Tesla Model 3 2022 creaking noises - brand new

[butterfly27]

Hi,

Just got a M3 4 days back, LR. I hear creaking noises every time I drive anywhere, coming from front / rear tire area. I am unable to attach a video of the noise, so i just published it on my youtube channel. I've only this one video, so its easy to find.

can someone please advise whether this is normal? I have an older M3 2019 with no noise but I cannot recall whether or not it arrived like that. Driven already 350 miles. Safe to drive?

I spoke w/sales today and he said to make a service appt but its WEEKS out at a minimum.

I consider it noise from the aero wheel covers. I've heard it from many other M3.

will it go away after awhile? is it normal?

That's not acceptable for a brand new car.

If it's the aero wheel covers, just take them all off and see if the noises stopped.

No, when it goes away it's just because the rim got dirty enough that the plastic slides without creaking.

It's the aero wheel covers. It's a common issue.

Not my videos but they show you how to fix it.
