    hi all,

    recently i went on a late night drive. about thirty minutes in, i noticed a strange little whirring sound inside the cabin, muffled by my stereo and A/C. after turning off both I could still hear it running for a few seconds before it stopped, started, and stopped again. It did this several times throughout that drive and then never again since. Is this an A/C issue? Battery ventilation? Something I need to worry about at all?

    Thanks!

    Yep video won't play...if it was behind you, that's the cooling fan under the back seat cooling off the batteries, which would be normal.

    We have the same Gen, 2017 and 2021 and for some odd reason my wife's 2017 is much louder then my car....not sure why...maybe an upgrade to that blower motor??
