Mine started squeaking at about 40k miles. I didn't feel like replacing them yet and they were still solid so I did the grease gun with needle fitting "fix". Squeak went completely away after a day and has been gone for the last 10k+ miles.
After warranty expired, only issues were paid for was upper control arm replacement in the front because of squeaks and tail light went out because water got in.
I just had an issue with creaking control arms. Tesla warrantied the labor and changed $250 for the parts.
I have a July 2018 Model 3 with 95,000 miles. Had one upper control arm replaced under warranty at 36,000 miles. I had to pay $400 to replace the other one at 53,200 miles.
I have 51,900 miles on my car and it just started to squeak like a 1970's car when I turn the wheel- REALLY LOUD. So I've read all the articles and I know this is a known issue for control arms...
I have a Model3 RWD, the heavy batteries cause the arms to crack, just by weight alone with road conditions in southern Cali. Both of my arms on both sides were denied by one service center. However, a month later, I took it to a different service center and they processed all of it under warranty.
2014 Model S P85D control arm broke while driving home. Tesla repair center won't work on it and claim that it was in an accident and to go through insurance. The vehicle has not been in an accident since I've owned it.
