Thumps and clunks while charging

Its normal.

 

Chunky version of electricity versus smooth - like peanut butter?

 

Here’s a TSB. Maybe this will help dealing with the SC:

 

I worried about this noise quite a bit the day I took my car home from delivery -- 700 km, lots of mountains. I felt better after reading this TSB. It's still happening three months and 8000 km later. Disconcerting for passengers, but it no longer makes me worry that something is broken. Now it's a quirk. A normal quirk.

I do hope they figure out how to silence it.

I wonder if a service centre located near mountains would have a different take on it.

 

Hahahaha! Wait, is this a serious post?

Seriously, how do some of you make it through life whining about EVERYTHING?

That is how the car sounds when charging. It’s normal. If it’s so “disturbing and unsettling” to you sell it and get something else.

 

Unfortunately, this is the type of stuff Tesla will have to deal with more and more as the Model 3 becomes more mainstream. You get customers who will complain about every little thing, like this.

 

Obviously a new owner, so chillax a bit
The car makes all sorts of noises even when not charging, it is never truly "off" and is always active at some level.
Get used to the noises the car makes so you can reassure yourself that it really is OK
Normal noises are great big clunks and bangs that sound like something just dropped off, all sorts of motor and pump whines, fans, vents etc
Its a very active beast sometimes, but it really is normal.

It just seems a bit extreme to hear a noise and jump directly to "something is breaking" then immediately followed by "Tesla is lying to me, I don't trust them"

 

I'm not sure, but I probably need a drink.

 

not playing smart just trying to help someone who apparently doesn't care to be helped.
Not going to bother trying now, enjoy your car noises - goodbye

My Model 3 is too fast. I think it's actually the slowest Tesla there is, but still, dangerously fast, even in chill mode.

 

Agree. Tesla has absolutely NO consideration for those of us who get nauseated from rapid acceleration. Did those animals ever think to create “Grandpa” mode that prevents this? What a bunch of A holes...

 

that was an engineering fail right there, what were they thinking. We all need complain more about this stuff and not just sit back and take from them, apparently
Without the racket from engine I can hear the wiper blades swish across the windshield, even worse I have to listen to my passengers talk now. Tesla even had the audacity to tell me that is "normal" - why do we take this nonsense from them?
