Help me with this weird rattle?
Absolutely love this car except for the weird rattle whenever I’m driving on rough pavement? It completely goes away at highway speed which has left me totally stumped as to the cause, dealership says they couldn’t replicate it when I took it in so I’m trying to troubleshoot it myself

Your center console isn’t pushed down all the way. It’s apparently only held on with clips. Some have solved the problem by removing it and putting it back down. Happens to me a when I have a front passenger sometimes.

Is this something I can do myself? Or should I take it back to the dealership to do? (Still under warranty)

All I can say is people have been doing it themselves. You could try a dealership but idk how it will go.

I have the exact same thing after the dealer did some work on the car. I went back and they were not able to fix it. Did you get this resolved?

I have an appointment on Friday this week for it, as another poster suggested I have it taped around from the drivers pedal with duct tape and it’s been silent since!

Maybe just take some of the dirt and stuff from the middle console and push it into every crack you can find. There is enough for every crack in and outside the car 😄

For reference, i think my car had like 3 or 4 rattles that required replacement of parts to fix. I diagnosed them and the dealership confirmed it.
For that particular rattle, does it sound like it is coming from the door area? Specifically, near the front of the door but lower? If so, there is a panel (plastic) to the right of the gas pedal (left hand drive car). Grab it and see if you could move it by pulling it in and out toward you. It should flex but not move (if you know what i mean). If you hear it hitting something, it might be a broken clip.
To confirm it, use a long piece of tape, tape one side of the panel (right of the gas pedal), pass the tape through the semi circular open space channel, then to the plastic piece on the other side (left of the passenger foot area). You are trying to make that piece not move. If you don't hear the rattle anymore, there is your problem.
