| SB-19-16-010 | 2019-08-12. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY. The HV battery on some Model 3 vehicles might produce a subtle "thunk" noise when ascending or descending a mountain, or during Supercharging in colder climates. The "thunk" noise occurs when the air pressure outside the battery is different than the air pressure inside battery. The "thunk" noise does not indicate a fault or affect the performance of the HV battery. |
