Anyone fixed the interior creak?

[BigJackXLT]

I took my CT into service, got a bit of a runaround, but now it's all fixed. I dropped my truck off the night before my service appointment. Got a note in the Tesla App late the next day that the service appointment was done. Went to pick up my CT and they said they were unable to replicate the issue. Really?!? They blamed it on me not being there to take a test drive with a technician. I sat in the driver's seat right there in their parking lot and showed them rocking back and forth like I was accelerating and braking; squeaked super loud, immediately repeatable. So they kept my truck another day, replaced the whole driver's seat. Quiet as a church mouse now.

Had the squeak, was pretty damn bad. anytime turning left or right or even changing lanes a shit ton of creaks.

Bought a WD40 specialist silicone spray, went to work and sprayed it in every place where two pieces of plastic/rubber met in the center console.

Noise gone!!

I was able to identify the issue on my end happens when the seat is on the low setting and a little back it can touch the center make it squeak accelerating and decelerating the squeak went away putting the seat a little higher.

Similar fix for me. I removed the rear panel to the console and found the pieces rubbing together and after silicone spraying where the squeaking parts met it appears to have fixed the problem for now.

Anyone experiencing creaking noises from the rear passenger C pillar area during acceleration and deceleration? My service center has attempted to fix it 5 times with various service appointments between May to end of October but it always comes back.

Have same issue. Did Tesla ever fix your C pillar Creak?

@Brant9 they we’re not able to fix after another 7 attempts and ended up buying back my FS.

I’m in the same boat, offered to buyback after 5 tries with 2 at the collision center and a rivet patch. Tesla now wants to charge me a mileage offset @ $1 per mile at my current mileage when I reported this issue 8 days after delivery, was then put in an engineering study and would let me know when they came up with a fix. Never happened.

@Brant9 they charged me for the miles too despite the issue being reported at delivery but it was still worth it despite losing money on the miles because of the cost difference between the FS and regular AWD plus the $7500 tax credit.
