The new Tesla Model Y has just been picked up and you are looking forward to comfortable electric driving pleasure - but you soon notice that it is extremely loud in the vehicle and you can barely hold a conversation. What could be the causes and what can be done?
The problem: Buzzing in the Tesla Model Y interior
Users report that even when driving slowly, a kind of humming noise can be heard, which seems to come from the area of the large trunk.
Possible causes and solution
Humming and loud noises can have several causes, which are also related to the processing of the vehicle.
The first suspects are the wheels. Although the tire itself should not cause any problems immediately after delivery, imbalance or an inaccurate track setting are unfortunately possible. An appointment at your trusted garage to have the wheels balanced could help.
An additional cause may be an incorrectly adjusted trunk. If the seals do not close properly, the trunk lid can vibrate and, in combination with the Model Y's large, empty trunk, create the loud humming noise. You can find out whether this is the cause by loading the trunk with luggage and checking whether the humming noise then disappears.
If the trunk is the cause, you can first try out the spacers yourself, otherwise a workshop or garage visit will also help. Service center visit. A trunk cover can also effectively reduce the noise level, as it reduces the resonance of the empty space and provides additional insulation.
