Road and Tire noise reduction…..lazy man’s solution: extra floor mats

[LDRHAWKE]

Even relatively quiet tires like Michelins, noise level changes from different types of pavement. with the Cyb truck you notice a lot of tire noise on some pavements. I looked into some articles showing the removing a lot of the flooring interior of the total truck to add an asphalt, aluminum foil that adds density to reduce noise level. It requires an extensive lot of work to do it on the cyber truck.. I did this on my last vehicle and it is pretty effective.

I am getting a little lazy in my old age, and took the lazy man’s approach. I just installed a second set of thick carpet pads and installed them on top of the existing carpet pads. I haven‘t measured with a dB meter, but Noise level reduction is noticeable. .

Make sure your gas pedal don't get stuck

What's this "Gas" pedal you speak of? Is it an aftermarket add on? lol

From the owner's manual...

Floor Mats
(If equipped) To extend the life of your carpet and make them easier to clean, use genuine Tesla floor mats available online at http://www.tesla.com. Maintain floor mats by regularly cleaning them and checking that they are properly attached. Replace floor mats if they become excessively worn.

Warning
To avoid potential interference with a foot pedal, ensure that the driver’s floor mat is securely fastened, and never place an additional floor mat on top of it. Floor mats should always rest on top of the vehicle carpeting surface and not on another floor mat or other covering.

What kind did you get? Recommend a certain one?

AMAZON..

they are thick and well made with Velcro on the back. If your carpet underneath doesn’t slip these won’t either. I have had no issues with their sliding up onto the gas peddle. Actually the added thickness seems to stop it from happening and they lay firmly in place

Very nice. Do you just use these in place of existing or double up? I have the included cloth ones Cybertrucks came with.

DOUBLE UP…THE WENNEBIRD have built in velcro on the back so they lock onto the stock . Just take care aligning them so they leave space around the accelerator peddle. Doubling up helps to keep them in place and adds soun
d proofing.

My Foundation came with both the All-Weather Interior Liners and the Carpet Interior Mats. I use the All-Weather ones all year round.

Per your idea, I pulled the Carpet Mats sitting on the garage shelf for the past 2 years and installed them under the All-Weather Liners.

Yes, it does help with the sound reduction! OP Thank-you for your idea.

I like the 3w mats with both the rubber and carpet layer I have in mine. They are also quite thick but I can’t say honestly I’ve noticed noise reduction. Maybe?

Just installed the floor mats yesterday. I like them, the mats have a nice thickness and look good. Not sure if they help with sound, but maybe. Thank you for the recommendation.
