Just got my X back and wanted to update the thread.
The SC eliminated most of my shudder by removing (at no cost) the foam inside my tires. As many of you know, various tires (not just the Continentals) have foam inside them to reduce road noise. Apparently Tesla is aware that this foam comes loose and moves around.
This explains why I was having worse shudder at times and hardly any at other times (at highway speeds). It also virtually eliminated my acceleration shudder. The SC claims that Tesla is no longer fixing the acceleration problem until they come up with a permanent solution (I can't verify this, just reporting what I was told). They said any new parts numbers are not related to the shudder and that they currently have no solution (which I think is a horrible response).
Anyway, once they removed the foam, it took care of most of my problem. I would suggest others explore this (partial) solution.
