    Squeaky / Creaky Noise from Rear Seats (especially when going over bumps)?

    I drive a 2023 Tesla Model 3 LR that I picked up in December 2022. It currently has about 8,000 miles and no accidents/damage. I recently started hearing squeaky/creaky noises coming from my rear seat area, especially when going over bumps. It's not too audible if I'm playing music, but it's...

    Refreshed 2023 Model X Plaid creaking sounds

    Picked up my MXP 2 weeks ago on 6/13, noticed there is a creaking sound coming from the 2nd and 3rd row seats. Had a mobile appointment with the service technician sit in the ride with me as I drove, and he was able to hear it too. He told me that the sound was actually coming from the falcon...

    2022 Model X - Interior Noise / Rattling / Crackling

    Hello all - I'm new to the forum but I have searched in advance for this issue. I took delivery on a 2022 Model X a few months ago. There was a host of issues that we wanted to get resolved but one is particularly annoying for a ~145k car. The inside of my car has a tremendous amount of...

    Squeaky /creaky driver's seat issue identified

    tl;dr Sharing for people with the same issue: M3 driver's seat squeak is due to misaligned/rubbing seat rails. Proper fix is properly align the rails, less ideal/maybe temporary fix is add grease. I've had an annoying creaking noise in the driver side seat that seems to come and go in my 2022...

    Model X front end creaking

    I have a 2017 Model X that suddenly developed a loud creaking in the passenger side front end. The creaking seems to be related to the movement of the suspension, but I also notice it when I turn either direction. It’s not related to braking except to the extent that the suspension is...

    Creaking noise at front in 2018 LR RWD?

    I just got my M3 back from the body shop to repair some minor damage after some debris hit me on the freeway. Since then, it’s been making a knocking/creaking noise when driving. I notice it most at low speeds, but it’s not tied to steering or anything like that. Just happens constantly while...

    Rear creaking noise when load shifts

    I know this seems like just another creaking/rattling noise post, but I've searched everywhere and haven't come across anyone with a similar issue (it's not any of the common issues, like upper control arms or rear seat latches). I have a 2018 Model 3 Performance (stealth), and I've been...

    2017 MX Creaking Under Mild-Hard Acceleration/Now It Failed

    MX Baseline Stats: 2017 MX with approx 25k miles. Over the past year plus I would hear an intermittent creaking noise under mild to hard acceleration ONLY from the right front suspension area. Not bad enough for me to feel like it needed attention. Yesterday, as I was mildly accelerating...
