By "fix it" I mean did the sound go away after they replaced the drive shafts???

That is exactly the same noise at same acceleration that I get. Identical. Was Tesla able to fix it???

Then why does the noise diminish significantly after a few miles? If I park the car for a few minutes then do hard acceleration the noise is back. First hard acceleration is the loudest like in my video. Second time much less. Third time nearly absent. Park for ten minutes and repeat.

Not the whirring. The metalic clunk clunk clunk. I can even feel a bit of throbbing to the sound thru the gas pedal.

I bought at a new P85D on June 25, 2015. I absolutely love this car. The car has been perfect accept for a very nasty noise on acceleration. The noise is intermittent but getting worse. It is definitely getting much louder. It sounds mechanical and coming from the front of the car. It is...

Good advice for us cold weather drivers. But 1-2 hours of cabin preheating. Isn't that a bit long? It should be plenty toasting at half an hour even when it's subzero outside.

I have a P85D on order for "Late June delivery". So excited. Reading these TMC posts have taught me a lot. I too plan to leave the Trip B odometer untouched and watch my lifetime wh/mi average. My Tesla salesman gave me a hint for improving range on road trips in cold weather. As...
