I've read postings of noise during acceleration and slowing down but not for the Model. Y. I've heard people say it's the rear seat belt bucket, but not in my case. Well my new Model Y (3 months old) started making this clunking sound in the right rear seat belt area. It only happens when there's enough acceleration and deceleration forces, otherwise on turns, curbs etc, no noise. it's a one time "chunk" and then no further noise. When slowing down, same one time "clunk" noise as if whatever moved, moved back to its original position. I took my car into Tesla for servicing and they suggested my rear right door pillar welding needed to be fixed by a third party body shop (Tesla will cover cost). They showed me location along the spot welding points where they believe there is corrosion occurring, but layers of metal isn't moving or did show signs of paint fracture where they think there may be movement. Bigger point is, I don't think fixing a surface corrosion in that area will fix the noise issue and I don't want the idea of my new Model Y sitting in a body fender shop if I can avoid it. Did anyone experience this similar noise as described in their rear passenger Model Y?
thanks all!
