Sounds like I am inside a cargo van. This is on the passenger side, seems like it might be from the seatbelt retractor inside the pillar.

Has anyone else experienced this, ideas on how to resolve? Will be taking into the dealer but looking to go in with as much info as possible.

Thanks

I have a squeak from this area. Did it get solved and if so, what did they have to do?

Is yours a high pitched squeak? And full leather interior by any chance? I had something similair, the dealer treated the leather with a conditioner material.

It is fairly high pitched and yes I have full leather. In sitting in the back with either seat folded down (with my wife driving), it really seams to be coming from behind the passenger c-pillar.

I did also notice that one of my seats can squeak if I squeeze the cushion but this doesnt happen with normal driving.

It sounds similar, my dealer conditioned the leather and it was gone. They then proceeded to tell me it was a product thing of the leather being so new, but we left it at that since other Taycans didn't have it :)

Thanks for sharing this. Do you recall where your squeak was coming from?

Same area, the c-pillar or around where the seatbelt comes from in the left passenger area.

It turned out that the dealer failed to remove one of the bump stops used for transportation to the dealer when I took delivery, and that was somehow causing this noise.

That is very interesting. My squeak reminds me of packaging styrofoam rubbing against plastic. I will have to do some extra snooping around. I loathe taking my cars in for service….I think this will be my final attempt. Much appreciated.
