Wind noise ? High pitched break?

[Ambilobe]

I just took delivery of a 2021 Y, and it seems like I am driving in a wind tunnel at times. It seems to be louder on the passenger side.

Could this be because everything else is so quiet ? How can I tell whats normal, its my first car.

There is also a high pitched sound at times when accelerating or decelerating without the breaks. Is that normal?

Thanks

Tesla is notorious for a louder than average cabin in the price segment.

People will say it’s because there is no engine noise but I can tell you that is 100% inaccurate. It is due to poor build quality.

Go ride in a comparably priced Merc/BMW for comparison.

The bad news is there is little to nothing Tesla will do to fix it. The good news is your point of reference at this point is non existent so you don’t know what you’re missing out on.

It does have a quite lighter feel than my prior BMW 540, but I guess we want the batteries to last.

I think I can get used to it.

Is the S any quieter ?

The S is quieter but still not what it should be for a vehicle in its class.

As far as I know, the dual pane windows haven’t even made it over to the S/X yet.
