I know there has been some discussion about this in earlier threads but I'm now getting the dreaded squeak on the front suspension while at full (or close to) full lock.
I had the joints lubricated in 2021 and the upper control arms replaced in 2022 (both under warranty).
I'm now out of warranty and wondered if anyone else had experience with Tesla on this so some questions for the wisdom of the room :
1. If I book this in via Tesla what are they likely to fix and what might the cost be ?
2. I understand there have been revisions to the control arms - surely this is a tacid admission that the original design wasn't fit for purpose - how likely am I to be able to persuade Tesla this is something they should fix for free ?
3. Is it causing any damage i.e. if I ignore is it likely to cause more expensive damage ?
4. Could a local garage lubricate the joints ?
Thanks in advance !
