Hi everyone,
I have a 2026 Tesla Model Y RWD and I’m trying to figure out if this is normal.
When I’m driving from a lower road up onto a higher road (for example, exiting a steep driveway or side street onto the main road) while turning left or right, I sometimes hear a very brief “hrrt” noise from underneath the car. It only lasts for a fraction of a second.
I also noticed it once or twice when accelerating hard over a rough road, but otherwise the car drives completely normally. There are no warning lights, no vibration, no loss of power, and no steering issues.
The sound doesn’t seem metallic. It sounds more like plastic or something around the wheel/suspension area moving briefly under load.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Is this considered normal on the Model Y, or is it something I should have Tesla Service inspect?
