Steering squeaking at low speeds

Hey TMC.

I’ve had my model 3 for a week now and it’s beven great! Now that I’m not taking advantage of the awesome acceleration at every oppurtunity, I’ve noticed a squeak in the steering. It happens at low speeds 1-5mph and only when the steering wheel crosses the center point(where the wheels are straight. I got a video of it. Any thoughts?

I’m planning on calling the SC later but while I wait I’d see if anyone else has noticed this or knows what’s causing it.

Got a SC appointment scheduled for Friday. Hoping its nothing major

 

And go fast it does! My solution so far has just been to go fast enough that it doesn't squeak.

 

As a note the squeaking did start to happen at faster speeds up to 20mph over the weekend.

Its at the SC right now, dropped it off this morning. They had a P100D waiting for me . I have a little bit of speed envy but I do miss the shorter wheel base and the handling of my 3.

 

Got my 3 back last night! The re installed the steering column and the squeak went away. I really do appreciate the size and weight of the p3d vs the p100d.
