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 car (not outside), and the tires are not worn or rubbing. Tesla Service agreed it didn't sound normal, but could not determine the cause. They first said it sounded like failing bearings (my initial concern), but after-inspection, they said the bearings and CV joints all seemed fine. They replaced my worn suspension links, but the noise still persists. Here is my service-visit documentation:
Concern: Customer states: Other · Noise & Vibration - Audible scrubbing sound during slow speed tight turns as when parking. This is compared to my 2016 P90D Model S. Would like the drive line inspected. It feels like something is wearing out or about to fail.
Repair Notes: Discovered wear on some suspension joints in the vehicle. Replaced rear and front suspension links to help enhance ride quality and road noise. Aligned vehicle and drove car to validate alignment.
Anyone else experience this? Or any guesses about the cause? How concerned should I be? I still have 20 months of full-warranty remaining, so I don't mind taking it in for another service if I can give them something to check. Thanks in advance for your help.
