Think that's the old half shaft chicanery, did you make a service appointment?

Anybody ran into this. This just started a few days ago, but getting worse. It's only happening to the front driver's side suspension. Link to video is below.

Make a service appointment. Known issue with a bolt on the front cv half shafts where it meets the wheel hub. New bolt, grease and correct torque has fixed it for me (for 1000 miles so far at least) and for many others with R1Ts. How long the fix lasts it up in the air. Maybe forever if it was torqued wrong to begin with.

Thanks. I do have a service appointment. Did they fix it the same day for you all? I would hate to leave the car.

Mine was exactly the same as the video posted. I just had Riv Mobile Service here yesterday and the tech had it fixed in no time. He told me he was just greasing the center spline on the front tires where the shaft from the electric motor goes into the rim. He actually showed me. Removed the center cap, removed the single bolt connecting to the shaft from the motor and he pulled back the shaft so it was almost out of the rim and he put a bunch of grease in there and reassembled. No more squeaking/creaking!
