Tesla Motors Club

Hi all - I have a potential problem with my 2020 Model 3 I was hoping to get some thoughts on.

Whenever I return to my car after leaving it parked overnight (or a prolonged period of time), the car often makes a loud, thumping noise when I move off in Drive mode. It sounds almost like the handbrake is being disengaged and is being applied overly tight. Nonetheless the sound is disconcerting as the car also judders slightly whenever it happens.

Has anyone else come across this? I’m debating taking it in for service but not sure how widespread this is.
