Drive Unit Fluttering/Pulsating Noise

[GermanDude]

I noticed from day one a very annoying "fluttering" or pulsating noise that's constant between 45 and 55mph during acceleration and regen. It does not get better or worse over time. It will disappear when just coasting (neither accelerating or regen).

I searched all over the forum to find a matching noise, but it does not seem like anyone has this issue?

Service center says it's an issue, but there is not a fix for it. They said it's coming from the drive unit and if they replace it, it's not guaranteed to be fixed.

Anyone else with a similar noise or can point me to a thread that has this noise?

Any help is appreciated.

I've had the same noise from day one - service says it is "normal" - which of course doesn't mean "not annoying". Both inverters have been replaced so sound is coming from Drive Unit - which I've confirmed with ChassisEars2.

It is my #1 annoyance with the truck - and leads my reasons for thinking about changing to another vehicle. My complaint is that WTF was tesla testing all those years while I was waiting for my truck and how did this not come up?

Now I turn the radio up. If it wasn't for FSD I'd have sold the truck already.
