Tesla Model 3 road acoustics and seals

[Robert1988]

I possess a 2026 T3 (previously owned a 2018 T3) and am contemplating the value of purchasing after-market gaskets for the doors and frunk to diminish road noise. Are there any disadvantages?

I am profoundly intrigued by this. I understand that Elon's engineers were fervently attempting to reduce weight, yet the road noise from other vehicles infiltrates the cabin more than I am used to.

Negative. Observe:

I’ve seen mixed feedback on these kits. Certain proprietors observe a minor decrease in wind noise and value the protection against dust and moisture at the door sills; however, I would not anticipate a significant diminishment in road noise.

A disadvantage is that the additional rubber may complicate the closure of the doors, particularly if the seals are excessively thick or improperly aligned. Adhesion may pose a problem as time progresses, and one must exercise caution to avoid impeding any drainage outlets.
