Has anybody had this fix and it lasted more than a few weeks? Seems the grease really is what solves the sound, but doesn't last, so comes back.

Two times theyāve called it normal. Iāll just wait till something breaks I guess.i describe it as creaking. i suppose you could call it a clink/clunk. not sure if tick/tock is the same or not...
that must be super frustrating to try to address it multiple times, even after the customer satisfaction campaign. yikes. do you have another service appointment scheduled?
if i get the truck back with no fix or "within normal tolerances" i'll just have to give it more time and see. im pretty picky about noises so if it drives me crazy i'll likely open another ticket.
I drove from Austin SC to home and it was already doing it againā¦lasted 60 miles.Has anybody had this fix and it lasted more than a few weeks? Seems the grease really is what solves the sound, but doesn't last, so comes back.
Its definitely a wear thing....Tech drove one with me at the Austin SC with 3k miles....barely noticeable....I drove another with service manager with 7k miles...a little worse....and then mine with 8k just sounds not right....and they say normal.10k miles here. I had very loud creaking previously that was fixed at the SC. This was prior to the most recent satisfaction washer campaign, but I think they did something in the front only. I think they added a washer to the front.
My rear wheels now have distinctive tock/clunk sounds. I can modulate the sound with the throttle at low speeds. Tick tock tick tock. If I put the truck in conserve mode, I donāt hear the tocks, so I can at least isolate the very distinct sounds to the rear.
This seems to have started around 8k. Itās possible Iāve always had it and it was masked by the creaking. But it seems to be getting worse.
It sounds like they are automatically adding the campaign stuff to repair orders for other issues based on my current service appointment that's taking far too long.10k miles here.

What is your experience with Austin SC? I am in Austin as well and am dreading bringing it in for tickets. First EV here and Iām hoping itās better than the previous service departments Iāve dealt with my previous gasser.Its definitely a wear thing....Tech drove one with me at the Austin SC with 3k miles....barely noticeable....I drove another with service manager with 7k miles...a little worse....and then mine with 8k just sounds not right....and they say normal.
Iām in SA and have driven up there several times. Nice guys and do good work so far but think they are tired of me talking about my tick tock issues. LolWhat is your experience with Austin SC?

Oh waitā¦YOUāRE tick tock guy?????Iām in SA and have driven up there several times. Nice guys and do good work so far but think they are tired of me talking about my tick tock issues. Lol
Kidding btw lol. I heard a little rotational click yesterday coming home from work at low speed only. This morning it wasnāt there but I drove in APM instead of conserve so maybe it was from the disconnect of the rear motors. Iām still learning this thing.Iām in SA and have driven up there several times. Nice guys and do good work so far but think they are tired of me talking about my tick tock issues. Lol
One of manyā¦Oh waitā¦YOUāRE tick tock guy?????
Oh my. That sounds awful.Well, this is the worst itās soundedā¦this is after lubing, replacing shaft on drivers side, and washer campaign.
