Bed Clunk

[Rippin1Gear]

foundation, late 33k vin, It sounds like an electrical contactor in the bed opening or closing with a loud hollow metal clunk. Similar to supercharging on our older models of the thermal expansion. I get out after a drive we hear the loud clunk maybe within a few minutes after exiting the CT(hasn’t timed it), it’s not on a charger. Haven’t seen any posts on this clunk… normal?

If the vault is clunkn', don't come frunkin'

Seriously tho, I believe that sound is the contactors in the HV battery. It's switching over to the 48V battery.

Made me jump the other night when I was camping in the bed. But figured it was normal.

Might be the HV contactors closing or opening. They are pretty heavy duty and do make a significant “clunk” when they operate.

My back makes that same clunk sound every morning, it's very normal.

I wouldn't exactly say that's normal...

It's a normal sound and listed in the Tesla manual as one.
