    Scrubbing noise when turning. What is it?

    Another update in case anyone has info on this mystery ... I found an earlier thread on what appears to be this same issue, but they described it as a "moaning" sound. Here is a link to that: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/21-refresh-regen-moan-when-wheel-turned.315828/ Also, I lifted...

    21+ refresh regen 'moan' when wheel turned

    My 2020-12 Model S Long Range (recently purchased from Tesla used inventory) make a similar noise! It starts as more of a "scrubbing" noise, but intermittently has a louder "moaning" quality like yours that I can also feel as a subtle vibration in the steering wheel. Tesla Service said it...

    New to Tesla: 2016.5 Model S P100D

    Just a follow-up ... the full-price offer I received for $29,500 was legit and we just got done transferring ownership. My P90DL ended up going to a nice couple who are upgrading from a 2015 Model S 70. They flew here yesterday, we transferred it (bank+DMV) in under an hour, and they're...

    Scrubbing noise when turning. What is it?

    Thanks for the reply. Although it does sound similar to rusty rotors, it's definitely not that. I've been hearing that sound occasionally for five years, but only the next day after rain or a wash. A bit of braking always makes it quiet again.

    Scrubbing noise when turning. What is it?

    Suspension height made no difference. The scrubbing sound is the same at the highest and lowest suspension settings.

    Scrubbing noise when turning. What is it?

    Yes, it has air suspension ... standard on all the 2020's I believe. I've just been leaving that on "Auto", but I think I'll retest it set both low and high to see if that makes any difference. But I doubt it's just the tire rubbing, and I'd hope Tesla Service would have noticed something so...

    Thanks. Not sure if links are allowed (no advertising, etc), so I'll just say it's the only recent P90DL on OnlyUsedTesla dot com ... lots of pictures and a short video. Fortunately, I received a full-price offer earlier today, so I hope that all works out. :)

    Scrubbing noise when turning. What is it?

    Thanks, but there are no mud flaps on the car. I recently had Tesla Mobile Service at my house (for an unrelated issue), so I asked their tech about the noise. After hearing it, he had me turn lock-to-lock while parked to make sure no tires/wheels were rubbing. His service-vehicle was a Model...

    Scrubbing noise when turning. What is it?

    Thanks Peter. What device/speaker did you listen on? It's hard to hear through my iPhone speaker, and a laptop speaker may be similar. But it seems quite easy to hear through the speakers of my iMac and my TV and my Tesla. Regarding your vibration problem that went away, I recall reading that...

    Scrubbing noise when turning. What is it?

    My 2020-Dec Model S Long Range (recently purchased from Tesla used inventory with 38K miles) makes a rubbing/scrubbing sound during slow tight turns in either direction. Example video attached. My old 2016-Apr Model S P90D with 87K miles does not make this sound. It's only audible inside the...

    Thanks to you and brainhouston for your guidance. I thought the $4K tax credit was only for dealership-sales, so I just googled that. Apparently there's a loophole that allows companies (like KeySavvy, and maybe others?) to facilitate the private-sale (for a fee) in a way that qualifies for...

    Would love to know about what you paid. I just listed my 2016 P90DL on OnlyUsedTesla, and I'm not sure if asking $29K is too much? She's 87,400 miles and in great shape with free-forever Supercharging, but EV values have been dropping like a rock lately. Drive unit/battery warranty is good until...
