2023 Model Y rattles in the back

[Tezla206]

I had a really annoying rattle that was coming from the hatch right at the base of the rear window. It went away after I installed my license plates lol. I guess it was the bracket or something that was causing the rattle.

What is an isolator? Do you have the invoice with the description from the service tech?

This is what I had

Have you tried driving with the rear seats folded down? I had some noises and found coming from the there.

My 2023 has the rattle in the rear coming from the small glass window. SC replaced it and now it's rattle free. It took awhile for me to isolate the area since it only happened on a few certain roads.

At least one of these rattles is fixed. Apparently they had to replace the right rear passenger seat belt. I do hear different rattle on bumpy road that seem to be coming from rear seats themselves. But I am so tired after 8 service appointments since buying the car 3 months ago that I don’t have the energy to pursue this anymore.

One rattle source turned out to be our license plate. Even with 4 screws, there was still enough play to allow it to rattle inside its rubber frame. I bent the plate slightly to make it curved so that the center of the plate contacts the rubber mat of the holder before the edges do. Thus, tightening the screws results in the plate being secure at the edges while forcing the center section into contact as well.

😲🙀Tesla need to fix this crap. We are not beta testers for Tesla and have day jobs. Can’t keep debugging issues for Tesla while paying top dollar for a non luxury car.

NVH problems are unfortunately hard to diagnose and unless you pin point the exact problem, they probably won't do a good job of it. The warranty terms actually have a section to exclude noise, but generally SCs still makes an effort to address it.

i think this was the source of my rattle...i thought it was coming from inside the hatch. i put some foam pads under the plastic mount that came with car and also bent the plate to make the plastic mount hug the body. no rattle so far so hopefully its fixed.

I heard Tesla is cranking out a car every 30 seconds. At that speed they ought to miss a bolt or two. Need to up the QA!!
