One problem related to suspension noise has been reported for the 2018 Tesla Model S. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This a complaint about the Tesla suspension forelinks which are still snapping off and causing danger to the public. At least three new cases of failure have been reported within the last few weeks. Despite forum posters urging the owners to report their failures to NHTSA the owners have not done so. Pressure from Tesla supporters to "support the mission" and financial self-interest mean that these failures are being under-reported. Here is a discussion forum about this :https://teslamotorsclub. Com/tmc/threads/another-front-suspension-control-arm-failure. 114967/page-7#post-4035913 **snip** I believe I've joined the "club", too. 2017 Tesla s 75d with <13,500 miles is in the shop now after having it towed last night. The service rep let me know that while they're not done inspecting it - they've determined it's "fully covered under warranty". My story is similar to most. On way home from work yesterday, my car started making strange noises at low speeds, uphill and/or around these "islands" seattle has at cross streets in neighborhoods to slow traffic. I got home, made an online service center appt for next week. Went out again and then the "catastrophic" failure began. I had to drive a bit (guessing a half mile) before I could find a safe spot and one big enough to pull over. Tire is gouged horribly. Metal showing through wheel well, car appeared to be sitting on wheel, but hard to see clearly. For anyone who thinks this is due to "rough" driving - I politely suggest you stfu. I baby my car. ** please take action. Note: VIN of random Tesla in wrecking yard used in this report.
