I discovered this myself a few weeks ago, but I'm in my 20's with no kids so it's not an issue for me. Might be a different story if I frequently had people jumping around back there.
Are people really getting "embarrassed" about what other people will think? Who cares? Seems silly and superficial... talk about the epitome of first world problems.
Interesting. Let us know if you feel it helps with sound deadening in the cabin. That would be worth it right there as the tinny noise is only an issue (in my instance) if you know its there for the most part, or a passenger taps their feet or drops an object.Since I was back at the service center today, I went ahead and brought up this issue. Parts are a national backorder right now, it is a known issue and there is a fix. They said they take out the carpet and seats and glue down some stuff that removes the noise. They will contact me when the parts are available (not any time soon). They told me priority is of course going to new production cars, but eventually they will be able to fix our old cars.
Will do, It's a minor thing for me but may help with road noise.Interesting. Let us know if you feel it helps with sound deadening in the cabin.

I can say that other than my child making the noise occur from time to time, it hasn't bothered me otherwise.
I'd be curious what this was noted as in your service order so I know what to ask for in the future. Eventually, after several calls, a tech on the phone said they are familiar with the issue I was describing and it is caused by one of about five different things. They have tightened the bolts/associated components in two contributing areas and thus far, I've been golden. Then again, I was not really hearing it with people in the back (I seldom drive with anyone) as much as flexing when pulling into/out of drive ways or making U-turns when it was sub 30 out.Since I was back at the service center today, I went ahead and brought up this issue.

I told them it sounds like a tin can when anything taps on the floor. I have no idea what they noted because Tesla never gives me a service record like other manufacturers.I'd be curious what this was noted as in your service order so I know what to ask for in the future.

Email your specific SA or just the general SC address and ask for your RO's. They will email them to you. Now, you probably can't take them as gospel because mine are usually ~80% accurate, but at least you will have a copy for your records of what they think they did/attempted...I told them it sounds like a tin can when anything taps on the floor.

I guess the material that the "flufferbot" was trying to install was needed after all.
The added insulation and filling the cavity void really deadened the sound and provided additional support for the floor.
So much for speeding up the line by eliminating the part.
