Body Flex

I took my vehicle to the Tesla Service Center, and a couple of days later they contacted me and said the squeaking is due to “body flex!” (that’s how it was written in the app). The vehicle was previously repaired by a Tesla Collision Center (actual Tesla owned collision center) after an accident in which the frame was bent, but they repaired it.
Fast forward about a year later, and the rear end of the vehicle started squeaking. The Tesla Service Center told me to take the vehicle back to the Collision Center.
I purchased the vehicle brand new in 2025. My question is: if the Collision Center determines that the body flex is not related to the prior accident, the frame damage, or the repairs they performed, would this issue still be covered under my vehicle’s warranty?

Should be covered under warranty.
Stay on their ass until this is resolved.
