Squeaky brakes. Should this be looked at?

2023, bought it 2 weeks ago. Less than 2000km on the odometer.

It's not rust, I've tried the speed up slow down thing while shifting to neutral multiple times. In fact the friction brakes are always silent.

This only happens if I have 1-pedal drive on, or am braking in drive. Consistently, every time around 30-35kmh, about 18-20mph. Same with accelerating although not as loud.

It goes away below and above those speeds. But always happens at 30-35kmh.

Update: Got it back from dealer and they said it's just the regen brakes and normal.

So I still have no clue. Doesn't sound normal to me. But at the same time car drives fine. It just squeals a bit at low speeds.

I'm sorry but I don't hear it. Perhaps if your video showed the screen we might be able to understand better.

Also check that 'propulsion sound' is turned off in the drive mode selection. It's an odd noise.

22 into 23 seconds in that video is loudest.

I dunno, can try a better video. Some people can hear it, some can't. Don't hear anything with my windows up, but any time windows are down I can hear it every time I brake.

The factory pads/rotors are noisy'ish but at that speed the pads aren't even involved as it uses blended braking and is in re-gen at that time.
