You may want to enter a roller of sticky things and try it if you have more wind noise than expected

- A Cybertruck owner says that an official Tesla service technology has used adhesive tape to solve its wind noise problems.
- The report sparked a series of comments on the same problem on other cybertrucks.
- In fact, it is not the only Tesla with excessive wind noise, but the band could be a practical solution for some.
For most of the story, large luxury vehicles had at least a big advantage, for example, of sports cars or less models: they were silent inside. This is generally part of the premium experience. However, according to several owners of Cybertruck, Tesla’s latest creation seems to have missed this memo.
An owner took his concerns about excessive wind noise in his local Tesla service center, and the proposed solution was surprisingly at low technology: adhesive tape. Yes, an old ribbon, the same thing you could use to wrap gifts or correct a torn page, has been suggested as a solution for a high -tech futuristic vehicle.
The customer in question has published anonymously on his experience on a Facebook cybertruck band. “Is it just my truck?! They haven’t said anything (sic) to do about it. Is it normal? Only on the driver’s side, ”they wrote. Their comment was specifically referred to in the response they obtained at their request.

In the service center document, the customer details his complaint. “The sound of the wind – I already serve this problem and I said it was standard. After driving your loan, I found that the noise in my car is much stronger than in others. They had tested another Cybertruck and found it significantly quieter, confirming that noise was not only a jerk of the model but a specific problem with their vehicle.
This is where the band comes into play. The technology that works on it indicates in the document that they checked that it was a problem. However, due to the “body adjustment specifications”, no adjustment to the panels is possible. Technology noted that “noise heard is a normal air turbulence which is expected with higher speed. No other action required for the moment.
The only action they have carried out is described as “noted that the recording of the panel space between the driver’s front and the fruit has reduced noise”. Does this mean that the fruit is no longer accessible? It wouldn’t be too good. Of course, since it is an anonymous source article, everything could be manufactured, but comments on the post suggest that this is not the case.
Several owners of Cybertruck report the same problem of wind noise. “The sound of the wind on mine is super strong, especially the windy days like yesterday,” said a commentator. “I bought decibels. The sound of about 50 mph is 70 dB. Go to 73 to 80 MPH, ”said another.
On the other hand, some in the comments section said they had no problems. However, we have also documented them in the past. Obviously, not all Cybertrucks are in the precision window of 10 micron, Elon Musk once asked.

In particular, wind noise complaints go beyond cybertruck regarding Tesla. Buyers of model 3 and model often complain about similar problems and have even taken forums to discuss solutions that involve other DIY measures.
It should be noted that electric vehicles can sometimes show what looks like an excessive wind noise, because in reality, it is comparable to what is obtained in an ice car every day. The difference being that an ice transmission can suffocate this wind noise to a degree.
Honestly, I can see where the service technician comes from here. They have no other way to satisfy the customer and the gaps or the transitions of the scotting panel is a proven and effective means of eliminating a little wind noise. I did it to my own Ford Flex on a few worn finish parts a month ago. It works quite well and is difficult to spot when it is done well.
