Since Tesla just seems incapable of fixing this kind of stuff on their cars, maybe this thread will help:

Unbelievable! Just noticed today on freeway with radio off I have it! No idea where its coming from.I think its coming from the front left of the car, maybe the side mirror. At least for me as the driver, that's where I'm hearing it.
I do wish the steering and turning radius of the S was as good. That is one area the 3 is much better.
When I did a U turn it took noticeably less of the street. There are many times I do one in my S where it barely will make it. I too read that they were supposed to be near identical but that is not what I saw today.
Have you brought the car to Tesla to diagnose? I read in another wind/road noise thread (there are a number of these threads out there) that service centers can run tests to determine if there are any bad seals.Back to the original topic of this thread, has anyone found a solution to the wind noise? Is it only on some vehicles or all of them? Anyone found a fix? For me, I found the road noise to be greater than the S but tolerable; however, the wind noise is just too much for a car that would otherwise be reasonably quiet. I think the fact that it is higher in frequency contributes to the irritation factor despite what the actual DB level is.
Did you just tape over the joint as a test?It isn't my car but the owner and I did some tests and it appears to be caused by the seal between the roof glass and the windshield and also the windshield and A pillar seals. The Tesla SC claims to have never heard of this problem.
I have both cars and have the wind noise but never notice it when the stereo is mid level. The MS is definitely more quiet but the M3 is much more fun to drive! I wouldn't let that be a deal breaker!I also rented a Model 3 yesterday and it was one of the first made, as the fellow works at Tesla Fremont. I drove it a lot during the day and more in the evening, and by night's end my ears started to physically hurt from the constant low end road noise and wind noise. I told the guy about it when I returned the car and he said every Model 3 after Dec 27th was made with a tweak on the suspension to mellow it out a bit more. He also has the 19" sport rims.
I then drove one that was made on Dec 28th, strangely enough, today, and it was definitely better for road noise, and the wind noise wasn't really an issue. However, in both vehicles, I felt the need to turn up the stereo louder than I would have liked to cut through the constant low end of the road noise seeping into the cabin. It's stopped me temporarily on buying a Model 3 and looking at used Model S's. Though I haven't tried driving an M3 with the 18" wheels yet.
Damn, because I love damn near everything else about the car. :^/
Old school Juan! I don't believe they are going to make!!Get metal roof version
Well you definitely won't be disappointed! I had the M3 on order then drove the MS and fell in love with the car... problem was wife liked also so we bought the 3 for her and she loves it.Check out RPM Tesla online they have some cool stuff on there. Congrats on your new babyWell, as much as I wanted to go with the Model 3, I went a different way than I expected. My wife and I just came home with a brand new Model S 75D from Fremont yesterday. One of 3 production models that were available immediately. Just a few weeks old at most with the new display update. Couldn't resist after driving the 2018 S. Cheers!
