We have a 2020 Model X Long Range Plus with 62000 miles. Today, we had a loud rattle to begin while driving. It sounds like some kind of bracket or stabilizer bars that are loose or a suspension issue. Only rattles when we hit small bumps in the road or on gravel driveway. Any advice or anyone to experience this? I am new to the forum. We like our car when it works properly. Just have never owned a car we had to take in this many times in the past two years.
We have had this car in SC 8 times.
First for shudder noise from front drivetrain, they replaced with new components.
Second time for noise from control arms in front. They replaced them.
Third time for steering controls making squeaking sound and was replaced with a whole new steering assembly.
Fourth time for uneven tire wear in back and was told I had to keep car in standard height mode to prevent this. I was also told to keep car in low mode to prevent wear on drive shafts I just replaced at 20,000. I learned of intuitive camber arms and had them installed on the back of the car at a local non Tesla service center, tires have worn evenly for the last 15,000 miles and 2/3 of the tread is still good.
Fifth time for rattle under driver seat. A component for the safety restraint system was loose and corrected.
Sixth time for rattle of from the front door speaker cover grills
Seventh time for clicking sound while driving slowly and turning either direction. Still not resolved.
Eighth time for back seats coming apart on the back when folded down.
I have not included the SC visits for alignment of tires.
