12/2013 build S85 65k miles Second DU replacement. Easy on car, garaged. Had iso failure, car drove fine before failure and drove fine to the service appt. ASY,P-TRAIN,RMN,MDLS,BASE,CMC,HS,FA2+(1025276-00-Q) Feels more powerful but I'm not sure because my loaner was an X on Chill mode...

Did you get your heat fixed? If so, what did they tell you?

Once I read CNBC, I knew it was crap. Garbage stories.

Came across this video from a youtuber I follow. He talks about possible corrosion of some of the caliper hardware from certain wheel cleaners. Still uncertain as to why I dont get this with my 19s but maybe it's part of the problem. I am still getting the noise just before full stops and...

I've always kept standard on. One of the suggestions from service was to run Low Regen with the 21s, or just in general every once in a while for proper rotor wear. Car is going on 6 years old with 60k on original rotors and brakes. I'll report back if I notice anything but this is really...

@Navsarin Do you run standard or low regen?

Just got mine back from service. They could not replicate it. I emphasized that it ONLY happens on 21s. I've been driving 19s for over 5 years and never had this. The tech had some good guesses as to the change, like "larger rolling mass" due to the 21s and causing the car to rock back...

@ahkahn It's not the brake "sticking" to rotors when wet. It's a different sound (like an old piece of furniture or door hinge). Watch the video of the sound recording.

@BrokerDon I have a non performance and usually run 19s. Never get it with my 19s. The mystery appears to be with those that usually run 19s and occasionally install their 21s.

Tried disabling Creep and messing around with regen. Trying to get a different result/sound. No change. The suggestion about possibly lowering the air pressure is interesting but I dont want to trade that for the sound, in the event that it does work. I'm bummed about this. Will report back...

It's not the brakes. Never happens with my 19s. I'm going to see if Service gives me the same explanation. However, the creep setting sounds interesting. I'll try messing around with that later.

This is exactly what's happening to me. 2013 Model S on springs, no air suspension. I've used 19in since new and NEVER got this noise. Got Arachnids from Tesla and the noise came on. Thought it was brakes or maybe wasnt torqued correctly. This is my second season with the wheels. I just put...

Has anyone come across a product that will diffuse an older Model S (pre facelift) DRL? I know of the company that offers this and also includes the option to paint the inside of the light assembly. However, it is quite pricey and I'd have to ship my lights or source new ones to ship to them...

Any suggestions/experience in the Southern New England area (RI, south of boston). My 2013's original 19s are looking rough.
