Had our R1S since March. Never heard this sound until the last few weeks maybe?

No audio or video file uploaded.

Best guess is to undock camp speaker and plug into a USB-C wall charger. Also, reset camp speaker after charging.

You should open a ticket and attach the video.
It could be nothing - but it also sounds a little like a bearing failing in whatever motor that is that is running.

Video came through now even if quoting it didn't work right.

Sounds like the A/C compressor, but something is wrong with it. Anything on the dashboard?

Nothing. It's only on for about 5-10 minutes and then it stops. You thinking that something is up with the "recharge" or whatever its called of the compressor?

Sounds like the AC compressor. I’ve heard this on my truck while it was preconditioning. Were you about to head to a fast charger?

Negative. Just plugged in upon arrival at home.

My truck does the same thing for a couple minutes sometimes. Pretty normal (I hope).

That's the AC/Compressor to my ears :) There's a Service bulleting that relocates some brackets and components that HEAVILY reduces that noise to a very very very comfortable level. I had it done to my R1T about 45 days ago and now my R1T is quieter than my wife's Tesla from the outside :)

Your profile says Seattle - was it particularly cold? It can run HVAC to heat up the battery for better charging.

I think it was around 50 degrees, so not particularly cold. I'll keep an eye on the temp moving forward to see if it coincides with the noise.
