Click when Turning Wheel with Turn Signal ON

[iffatall]

Every time I turn the turn indicator on, and begin to turn the steering wheel, I hear a faint click - as if the auto turning off of the indicator upon steering wheel returning to normal position just got engaged. Is this normal?

Yes.

Yes.

To expand a bit, every car does this to some extent or another, it’s just more audible in a car that’s as silent as the Model S. My ’68 Mustang has absolutely the loudest click you’ve ever heard… (you can even see the turn signal indicator jumping a bit when it clicks).

I've yet to own a car that didn't make that sound.

That's cool then. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't only me. Thanks, everyone.

The sound generated when the turn signal indicator is disengaged and will return to it normal position when not in use( indicating a turn). P.S. sorry to beat the dead horse...

There were also some cars where the steering column was rubbing slightly on an adjacent piece of metal. Tesla put a shim in our car to fix it. Wasn't connected to turn signal for us.
