing above the center rear view mirror (the one with the interior camera). I thought it was right side as well until I put my hand over and temporarily stopped the rattle.

I have this rattle as well. I tilt the mirror all the way down and then back into place and it usually takes care of it for a few days.

Sometimes the rattling could be as simple as taking the loose change out of the tray (if you purchased that accessory) in the center console. This was my case when I couldn't figure it out and the SC diagnosed it.

I have one inside my glovebox (nothing inside it) and the rear seats (being replaced) as the anchors were not aligned and could not be seated properly due to manufacturing defect.

The passenger seatbelt rattles against the B pillar when not fastened.

Rattles are just part of the Tesla identity, tbh.
