Did you get this resolved? I had exact same noise and it was driving me crazy because it started happening at all speeds. Just had my drive unit replaced like WSea and my drives are so much more enjoyable now cuz the noise is completely gone!
My replacement is performing well. They said it would also resolve my slower speed clunky front suspension. It didn’t think it did at least initially. The last few weeks it seems quieter. Have no idea why except maybe warmer temps

Ah!, now it makes sense, I couldn't figure out why the suspension feels so much quieter and smoother now. I thought they might have tightened up something else unrelated to the fix. I don't off-road, so I'm just judging from going over speed bumps and potholes.

Yes - they replaced the front drive unit. Much quieter now.

However, I do have a subtle but constant hum at highway speeds (70-75 mph). Not too worried about it but will have them look at next SC visit.

For me, after the fix, at high speeds (above 60), the wind noise drowns out everything.

I thought that whiny noise was the Bosch motors....mine does this as well. it sounds like a jet engine coming up to speed. I don't get any clunks.

Mine clunks at each wheel when transition from power to regen and back. Has to be splines or play developing in each gear drive assembly. But for me service center visits are 5 hour round trips so just going to wait till it all blows apart(or maybe the tonneu fix finally develops...haha), since last trip they said it was "normal".
