New 2023 Model S, 5 days new. So thrilled with it as it replaces my S 2016 and it's like a whole new level. Anywho, I have what sounds like a small creak or bind sound coming from the yoke when I make basic left/right turns. It is not every time, and it seems like more frequent at the start of a drive. It's not very loud, but I'd like to think I could resolve. If music is on I almost never hear, but that's not the solution I was looking for. I may try and get an audio of it from my phone, but not sure it will be enough to assist.

Thanks in advance.

Does not appear to be a common problem.

Might be a new one caused by the EOY rush.

Try adjusting the yoke in/out and up/down to see if it goes away or changes.

Bummer. Will try the yoke reposisiton over a full range of travel multiple times and see if that resolves. I defintely will give it some time before a service consideration. It's just not that bad. Yet.

If you can avoid the SvC, I would. Likely to not fix the issue and break something else in the process.

Mobile can replace the yoke easily, if it turns out to be the problem.
