Any quick fixes for these rattles? One is a clicking noise that occurs when riding on some uneven roads. Other is a plastic noise that occurs at very low speed.

The plastic clicking/cracking maybe the wheel covers if you have Gemini Covers....do you have aero covers?
The second one sounds exactly like all our crackling wheel covers. That first one would drive me crazy. Sounds like a rat nibbling on something in your headliner
I had a creaking sound from the passenger B pillar above the seat belt section. The SC was able to reproduce and put in more insulation to solve my issue. Also, the roof glass caused wind noise at high-way speeds, I installed the rubber wind noise reduction kit from RPM (Model Y Wind Noise Reduction Kit ($24 with 20% Off)) and my issue went away. I also adjusted the 4 hatch stops, as shown here and on YouTube, to eliminate the buffeting noise at high speeds.
A rumble from the suspension of any road not perfectly smooth is my main issue. Its sort of a infrasonic, almost an air pressure feeling. Every crack or blob of tar on the road get transmitted through the rear suspension and amplified.
Wind noise is there, but not all that different than any other car I've owned. But I did order the 2 RPM kits that fill in seals. They are not expensive and look easy to installl. We'll see how things change.

It may be more than a rumble from the road and may be your hatch buffeting as well. I have the same low frequency rumble from minor road imperfections and also significant buffeting from the rear hatch. I don't think everyone is sensitive to the extremely low frequencies as the rest of my family isn't fazed by it, but it definitely annoys me. I finally got around to looking at the hatch and found one of the plastic stoppers missing on the drivers side.
Here's what it should look like:
And here's how it looks with the piece missing:
Also, here's a great forum post, with video, that details how to adjust the hatch bumpers to get a good seal and eliminate the buffeting.

I have the same thing, same spot, going in for service on Friday and see what they say. it is very, very, very, did I mention, very annoying!!!
I adjusted the upper hatch stops after watching the video. They weren't even touching anything when closed. I need slight adjustment on the bottom, but mine will not turn. Is there a wrench needed for these?
After adjusting the upper and driving, the pressure waves were worse. I extended the stops even more and its a bit better. Maybe the bottom that I can't adjust is the key (getting them all touching evenly).
Will report back when I get my kits installed to reduce wind noise.

My MY def has that weird plastic clicking on all 4 wheels when I am going <10mph but I can only hear it when I have a window down. Mine also has some rattle somewhere on either the drivers A pillar or the drivers side dash area. I only hear it on rough roads. The one that makes me the most worried is when I drive out of a store driveway onto the street turning right, I hear a clunk in the front suspension.

I often wonder how much of what i hear now is because the car is so quiet? Would these sounds be noticeable to me if it was a gas engine?
Pretty much. My Tesla is amazingly quiet now.
My gasser had squeaks and rattles from day 1. I brought it to the dealer to get fixed multiple times. They tried, but weren't able to fix them so I lived with it. Tesla service has done better in retrospect, however, I'm the type to wrench and fix things myself when possible.
I encourage everyone to get to know your vehicle, home, computer, ...etc... and be able to fix things yourself. I asked the Tesla service center guys to show me how to do things, but they encouraged me to come in and let them handle it since the vehicle was brand new.
I had some time this weekend so I tracked-down and temporarily fixed a rattle coming from the middle rear seat buckle. A tiny victory, but it still felt great.

Anyone have a rattle coming from the Dashboard right in front of the driver? If no music/audio is playing I can hear it easily. If any audio it playing I have to listen hard but can still make it out. Would Tesla service look at this if I submit a service ticket?
I had some bad noises coming from the passenger door. I created a thread for the fix here:
