A Cybertruck owner says he recently took his truck in for service because of a noise complaint.
However, he adds that Tesla turned him back and stated that the only way to lower the loud noise was to apply tape over the body panels.
The surprised Cybertruck owner shared his experience on the Cybertruck Owners Only group on Facebook.
Here is what he wrote…
“Is it just my Cybertruck?! Tesla said there is nothing they can do about the noise. Is that normal? I hear the loud noise only from the driver's side.”
Below his post, the Cybertruck owner shared a screenshot of what his Tesla service tech noted after examining his truck.
The Tesla service tech wrote down the complaint as told by the Cybertruck owner.
Here is what he wrote…
“Concern: Customer states: Wind Noise - I already took this issue to Tesla service and was told this is standard. However, after driving a loaner Cybertruck you provided, I found that the noise in my Cybertruck is much stronger than in others.”
One good thing here is that the Tesla tech has taken down the Cybertruck owner’s complaint properly.
Unfortunately, after examining the vehicle, the Tesla technician says there is no fix for the loud noise other than applying tape to cover the panel gaps.
He writes…
“Repair Notes: Verified the customer’s concern. Drove and compared with two other trucks of similar VIN range and found the turbulence noise was consistent in all trucks, some even louder than this vehicle.
I found that taping off the panel gap between the driver's front fender and the frunk reduced the noise; however, no adjustment to those panels is possible due to body fitment specifications.
The noise heard is normal air turbulence that is expected with a higher speed. No further action is required at this time.”
Finally, the Tesla tech concluded the repair note by writing that the issue was covered under a basic limited vehicle warranty.
Being told the only way to reduce the loud noise on your $100,000 car is to put tape over the panel gaps is far from ideal.
However, looking at the comments, some Cybertruck owners suggested that the noise issue was due to the Cybertruck being an older build.
In response, the Cybertruck owner says he took delivery of his truck less than 2 months ago, at the end of December.
Another interesting point is that several other Cybertruck owners expressed their frustration with loud wind noise on their Cybertrucks.
One Cybertruck owner, Mike Brucker, even shared a bizarre experience he had with a Tesla service tech.
The Tesla technician wore a winter hat over his ears during a test drive meant to identify the wind noise.
Mike describes his experience writing…
“I brought my Cybertruck into service for wind noise this week. During our test drive, the technician was wearing a winter hat, and I suggested that it might be easier to hear it if his ears weren’t covered.
He said no, he was fine, and he could hear it. Then, he noted on the service ticket that he didn’t hear any wind noise.
I also have a speaker that clearly is making a terrible rattle like it’s blown, and the tech noted that I was streaming music, playing louder than 75%, with no issues found at 75% volume.”
This is, again, not an ideal situation, and it appears that several Cybertruck owners have similarly unanswered loud noise complaints.
Overall, this is frustrating, but now Cybertruck owners at least know they can put tape over the body panels to reduce the wind noise.
