The other possibility of being confronted with a muffled exhaust noise on Tesla Model Y is to have a part of the exhaust system that has dislocated because of vibrations for example. In fact some junctions of the different parts of the pot can loosen with time and cause an exhaust gas leak in places not intended for this purpose. These fumes will then produce a loud noise.
