Tesla Model 3 Rattle / Mechanical type noise

[steeze]

Hi,

I picked up my model 3 a couple weeks ago from Quebec and then had to self Isolate for 14 days once I got back in Atlantic Canada, so I was unable to drive the car until today. Today I got in the car to go get a coffee and noticed there is an annoying rattle or mechanical type noise coming from the back right, this didn't happen at all when driving the car back from Quebec. It seems to happen once I get to 40km+ most of the time, but I did hear it at ~20-30km a few times as-well.

Here are a couple videos capturing the noise:

Has anyone experienced this noise?

I have the same buzzy, ruffling sound from the rear passenger side. I have tried a million things to get rid of it and am still not sure what the source of it is

Can't hear a thing, but perhaps the seat belts or the seat back latch when you put up the seat are rattling.

sounds like a rear motor is loose

You'll need someone to drive your car while you're back there trying to isolate the source of that noise. Sounds like metal on metal... Maybe the rear seat latches? I can't tell from these videos tbh

Rattle is resolved, thank god, I was going insane.

After many hours and trying many different things in the back interior I decided to look under the car. I noticed something hanging down, pretty much in the middle rear, it ended up being a zip tie that hadn't been cut. I trimmed the tie and the noise is now gone. I'm not sure if the zip tie came loose and whatever its holding together was rattling and I tightened it which tugging on it, or if it was the long ziptie itself rattling on the bottom.

Was this poking through the aero shield on the undercarriage?
