Service question: Is Tesla good at finding "squeaks"?

[insaneoctane]

I'm at 12K miles and really don't have a great reason to bring my car in for service and tire rotation yet. The closest thing I have are some very light intermittent squeaks that appear to come from the A pillars. Not a slam dunk noise that is always there, but when it's there it annoys me. Full disclosure : I have have a hatred for squeaks and rattles and notice them like a hawk. Anyway, what are folks experiences with service's ability to fix these types of problems? Are they likely to say "can't reproduce" and want to fix a vehicle with "real" issues or are they good with this?

I've got a few squeaks and rattles and would like to have them addressed. wondering the same. Been hesitant to reach out since they're busy and these seem like minor issues.

I had a squeak/rattle issue all across the headliner in my model S. They immediately know it was from the sunroof seal and fixed it in about 5 minutes.

Not sure if the same will apply to all vehicles but I had a 2013 Model S with squeaks in the A pillar/sunroof area. I took it in and they applied grease to the affected areas and problem solved. As with most Teslas (and most cars in general) if one is experiencing a certain problem it is a common problem with lots of them. Just a manufacturing defect. When I had my repair done they knew exactly where to apply grease as this was a common problem they had with lots of cars.

Lots and lots of squeeking and other noise issues with early Tesla cars and based on my own experience and reading here the success rate at service centers is mixed. If under warranty I would bring it in!

My experiences good. S Dash top a big source, and they have insulated mine with felt tape.

My Model S has zero squeaks or rattles for the 3 years I had it. But my new Model 3 has vibrations/vibration sound above 45-50 MPH speed. I do a lot of highway driving and I am very sensitive to such sounds. It is probably wheel or tire. I took it in to get it checked. The technician did a test ride with me and acknowledged the sound. They kept the car for a full week and returned back saying no issues were found. I plan to take it to outside shop to get road force done.
