I don't think so.He said it would click when jacked up. that means no torque on the axle nuts and washers. It sounds more to me like what he needs are new brake hardware kits, the click being slack being taken up as the brake pads shift position with the forward and reverse rotation of the wheel.
It's a single geared system attached to electric motors. There isn't any "engage or disengage" the drive and there shouldn't be any play in it let alone enough to make a click or thunk. If you are getting clicks and/or thunks out of your drivetrain, something is worn or out of spec and you really need to get it checked and fixed.
I don't understand. There are planetary gears, a multi-geared differential, and other moving components within the drive, as well as clutch packs. I don't think I've ever seen a differential with zero lash. What do you mean by a "single geared system?"
Perfectly explained! It's amazing how the old didactic videos are so much easy to understand than most current, CGI-made "how it works" techno babble.
Sorry--I know it sounds like I'm picking a fight here, but I'm anticipating a difficult time with the dealership and I need to be able to explain what's going on with the car. I anticipate their saying "that's normal." I'm hoping I can say, with authority, "No, it's not normal because...." and have a good answer. If I say "because it's a single geared system" they'll probably tell me that I'm wrong. If I'm able to explain exactly what normal should be, and what they're listening for in the test drive that's abnormal, I'll have an easier time convincing them to do the warranty work.
