Rattling noise on fast acceleration on Model S 2018 75D

I recently bought a Model S from a reseller in Finland. Recently, I started to get this rattling noise for a few seconds when I accelerated fast. I have also added the audio clip of the noise. The sound is from the 4th second to the 7th second in the audio clip. But when I drove gently, there was no such noise in the cabin.

Does anyone have a similar sound in your car? Can someone help me with what could be the issue so that I can contact my seller (still the 6-month warranty left) for the fix?

Sounds like worn cv joints. Fairly common. You can try turning the steering wheel all the way to the right and driving around for a few full circles. Do the same to the left. This sometimes redistributes the grease in the cv joints.
 
It could just be acceleration shudder, common for S/X
Hard to hear on ur clip but ck other youtube videos and see if it matches urs
Its not necessarily a sign of worn axles, they all do this to some extent
If on light acceleration u hear nothing then it most likely the issue...
