2022 Tesla Model 3 — driver seat clicks during left-right transitions

ApexGarage956Community StarterNov 28, 20252022 Tesla Model 3 Long RangePennsylvania
2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 19,500 miles. I can feel a small click through the seat base in corners. Mounting bolts appear tight and power functions work. How do you isolate rail play versus the frame or motor mechanism? I am in Pennsylvania.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2022 Tesla Model 3 so service can see what you saw. That's where I'd start. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2022 Tesla Model 3, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. I'd do that before spending real money. On “driver seat clicks during left-right transitions,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Just my two cents from doing this recently. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

OP update: scanned the 2022 Tesla Model 3 again and still only have the one pending code, no new lights. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2022 Tesla Model 3 charge sessions. That's where I'd start. Just my two cents from doing this recently. Cold start is when I can actually reproduce it.
