I had a similar discussion when I was at the service center for an unrelated issue. I had the advisor sit in the car with me and he could of course hear the noise. He figured it was probably something related to battery cooling and apparently had the tech check it out and confirm it’s a...

I tried to have my delivery switched to there but everyone told me Pittsburgh still wasn’t in their system for deliveries the week after the 3rd, and by the end of that week my car was already headed to Cleveland.

Yeah pretty sure that’s it! It’s easy NOT to notice it if there’s music or AC or a window is open.

I’ll double check but I believe the noise starts within a few seconds of entering a cold car even before I put my phone on the pad.

I admit I was questioning my color choice in between ordering and delivery but I have no regrets now that I have it.

It’s quite pleasant today- low 70s and low humidity. We’ll see if temperatures affect the noise when it eventually gets hot again. Or maybe I’ll stop at a supercharger later to see if that makes a difference in the sound 🤔

Did you have music and/or AC on? It’s entirely possible not to hear it at all unless you’re specifically trying to.

Yeah this seems like the most likely answer. I don’t think I’ll even notice the sound once I’m past the brand new notice everything phase.

Correct. HVAC off, seats off, music off- sound is still there.

Interesting, hadn’t thought of that possibility. But I hear the sound even when the vehicle is in park and I assume the pedestrian alert shouldn’t be playing in that case.

Let me preface this comment/question by saying that my R2 is amazingly quiet in general. Very little road noise, no motor whine, no vibration or rattling, and the HVAC hasn't been noticeably loud yet either. That said, because it is otherwise so quiet I have noticed that there is a constant...

I just picked up my R2 on Monday so I can't speak to before/after the update, but I do think I have heard a short chime once or twice without a clear explanation. One time may have been when the car in the adjacent lane briefly got a little close to me, but I'm not sure.

My delivery wasn’t scheduled until the car was at the SC and completely done with the pre-delivery inspection, which seems like the safer way to do it but maybe busier SCs need to schedule further in advance. On that note I’m picking up VIN 218x (LG/21) on Monday!

Yeah seems like it. I did get texts from both the online delivery guide person and the delivery person at the SC within a day or so of getting a VIN, both of which have been responsive to my questions.

Interesting! Maybe that’s just how the busier west coast spots operate vs. mine in the east/midwest

How are folks able to schedule delivery so far in advance? My car is at the SC getting a pre-delivery inspection as of Friday but I still don’t have the option to pick a delivery date/time. The only things I have left in the todo list otherwise are insurance and payment, and I’m assuming I...

Ordered Launch Green on 6/9, just got assigned VIN 218x.

Anyone else just get an email that says this? “We are getting your vehicle ready for production. When your R2 is assigned a vehicle identification number (VIN), you’ll be able to complete the purchasing experience and schedule your delivery.” Not really sure what this means for my chances of...

Talked to the manager of the Pittsburgh SC a few minutes ago and he said deliveries can begin here on July 3.

Oh interesting! They didn’t mention that when I did my test drive there. I have to take my R1S in for service on Thursday so I was going to ask about it then. When / what color did you order?
