Water Sound coming from Dashboard?

[Freewheeler]

Hi all. I have recently been hearing what sounds like water sloshing in the dashboard around the steering column. I haven't seen mention of this elsewhere. Is this a known issue with a solution? There are no drips anywhere, we are definitely in A/C season, so condensation I guess could be in play. I just don't know what's in teh dashboard that might be holding water. Thanks.

I have the same. I believe it's the windshield washer fluid.

Windshield washer bucket is there, all right, but I've never heard any sloshing from it.

How about filling it to overflowing and see if the sound stops?

That seems to have done the trick. I was concerned about condensation or maybe rainwater collecting somewhere. Crazy the car can be so quiet as to hear the washer fluid in the frunk.

I don't think it's the washer fluid. Sandy Munroe mentioned in an epoxide that there were was some noise coming from the octovalve. Tesla may have had some challenges adding coolant. Give the SA a call and set up an appointment.

If the OP solved the "sloshing water" noise by adding washer fluid, why would he need to take his car in the SC???

Haha...this is great. The Model Y is so quiet that you can hear the windshield washer fluid sloshing around.

I had the cooling system sensor TSB addressed during a recent service so I hope that's not the issue! Filling the washer fluid seems to have stopped it.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to wrap it in insulation now!
