Am I the only one that doesn't hear anything in either this video or the other one by the OP? I don't hear anything except the normal noises of the road and the suspension.
I can hear the occasional high-pitched ringing/squealing in the YouTube short. It is also one of the noises my Y is making randomly, typically above 50 mph, at colder temperatures, and under no more than light acceleration.
Watching it again, I can hear the squealing for the majority of the video. It is happening starting at the beginning of the video clip, stops briefly between about 13 & 14 seconds, continues for a while, pauses again between the 34 sec and 42 sec points, then squeals again for the remainder of the clip.
So odd. I turn it up as loud as it will go, put headphones on, and I still can't hear anything like that. All I hear is the road noise and the thudding of the suspension.
yes that's the noise i hear all the time.... it comes in and out ....... i still believe it is the oil in the front drive unit, either under fill from the manufacture or there is air in the drive unit.... something like that........ anyone have do a oil and filter change for the front drive unit?
when you listen to it, listen with the speaker on your phone, and put your ear close to the phone speaker, and ignore the air noise road noise, focus on the background little noise. does not need to turn the volume way up you still can hear it...

Doesn't anybody here have any type of contacts in Tesla? It would be great if we could get at least a confirmation that they are investigating how to fix this
That is very disappointing…. I head from pervious owner that even they replace the FDU it is still making the noise, it is the manufacturer FDU problem…. Thats why i still believe it is the oil in the FDU
I’m going to try a different tactic. I scheduled a service visit for 12/1 requesting they drain and replace the oil in the front and rear drive units. I added background info about the noises, but hopefully they give me an estimate of how much it would cost to do instead of claiming not to hear any problem on yet another ride-along.
cool !!! I would love to hear if this will be a FIX.
Looking forward to hearing if the drive unit oil refill does anything, this would be such a straightforward fix- please follow up here and let us know!
I’ll let the group know what happens. So far, the service center has responded the same way they have at each visit, saying a tech ride-along will be necessary upon arrival. Hopefully I can convince them to actually try this possible solution this time.
A week from today, 12/1. The service center has already reached out to request a video of the noise which I shared. They have also said they would do a ride-along once I arrive to determine if repairs would be covered under warranty or if they would be my responsibility. This is the same SC that has not performed any repairs on the previous three appointments for this issue, but hopefully this time will be different since I’m requesting a specific fix.
