Cold car, acceleration around 60mpg clicking

So first time experiencing this in my 2019 raven s p100D. In Ludacris mode when I take off from a cold battery tonight that showed limited regen breaking I did a take off and 50-60 range it starting to make a clicking and the overall launch seemed impacted for sure. Happened all 3 times. Hard to say where clicking coming from. Is this some governer kicking in or do I have something broken on my 3 month old car?
First ever heard this and only variable I can think of it’s cold outside and car sat for 3 hrs in 30f degree temps.

Today car was warmed up and tried a few take offs and no clicking sound....
 
I believe mine only occurred when I had the vehicle height raised. It hasn’t occurred since and I have not gone back to trying hard acceleration again with vehicle height raised. Should I let this be or should I try to see if it happens at the raised height as it is a symptom of a bigger underlying problem I will have in the future? Car still well under warranty at just under 6 months old.
 
That’s when it is most prone to making the death rattle. You’re not supposed to have a hard acceleration in the “high” mode anyway. Really become an issue when it’s making the noise in standard or low since that’s the typical driving height.
