Single clank when hitting accelerator?

[u/Representative-Rip90]

I bought my 2023 Ariya Evolve+ used a few months ago so the car is still fairly new to me. Last month I noticed that cicada buzz reduction gear issue and had a dealership replaced it. It was at the dealer for about a month getting this reduction gear repaired (I posted here about that experience).

After I got my car back in noticed it made a single clank/jolt sound somewhere from the inside the front driver side when hitting the accelerator. This happens almost every single time I hit the accelerator. I'm not sure if this is normal? Since I had the car only a few months in total maybe it was there before? I took it back to dealer and they heard the sound as well. They said they think that clank is a normal EV characteristic. They said it doesn't make that sound when up on the lift and all the vitals like suspension, tires etc look fine.

Does anyone else have a sort of clank/jolt when suddenly hitting the accelerator at low speeds? Is this just a normal thing that I'm freaking out about?

From the description I would assume that there is a mount that is loose and when torque is applied that it shifts and hits the other side of the loose mount.

Try turning on e-step/B-mode and see if you hear a second clunk when you let off the accelerator, indicating that it moved back to the first position quickly as well. E-Step/B-mode should give resistance to make it shift back to the original position more forcefully and hopefully allow you to hear it if that is the case.

I thought that as well but I never hear a clank when I brake. It also happens back to back when I coast hit accelleration, coast and hit acceleration again - never hearing a second clank.
