I swear I already have a wheel bearing making noise on slow turns but it could be a brake pad just touching or something.
I had about 60 days on my 2017 with zero issues. Just consumables (tires, brakes, fluids). But, i run my car bone stock (plus track alignment and fluids).

If you start using high torque "race" pads, or upgrade to stickier tires, you will absolutely see components go much faster, due to higher heat and load levels - no two ways about it.

Hope this helps. Cheers!
