Has anyone with an AWD Model had the squeaking/chirping noise from the front motor/inverter fixed?

This is the only issue I have with my truck and its has been getting progressively worse. I've had the truck since June '24. It only happens between 15-40 mph (audio/video attached). The sound in the video file doesn't do justice to how loud the noise actually is. Its loud, and can be heard over music at a decent level.

That seems very loud. It sounds like the front motor. Mine makes the same noise but significantly quieter. I really only hear it if I have the music off.

Yea, I don't hear anything unusual there; normal induction/gear whine.

Mine has a metallic hiss like a bad bearing when cruising at ~45mph. Actually, it's getting worse. I heard it while accelerating today. Didn't do that before. You can hear the hiss start at around the 10 sec mark in the video.

Yes mines in the SC for the last week for this issue, they believe it’s 2 separate issues, wheel bearing and wind/air noise unknown… it’s almost like one of the 3 flaps behind the air filter open up or getting air rushing by. If you remove your air filter and look, the 3 hvac doors seals are like jagged points, not a smooth round gasket. Maybe that’s where this whistle, air leak noise is coming from.

do you mean that "beeping" noise that increases? ive never heard this on my 2026 AWD CT... i take off on the line as much as i can and keep my foot in the tank.. i hear the motors "spool" up when you got your foot in the tank but no other sounds...
Yes, the beeping noise, other than that, I dont understand what you said.

This sound is normal. Tesla let me borrow 2 beasts and a different AWD (when I had maintenance). All do it, mine seems louder than most, but they all make it. It's the only Tesla that makes this sound and the Service Center said it's gear whine.

As others and myself said in the thread. Tesla claims all CTS either already make this sound or will eventually.
What you posted doesn't sound anything like mine. I'd take that noise over mine anyday.

I can hear mine over the music.

Tesla put new improved motors into the CTs starting with July 2024 builds. Much smoother and quiter. My June 2024 build has noise and smoothness issues as well. Currently going back and forth with service center about it.

They are saying this sound is normal.
