Today is a scorcher. It is currently 110 degrees outside and my MME is parked in my driveway sitting in the sun. There is a very loud noise coming from the MME that I have never heard before. I also noticed that the slots in the front grill are open. I am guessing this loud noise is the cooling fan attempting to cool the battery while it is parked in the heat.

I just wanted to confirm this noise is normal. I have attached a very short video of the noise. If you could please give it a listen and let me know if this is normal, that would be much appreciated,

Thank you,
Joe

Yup, sounds like my F150 Lightning these past weeks.

Temps today hit 109 degrees.

Yes, Tesla Model Y is actually louder sometimes, I walked by one a month or so ago when it was hot outside and I was like DAMN

Yup, especially if you’re charging. Not to worry.
