Hey guys, newbie owner here of a 2019 M3P. Thought I'd add my experience here in case the info is useful.
I had the same clicking noise a couple weeks into ownership of my new-to-me used Tesla. Can't say if it was there before or not - it was so subtle you couldn't hear it with the windows up, even with no music on. Windows down one day and I picked it up, and after some testing I figured it was consistently happening under a threshold amount of acceleration/deceleration.
Its a slightly worse version of this:
(instead of having single clicks, I would have multiple, often 3-5 in quick succession).
I could have done this myself as I have some hobby background with vehicles but I thought it'd be peace of mind to take it to Tesla and get it done once, and done right. Plus I might have a leg to stand on if the issue came back.
Logged a service request with Tesla here in the UK. Tech seemed to be very familiar with the issue, and I asked if he confirmed this was the fix if he could take preventative maintenance on the other corners too. He agreed, at cost of course. Its not long enough to form a proper conclusion but £300 and 2 weeks later, no clicking observed at all. We've had some really wet weather the last week and no sign just yet of letting up, would be interesting to see how it copes over the UK winter.
