    I have a long range Raven X (Sep 2019). I'm getting the acceleration noise with the suspension on normal height and low, less on "very low", but still there. Started out only happening on first few drives of the day. Summer though, not cold weather. It's now happening all the time. On moderate acceleration up or down-hill. It's a "clunk-clunk-clunk" type of noise sometimes a "grind", all from the front-end.

    It sounds like you are experiencing the same concern. I took my Model X back in for service last week and they were able to resolve the issue by replacing LH, and RH (2nd generation) Front Drive Unit Halfshafts. Good luck!

    Hey, you're right. Unrelated, I had a sudden onset of extremely squeaky suspension. Service guys said it was a seized bearing on the upper LH front control arm (FR UPR ARM ASSY LH 1027322-00-D). While it was in service they diagnosed (finally), my clunk/grind on moderate acceleration from the front end. And yes, half-shafts definitely, both sides. Having them replaced soon. Cheers

    I have a long range model X built in November 2020, and it makes the same noise. Dissapointing.....

    I've got a new tri-motor Plaid Model X on order. Let's hope they've figured it out with the new version, but I'm not holding my breath.
