Default Rattling under acceleration near right rear wheel

Guys,

just starting to happen, when I push I hear some rattling issues, its around right rear wheel.. Its new sound, didnt hear it before and its pretty annoying

I have around 5k km only, sounds a little bit like plastic.. when i stop accelerating, sound is gone.. it doesnt matter if im accelerating from right/left curve or its on straight road, but need to really push, slow acceleration is ok

setup and everything is stock (except aero)

Roarke

Time to visit the dealer. I recommend that you go for a ride with the tech so they cant say they cant reproduce the noise.

Not sure if it's the same, but I have noticed a sound like a throw-out bearing at idle, which stays until about 3500 rpm, and then it goes away. I've had this since delivery. Has not impacted drive-ability at all.

I would take a look under the car. Maybe you hit something or not. But, take a look at the plastic aero bits and brake cooling
under the car in that area. maybe something is hanging.

I have something similar from the right rear. Sounds like a ticking. It isn't constant.

Once had this and it was simply a screw in the tire. Haven't checked my tire yet.

I had a metallic rattling sound emanating from the driver’s side rear wheel. Turn out the vacuum line for the exhaust valve came off because I didn’t push it back on far enough after testing out the exhaust without the vacuum lines attached. Reattached and all is good.
