Just booked my first Tesla service for Tuesday to get them to look at the steering wheel squeek. It's been reported on here before by others and it's finally starting to annoy me enough to do something. Seems to have progressively worsened since owning the vehicle. There's also another rattle I get which sounds like it comes from the passenger side under the dash, but I can't replicate this one consistently and only happens on rough road surfaces. I listed it as well to see if they can do anything.
Will report back on my experience next week

I take mine in that day for a steering wheel replacement (arranged in March) to address creaking noises coming from the wheel.

Mines started squeeking again so the tape didnt fix it.
I just turn the music up now.. Or use the squeek as an opportunity to practice acceptance of what is
When they have a good solution ill go back
That’s concerning to hear, especially if they perform the same “fix” to mine.Mines started squeeking again so the tape didnt fix it.

Just tell them that you've spoken to me and mine is squeaking again so they try something else
If it fixes yours, ill bring mine back to get that done
It seems to be when pressure is pushed in on the left hand side of the wheel and rotated.

So I did some more driving on rough country roads this weekend and this second rattle became way more apparent. I've isolated the noise to coming from the rear view mirror assembly. It sounds like a metal clip or something, but it's a pretty horrible buzzing noise - worse than anything the steering wheel does. I've added this to the service notes along with this video where you can hear it pretty clearly.
oh noo, post some vids of the noise if ya can, be good to compare what noise it was, as I had the creak on turning my wheel which they fixedMines started squeeking again so the tape didnt fix it.

ever since they fixed mine, its been good, only heard it once or twice reversing out my driveway and turning at the same time and when the car is cold (ie hasn't been driven yet just fresh coming out of drive way in the morning
I am not sure what they did to fix mine but I have driven another 2200km or so since and it hasn't come back. But the driver seat noise has, it isn't as bad as it was but it is slowly getting worse again.Mines started squeeking again so the tape didnt fix it.

Shoot, I have driven 482km and thinking I am overdoing itHrmm maybe its because i dont drive enough and something needs to wear itself out hahaha, ive just clicked over 9000km so the new car squeeks and rattle will either get better worse about now

i think i did that on the first day i had the car, or at least by the second, and then about a week later i was 3000km into a trip to country victoria!
I was just about to reply in the phantom braking thread, but then though it might be more appropriate to ask here.
With the setting "forward collision warning" in the manual it states:
By default, Forward Collision Warning is turned on. To turn off or adjust sensitivity, touch Controls > Autopilot > Forward Collision Warning. Instead of the default warning level of Medium, you can turn the warning Off, or you can choose to be warned Late or Early.
I have this setting on "late" and i still get the car slowing down when a car passes in front of me, with plenty of space that (unless they stop) there would never be a collision. It can interrupt the flow of traffic a bit, especially with Adelaide tailgaters, lane mergers and generally crackhead driving behaviour.
I get it, its a safety feature and ill leave it on, but just wanted to confirm that "late" means "leave it as long as possible" or do i have this around the wrong way?
Recent experiences with the M3H safety systems reassure me that they are a lot more clever than i am, and i have confidence they can react faster than i can but i just wanted to throw my thoughts out there
