Hello everyone and greetings from Italy. I was looking from some info about Tesla and come to find this wonderful webiste, so this is my first post and I hope not to mess up with rules.
I would like to share one of the issuees I have on my Y received in November 22.
I was very excited for the silence felt while driving, but my pleasure lasted only 2000 km, as then some internal noises came out.
Some of then were fixed by the Service Center with methods that left me a little surprised (like the advise to keept the rear backrest in the more vertical position or the leather will make noise against the plastic trim... seriously?).
Now I have succeded in fixing many of them also thanks to this website and I decided I will focus on some other later, but there is still one that drives me crazy and I hope my English is good enough to explain it (or to understand if it was already discussed).
Not sure if it is the same already described in other topics, a I read some but maybe it is not this one.
Basically what I seem to feel is that the trunk hatch makes noises, no matter the speed I drive or road bumps the car drives over.
Even coming out from my garage at 1 km/h when crossing a little edge (2 cm) I hear the first noise, which is not a "bump" but it is like if tha gaskets of the hatch slided over those on the car sill and prduce this fastidious grating noise.
My opinion is that this occurs on every weight transfer of the hatch, even at the minimum variation and I wonder if it is by design or anything adjustable.
The SC said something which left me speechless "it is normal for cars with a so big hatch to produce noises. Also the Model 3 has them, but as the trunk is closed you don't hear them".
Well.. as many here I think that on such a premium car this should not happen and it deserves a better support than that, but today I cannot do other than trying to fix myself even if I am not very skilled in these kind of operations.
So far I tried:
- to lubricate the gaskets with silicone oil by using a little brush (this worked on my previous model 3 to silence doors and windows, but I had to do only after 2 years!)
- to apply secondary aftermarket gaskets on all door sills, including the hatch
- to adjust the rubber stops on the hatch
Nothing worked.
What remains is an advice to fill the gaskets with a vinil tube I read here, but I did not understand if this addresses also the noise or just the pression felt by hears and would like to be sure before cutting the rubbers.
Well.. this is all for now.
Thank you in advance to who will find time to answer my question and let me tell you that I am really excited to start being part of this community.
