What Don't You Like About Your Tesla?

Regarding sunroof, if the right steering wheel button is set to operate it, just pushing it will close it completely.

When you're not on a call, yes it works for that (assuming you leave the background menu on the sunroof setting.

If you're on a call and press it, the call will be ended.

You need to press the steering wheel menu button, then go to the sunroof, then close it, when you're on a call.

Embarrassingly noisy brakes after rain, carwash. Neighbors came over to ask why it makes so much noise when we back out.

that's not normal, take it in for an inspection.

"It's normal for these brakes, especially because Regen you don't use the brakes as much so the corrosion on the rotors after they get wet causes that. Drive with Regen off for a few miles"

That works, but doesn't prevent the noisy backing out of the garage after a rain. And none of the other 12 cars we have ever had did the same thing.

is that so? the two teslas that I've owned never had noisy brakes, in fact the only times that I had brake noise on any car that I've owned was caused by issues like bad brake pads, either worn or glazed.

Agreed. I don't think it's normal but I don't have any way to convince the only service center that their statement is wrong.

Do you have a model X?

I mean, after a rain my other car makes a little grindy noise when braking but never the microphone feedback squeal that you can hear from down the street that Tesla claims just needs to be scrubbed off while driving.

there is nothing magical about the brakes on the tesla, take it to a brake shop let them inspect the brakes and see what they have to say. sometimes you need to be assertive with some of the people at the service center.

All of my performance brakes have been notoriously noisy. My Audi SQ5 would squeak loudly and wake up the whole house in the morning. Pretty typical on high performance brakes from my experience.

hmmm, I've owned porsches, jaguars, MBs, BMWs and have never had noisy brakes, maybe I'm just fortunate.

When you're backing out of your driveway are you heading downhill? Are your brakes noisy if you drive forward out of your driveway?
