Interestingly, mine was a different fix at the SC today despite making a very similar sound. Creaking / clicking was coming from the speaker grille near the windshield. Confirmed the fix resolved the noise.

Thanks for the useful information! I also have a similar noise. Do you know where to get a service bulletin for this problem, or at least its number?
I have this exact issue with the driver side 3rd row seat. Did you get this resolved? I’m curious if it’s something I can resolve myself.
All these noise issues is making me reconsider my on order MX and look at the Merc EQS. But the price difference is a bit significant for a slower, less range suv and the Merc. site doesn’t have tow capacity available. Is the refreshed MX noises then the MS and MY? These two I test drove as MX was not available and I thought the MS was very quiet and well put together but sit much to low for us.

Model X with 20" rims interior noise sits around 62-67db at 60mph on the highway for me. That is exactly the same as my F150 truck. The only real noise you hear is some slight road noise, so if you drive on a bad road it will get louder. I don't hear any wind noise unless it is really windy outside.
IMO, the interior noise level is very quiet. Perfectly fine sitting with no radio, but with the radio on at a reasonable volume you'd never even hear the highway.
Sorry for replying so late. I had these exact rattles in my 2022. Tesla did address by fixing two things: 1) triangular window in 3rd row was replaced, 2) cushioning material was added inside trim on FWD and alignment of FWD was adjusted. There’s still a ton of rattles, but those two fixes took care of the main ones.
Felt tape moslty fixed my wind noise issue on passenger side. I took multiple service center trips and just about lost my mind, and then eventually narrowed down the sounds and used a bunch of felt tape and it really helped.
I had the same issue and apparently it was the battery skid plate thing underneath.
“Noted clicking noise on test drive while turning steering yoke back and forth. Found noise to be from battery brashbar cover. Dirt had built up inside causing excessive noise. Removed both cover/plates and cleaned. Lubed components and re secured both and torqued down. Test drove to verify noise concern is no longer present.”
No charge.
i wanted to say thanks for posting this! Fixed my creaking on my 2019! My SC is useless, and I’ll have to deal with keeping these towels there because they won’t fix this noise even if they know about it. Most likely they’ll end up breaking something and causing and issue elsewhere. So, this works for me.
Just picked up my 2022 X from service center. They re-welded this same joint. Noise / rattle no longer present.
Adding to the list of cracking customers. For me - it's coming from the top center of the windshield when I drive on uneven / elevated surface. Mostly it's from the top center, occasionally it's on the left driver side pillar. Having heard glass crack before, I'm worried this is a precursor to a larger windshield issue.
I just opened a service request (I have a 2022 Tesla) and they want to charge me $160 to fix something on the suspension. Ok I can believe that the suspension may be shifting the car in a wrong way - but shouldn't this be covered by warranty? I'm arguing back but seeing what others may have experienced.

Had a very similar negative experience at the Santa Clara, CA service center. They seemed to have changed some internal policy about what must be customer pay.
All of my rattle noise concerns needed to be customer pay
Loose dangling wiring clip? Customer pay to properly attach it
Weatherstripping losing adhesive and coming apart? Customer pay

They tried this with me on my S Plaid since it was over a year old, but I pushed back, and they covered it. They told me rattles were only covered in the first year.
Nothing new here, that’s Tesla! you will get better customer service from a drug dealerAdding to the list of cracking customers.
