Do you live with squeaks and rattles?

[AO-Pete]

What about a howeling sound over the top of the vehicle while on the highway. Seems to happen when there is a slight cross wind. Anyone else experience this>?

Yes. It's not quiet at highway speeds, although for us the noise seems to be more from the mirrors/wiper area. Inside, there's a squeak from the drivers seat (the seat itself, not rubbing), the headline above the driver doesn't seem to be snapped in correctly (either that, or there's a LOT of movement), and there's something else in the headline above the passenger door. It's finally going in next month for all the recalls, so I'll have them take a look; as others have said though, this is a crap shot, more often than not things come back worse.

I had a couple. You can usually find them yourself by pressing on the locations that you hear them. Mine have been from the plastic clips the hold pieces into place. In nearly all of them, I pulled the piece out, sprayed silicon spray and reseated the piece and the squeak was gone. I now have 0.

Thanks for the info. I have a small creak in my rear view mirror, not a huge problem, but noticeable. Going to give this a try, I’m thinking this should work. I was going to use a small piece of felt or something, but this seems easier. ?

Yes I have a few here and there. One by B-pillar and seats sometimes make noise. Will lube up some spots when it gets too annoying.

I only have one rubbing creaking sound that drives me nuts and it’s where the drivers seat contacts the center console. I have the slightest clue on how to fix it.

A little lubrication where the seat is rubbing the center console?

I have the creaking console/seat bolster one (little piece of felt was my plan, even better the felt tape just mentioned in this thread. Also my back seat roof area in the center near the back window sometimes buzzes. I imagine it's a case that the silicon spray would help but I don't know how to remove it yet.

My steering wheel makes a strange creaking sound. Looking to address when I get my tires rotated.

Check the plastic pieces under the steering wheel. A felt piece has been installed below my steering wheel. I’m guessing to reduce a plastic on plastic creak.

Just got back from the service center to address a rattle I have on the drivers side . Unfortunately, it is intermittent, sometimes the rattle is there sometimes it is not. Of course as I went on the drive with the service member, it was very faint. Though, they said they may be able to do something about it. After about 2 hours waiting, my service appointment was complete. After driving home, it seemed even worse. I was wondering if anyone else has squeaks and rattles? Do you just live with it or have you had a successful service appointment to address it?

I was able to get my rattling fixed at my appointment it was the left piller around the triangle window and after the test drive the technician fixed the rattle on the steering column

I have a squeaky sound that seems to be coming from the yoke. The lady at the Tesla service center said it will go away. After 2,000 it seems to be some better.

My dashboard on the driver side is rattling like crazy on bumps. I have an appointment soon.

That is where mine is coming from.

FWIW, I talked to a couple of CT owners, and they mentioned that in this area of concern, wires may or may not need to be reseated and/or zip-tied to keep them from rattling around intermittently.

That is exactly what it sounds like. Wires or a connection rattling on the horizontal pillar under the screen. There is actually a place next to the wheel where if I press , it will cease its rattle. Service center appointment next Wednesday.
