Solved issue with cabin noise (design flaw)

This is actually pretty cool. Nice that you were able to find it.

Nice one!

Mind linking your scope? I have one but no hook on it.

Second. I swear I have the same issue in my car.

Sure! https://a.co/d/05LtUTLo

Thanks mate

Where did the sticker come from? Were you able to flatten it out and trace its origins?

it looks like two pieces of electrical tape - no markings on them. https://preview.redd.it/58y06754g5og1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e462cc56eb42ddd1ba035afb7279b1a4284be73

What’s the tape for?

So you can hear the fan working.

Blue tape is usually used in the factory to seal holes so debris doesn't enter that hole while its in the factory. It looks like that tape failed its job and so did the installer who connected the air vent. Maybe the clear tape had a similar purpose. Maybe the blue tape was shrink wrap and the clear tape was the place holder

Happened to me before as well pre-refresh model 3.

Very clever. My Highland has always had all sorts of random noises coming from the air vents and the b-pillar, among other places. It's bizarre to me that a company that puts as much thought into the tech as Tesla does designs a car whose interior is like a cheap plastic toy.

Were you able to find any that don't rely on an app? I want to plug it into my laptop as well.

I wasn’t looking for anything like that. Just grabbed the first usb-c phone one I saw on amazon

Oh my gosh!!!! ElonMusk what have you done?!

I have the same issue in my Model 3. Thought it was a leaf too. I asked the service tech during my tire rotation about it and he said there is a sticker that peels off and gets stuck. Very common. Crazy to see someone found and fixed because it's supposed to be difficult (prolly expensive at service center) to get out.

Thankfully the fan is not too deep. Disabled the AC and went into service mode just in case. Tbh the most difficult part is staying patient while you figure out how to control the scope inside

Make a video about to fix this. Just checked YouTube and couldn’t find anything.

Ford has a spec just for labels. It’s crazy what some requirements are related to legibility to adhesion, but it exists to avoid problems like this. That’s an advantage a “legacy” company has over Tesla. They learned the lesson decades ago related to quality and performance. Too bad they also have a lot of biases and baggage.

I actually just ordered the scope from the link you posted. Can you post of picture of where you entered the scope to get into the AC? Like where in the Tesla dash, and which side is that motor with the tape located. This has been driving me crazy for years when AC turns on.

Sure, I took pictures just now. You want to turn off the AC, get on the passenger side, set the seat as far back as you can and follow the pictures [here](https://imgur.com/a/lCjs6Gg). The panel in question is very easy to gently take off, clips are only on the top. Stick the scope where the red arrow is pointing. Tread carefully of course and I would be stoked if it helps.

another word of advice - if you see the sticker and it is in an unfavorable position inside the fan in respect to the scope, what worked for me was getting the snake out and briefly turning the AC on and off to let the fan spin. Do this a few times and one of them will be spot on.

Well done!

For electrical.

Which side is the passenger side? Right or left? For me, the passenger side is on the left. Edit: I see from the pics, it's the right side. It's the same panel you remove when doing a cabin filter replacement

Good work. You could be a doctor and perform colonoscopies!!

Hola! Por saber cuáles pueden estar afectado, de qué fábrica salió tu coche?

Привет! Мою машину собрали в городе Фремонт, штат Калифорния

El mío es de Shanghai. Creo que las unidades chinas no tienen ese problema, o al menos, no he visto ningún reporte nunca.

It should work with the camera app on your computer
