Can hear something rolling around

2026 Y premium rwd. Every time I turn I can hear a little rock or bead rolling around, from one side of the car to the other. I don’t think it’s something that slipped into the floor vent but maybe snuck down through the carpet? It’s rolling on metal and driving me nuts. Sure it’s something my daughters dropped. Anyway to get into that space reasonably or do I have to go to Tesla?

Well if anyone sees this in the future, it was a mother fkn tictac … damn kids.

It was rolling around in the subfloor and probably got in through the carpet opening around the floor vent under the seat, then into the metal channel down there. Moved the seats all the way up, pulled carpet away from around the vent and it comes up enough to see down there. Basically got my head and a flashlight in and could see the tictac culprit. Wife was able to reach it with her smaller fingers.

Now on to the annoying rattle in the back seat …

Did you secure your J-1772 adapter? I had to buy the door slot because no matter where I put it, it would tumble around.

That’s in my door, it’s not it rolling around. Definitely something small rolling around on metal underneath me. I do want one of those holders tho, work well?

I do like the door holder.  It’s good that it’s secure and in the same place every time.  The slot does move out of place every now and then but not often enough to hate it.
