Our 2016 Model X P90DL is in shop right now for it's 3rd. Possibly 4th Half shaft depending on if other side is any good after a month of being replaced. They just seem unable to handle the massive instant torque. Right now it just seem they are running through current inventory before they start putting out some revised half shaft that can handle the power.
Also had them replaced on my 2016 Model S P90DL as they started doing it to on hard accelerate. They on the other hand last 20K before showing signs of it. Wasn't to bad either but I use my car at EV events to show prospective buyers. You can't have issue on a car your trying to convince someone to invest into.
It should get progressively worst with raising suspension too. If you want to get it to happen raise suspension level by level to see how bad yours is (Not saying go into High or very High as full accelerate on that level is not smart). Also shaft will get so bad to the point where they stop doing it. Yet just cause it not doing it anymore doesn't mean you are in the clear. Most likely the opposite.
