Extreme fan noise/vibration - 2023 Model 3/Y at 55k miles (Out of Warranty) Hey everyone, looking for some insight on a loud fan issue. My 2023 [Model 3/Y] just hit 55k miles and has developed an extreme fan noise that sounds like a jet engine/loud vibration. It’s most noticeable when the AC is cranking or during preconditioning. I’m officially 5k miles past the basic warranty, so I’m trying to figure out if this is likely just debris in the intake/radiator or if a fan bearing is shot. Has anyone had success getting this 'goodwilled' just past 50k, or is this a common DIY cleaning fix? Any tips on where to look first would be huge
