Strange noise when my new 2021 Model S locks and unlocks

[bankrupt1]

My new 2021 Model S makes a crazy noise, like a moose call when locked and unlocked. The sound seems to come from the trunk. Mobile service was unable to fix. Anyone else have this issue ?

Take it to service center. They should fix it. Most of the Mobil techs who come out are clueless. This one time this mobile service guy came and told me oh I do stuff for Tesla on side. I can go sound barriers on your doors for you for 200bucks ‍

OP, did you ever figure out what was causing the noise? My '20 MSLR+ is making the same sound that you described. I've never heard a moose call, but like you, I would imagine it sounds just like when I lock and unlock my doors! Sounds like a rear door, or hatch mechanism. I'm out of warranty so I'd like to try and resolve it myself.

Got an audio clip of the sound? I've found the handles can dry out a tad and get a little squeaky at times. Some silicon lubricant spray around the edges fixes it.

Thanks for the reply. Here is a link to the video I took with the sound. It's funny because it sounds exactly as the OP described.

It’s a selectable sound. Just pick a different sound. You have the goat sound selected. There are about a dozen sounds to choose from. Goat is default.

Can you get out of the car and figure out which lock/handle is the origin of the sound?

I didn't think that pre-facelift Model S cars has the boom box functionality to change lock sounds. I'll certainly check the car when I get home to investigate. That would certainly be a simple resolution!

I also don’t think the sounds occur when you unlock the car. Only when it locks.

So it's definitely coming from the hatch. Seems to be the lock mechanism. My car is an early 2020 build and does not have the boom box feature, so it's not an adjustable lock sound. I tried a little lube in the hatch lock mechanism with no luck. I suppose I'll make an appt with Tesla. I'll keep this thread updated with what they say in case anyone else has a similar issue.
