Old thread, sorry but I have same noise now as OP, is this normal? Creaking noise when turning wheel maximally while stopped or low speed, coming from under car front end. I’ve heard it before in other (older) cars

So someone posted this question already, but I’ll ask again- is it normal to hear creaking when maximally turning wheel when at low speed or stopped?

My own personal experience, had my 2017 S75 in for service a month ago before the new price reduction, I asked for fun what trade-in value was, they gave 43,500, before I did the MCU2 upgrade. Then I asked again this week after the price reduction, now the trade-in they offered is 39,000...

Does anyone know when Tesla changed the control arms to newer, presumably better version? Does it correspond to China’s recall (into 2017 cars)? Makes me a little worried about my July 2017 build.

I’ve been driving a P85D loaner the last few days, does feel pretty good compared to my 2017 S75. More sporty through the turns, better (heavier) steering feel than my S. However, still doesn’t feel nearly as sporty as my wife’s model 3. I wish they could do something about the steering feel...

Just installed Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4s, replaced the original Goodyear Eagles the car came with. Tires are a little more sporty but so far I’m taking a bigger range hit than I was expecting, averaging around 10% more energy usage per mile. The tires Tesla picks for us do matter on range.

Are the Goodyear Eagles that bad compared to the others mentioned? Going to need new tires soon, SC only offered Goodyear Eagle touring again ($230 each) or Michelin PS3s ($280 each), leaning towards PS3s but only 20k mileage warranty and in FL will not even get that

My 2017 S75 has droning sound at highway speeds above 82 mph from day one ownership, didn’t want to go through the whole DU swapping thing again (replaced two DUs on my previous 2013 model S for the droning), but it seems to be getting louder and if I’m going to keep this car that noise will get...

This is a very very long thread, and this may have already been asked and answered, but here goes. I just got an email from Tesla, until July 1 I can upgrade EAP to FSD for $3k. Does that mean I get MCU upgrade or any other hardware upgrade included in that price? I have a mid-2017 MS, MCU1...

Tesla could really eliminate 95% of the negative feelings about the service experience by just making it possible to speak to someone on the phone. Whoever thought it was ok to cut that part out of the equation really sucks and knows nothing about service. And yes I’ve owned Teslas since 2013...

I love Model 3 interior. What I thought at first was not that materials felt cheaper compared to a 5 series BMW or E-class Mercedes (same price range as current M3 version) but that the materials felt lighter, like cutting weight in there was a big factor. Luxury translates to heavy/weighty...

Same exact problem, was going to ask myself. Definitely began exactly after last software update 2018.18

Have not seen many here in South Florida still. I too am looking forward to seeing them more than the ubiquitous BMWs

Love my model 3. I’ve posted on other threads - this obsession with panel gaps while ignoring the car’s high-tech features, solid feel, excellent acceleration and handling, etc, and most of all ignoring that that it is an EV, is mind-boggling. If your car is leaking because of panel gaps, I...
