Got my car on September 29th. Have exactly the same issue. Brakes squeal so much when I'm backing out of garage - it is embarrassing. Seems to be getting worse.
Did you get any resolution on this?

Got my X on the 29th. Today, for the first time, I noticed squealing when backing out of my driveway. No bueno.

I was responding to others who are having it happen for the first time or intermittently. It sounds like yours has a different problem.
I called the service dept and they put a tech on the phone as I backed out and they said bring it in. They found a metal shaving between the rotor and the pad. Since it has been fine.
I have the same problem on my model X. Day after rain, backing out of the garage creates very lough squeal noise and it is embarrassing to have neighbors witnessing this loud noise and them asking what's up with that noise. I initially thought, this would be a one time issue but it reappears every time it rains. I will have to contact SC.

I've been having this issue with my Model X for the past few months. They replaced both front rotors and the noise seemed to alleviate for a week. But after few weeks now, it is back to the original levels. In my case, I hear the noise even braking moving forward.
Anyone else experiencing this recently and any resolutions?

Had this issue. Burnished the brakes and all is well. Occasionally it will squeal after sitting overnight after driving in the rain but it goes away after the first brake application.
To burnish them do 6 or 7 hard braking stops from 60 a mile apart with regen set to minimum.

Does it go away after driving a few miles and having pressed the brake a couple of times? It is normal for any car, where rust (from rain etc.) built up on the disc to make a low toned, rubbing, squaking sound. Mine does that too. Get rid of the rust-layer by braking (not re-genning only) and viola, gone. Any steel brake-disk can do this.
Exactly. Disk brake rotors rust. Usually this is not a big deal because you use the brakes so often. But with regen I very seldom press hard on my brake pedal and then only for a second or two, versus the 5 of -6 seconds of breaking I did at every highway off-ramp in an ICE car.
