Noise in front when starting in cold

[lynnpt2001]

Have a model 3 standard range plus Sometimes when starting from a stop sign or traffic light I hear a slight buzzing sound for about 1 second in the front end maybe toward the right front wheel anyone else experienced this?

Does it happen with the climate off? I've noticed slight buzzing noises when the climate control starts

Not sure, but it happens several times during a drive, mainly when I start from a stop light or stop sign, straight or turning does not make any difference and it does not happen each time. Randomly. It seems to be more when it is 35 degrees and below? I run my heat on manual and no AC turned on...

I hear it on a RWD LR 2018. I always thought it was something to do with the traction control (cold roads = a little slip at start) and it somewhat sounds like a pump running for a second.

I've heard the same, always thought it was this (from the manual):

Brake Disc Wiping
Model 3 is equipped with brake disc wiping,
which automatically assists in maintaining
brake responsiveness in cold and wet weather
conditions. When such conditions are
detected, brake disc wiping repeatedly applies
an imperceptible amount of brake force to
clear away water on the brake disc surface.
This ensures your brakes are responsive even
during poor weather conditions.

That could definitely be it.

Thanks, I was attempting to find out if it was normal, sounds like it probably is....
