Creaking noise with acceleration / deceleration

Hey guys, my brand new model 3 2023 making this creaking noise when I hit the accel, and creaks again when decelerating. It doesn’t occur when the car is at constant speed.

Sounds like it’s coming from the right side.
Resembles a creaky floor board.

I thought it has been the lower a pillar trim at some point, but now I’m not so sure. It’s getting worse and making a periodic click as well.
 
Would appreciate if you guys had any ideas. Already had service a few times in the weeks I’ve owned it for wind noise (turned out to be a loose door) and a center tail light bleed, as well as my windows squeaking so I’m hoping I won’t need a other visit 😛
 
i think i've got the exact same issue, most likely on the driver side. its incredibly strange. going to try and get a tesla mechanic in the car to hear it.

this thread seems to nail it
