Silent indicators

Me too - MY LR March 2022 MIC - twice in two trips out in last week, for about 45 seconds to a minute. Radio and indicator noise both returned at same time.
Generally I find them to be too quiet. Always have to double check if they are on or not.
Also, if you try to put them a second time by pressing the stalk in the same direction you did previously, this disable the indicators if they were on. Pretty silly UX as far as I'm concerned....

Not overly unusual with self-centring indicator stalks. I don't love it but it is the same on some other cars as well. I know Mini do this also.
I had a Mini and the indicator only stops if you’re pressing in the opposite direction, not if you’re repeating the same movement, much more intuitive for me…
Yeah, I was wondering about this. What is the best way to submit these kinds of things to Tesla?
Via the app, service request/other usually gets you through to a knowledgeable person reasonably quick.
Indicator noise actually comes from a speaker on the back of the screen (or around that area), I think it's a function of the MCU (entertainment) computer - sounds like that whole unit, or the sound driver part at least, is hanging?
Have you tried a reboot? Press and hold both steering wheel buttons for a bit to reboot just the MCU/screen. Can be done while driving if you are brave/desperate as it's the display, not any real functions, but I'd Def recommend while safely parked up at home the first time!

I think it might have something to do with new privacy legislation. Next, they'll probably disconnect your brake lights. No one should know what your intentions are while you are driving because it's none of anyone else's business and might make you feel 'unsafe'. (This was a change recommended by the kids at university). 
Well, are brake lights PII?! you live in a small village, of which there’s <10 teslas - of which you recognise the plates but not sure who owns which. You also know that of those 10 owners, 9 used to be BMW drivers and therefore the 1 left over was the safe driver. So if the brake lights came on in reasonable time you therefore know who’s driving the car!I think it might have something to do with new privacy legislation.

Tenuous enough for you?

I have had this too, I also think it is possibly related to following thread, although not for 10 mins more like 1 minute as you mention. is it normal to take 10mins for car to initialise from start !
