Listen to this heavy "clunk" sound after my Model Y is woken up. Normal?

Hi guys,

I was recently rear-ended and I don't know if this noise is related or not. I had the car only 400 miles before the accident and I haven't gotten used to the usual noises.

The noise is definitely not related to the lift gate, which comes to a complete stop well before the noise happens. Any ideas?

Thanks!

That is the high voltage contactor, it's completely normal. The car "turned on" the big battery so you can drive.

^^^this. Yes, it SHOULD make that noise when waking up. Seems to come from the driver's side, rear seat area, IIRC.

Yes, my Model 3 does that also
