These look great. What is the delivery time for an order? What are the front and rear offsets?

Patp, thanks for the info. When you suggest Nokians, do you suggest the studded model (such as the Hakkapeliitta 8 or 9) or the non studded (like the R3)?

silentcorp, Thanks for sharing. It would be interesting to know what vehicle settings you were using at the time. Regarding tire availability for the P3D - I'm looking for winter tire options and found this post in the process. The Michelin Alpin (which I am still considering) is not the only...

Thanks for sharing the details of your purchase, Tslamir. This is helpful.

Its hard to say without getting in there to see what is being loaded and unloaded when the noise occurs. I went back to the showroom where I originally drove a P3D and test drove two of them. The P3D I originally drove did not make the clicking noise. I tested it similar to the car I ordered...

Entering my VIN on that form results in "No recalls found."

Sandie, thanks for sharing. Can you ask your brother to watch Oyinko's video to see if the sound is identical to what he heard?

Thanks Oyinko. They are encapsulated by the hub when assembled, so it would not be possible to see them without disassembly. But for reference here is a photo of a Tesla front drive half shaft (this one is for a Model S) Google Image Result for...

Just sent you a PM / Conversation invite. Please let me know if you didnt get it.

A half shaft is the CV axle that connects the wheel hub to the drive motor. If the splines on those are not of tight enough tolerance, you can have slop between moving components. Another Tesla owner commented on this being a potential problem but I didn't see a confirmed solution. Another said...

Thanks for the follow up, Oyinko. Were any of the other suggestions on Reddit useful? I see some people talking about re torquing the lug nuts and axle shaft nut. Others talk about half shaft spline tolerance and missing spacers. Its unclear how much those have to do with the problem.

Thanks for posting, this is informative

No spoiler (or badges) on the P3D we ordered. The build date was late November, and the car was at the showroom first week of December.

I heard this noise on the P3D we ordered. I raised the concern to a Tesla rep and they replaced the charge port. The noise is now gone.

Oyinko, I inspected the P3D I ordered at the Service Center and it made the same noise in the video you posted. The noise was replicated in the SC parking lot, which is a flat surface without inclines. Moderate acceleration forward from a stop caused the noise every time. Moderate acceleration...
