There is a weird creaking noise coming from all 4 wheels of a 2023 Model Y when rolling slowly. Anyone know what that is?

Not my car, family who live on the other end of the continent, they say the same noise comes from all 4 wheels, so it would be unlikely the same trash in all. Will have then check. The creaking is not dependent on the wheel position either, so the barcode also unlikely.Could be this: Weird noise from Model Y
Not sure if the 19" Continentals have the same barcode as the 21" Michelin
Did you inspect the inner side of the wheel\tire to see if you have some trash from the road stuck in the suspension area?
Then maybe a tire barcode sticker: Weird noise from Model YNot my car, family who live on the other end of the continent, they say the same noise comes from all 4 wheels, so it would be unlikely the same trash in all.

After listening to the video again and reading your post, I agree that it's very likely what you mentionThis is the first I'm hearing of anyone with a 2023 reporting the issue, but it was an issue back in 2021. Its the Gemini wheel covers "creaking".
Pull them off and see if the noise goes away. If so, the solution back then was to trim down these small plastic nibs around the perimeter of the wheel cover. That is whats rubbing and making the noise
Take out the wheel covers and see if the creaking goes away.

Just hear this noise on my 23 model y performance...is there a video or photos on how to fix this on my own or do i need to contact tesla serviceYep, on Geminis it's the wheel covers that make noise. On Uberturbines, it's the barcode sticker that makes noise.
Can't win unless you have Inductions!
The tires need to be removed to have the barcode label sanded off. Tesla would be the most expensive route unless they cover it under warranty, which some have had luck with. If you want to be sure that's the noise, spray some WD40 on the barcode (You should be able to see it with the tire mounted) then roll the car back and forth to see if the noise goes away.Just hear this noise on my 23 model y performance...is there a video or photos on how to fix this on my own or do i need to contact tesla service
Thanks for all the info
So on the aftermarket hubcaps, they send a roll of what looks like foam weatherstrip tape that you apply around the entire outer edge of the hubcap (where the tape is). I would image that would work here as well.This person put tape over the tabs

For me the creaking was coming from the lugnut wheel cap (only on a single wheel); I removed the cap and the creaking went away. It's a two minute check that can be done at home so give that a try first. Try driving around without caps and see if that makes a difference.Just hear this noise on my 23 model y performance...is there a video or photos on how to fix this on my own or do i need to contact tesla service
