No solution I guess. Had replaced the half shafts. I have stopped sudden acceleration. Worrisome as it's quite noisy and annoying as well.

I had the same issues (stuttering), and similar "its normal" answer.
Since I now started hearing clomps on acceleration, I asked them to look at these, they changed rigth and left axles.
Stuttering is now gone. Still a light stomp noise when I have too much spirit while driving.
Shudder during acceleration is different than shudder at speed, what you are describing sucks, but with previous cars, I've had tire places tell me that tires are balanced for something like speeds up to 50 MPH and they can't do anything to fix balance vibrations at higher speeds.I have a 2017 last day of the year MX vin 79xxx with 20,000 miles on it. I just started to have a bad shudder all over the car. It started last week at speeds over 45mph. I took it to my local tire shop Les Schwab in Portland Oregon area. They said it was a tire that had a “hard rubber area” that made the tire no longer round. I have had over 50 cars in my life and I have never heard this one... So I went to Tesla and purchased a new front passenger tire, and had LS install the new tire. I drove away and everything seemed OK no shudder at 45mph. However when i got onto the freeway and hit above 70 the car started to shake again. At speeds of 85 the car is dangerously unsafe, shaking so hard it felt like the tires were coming off the ground. I drive my car in SoCal in the winters where we go easily 80+ on i15 outside Palm Springs. So I need to get this fixed. I am taking the MX to the Portland Service Center on friday of this week. I will let you know what they say...
In the past I have had small amounts of shudder at extreme acceleration with my ride height set at low. This is totally different. The car is a little scary to drive over 65 now... totally unsafe over 80mph.
So far Tesla has been great at fixing any issue I have had. I hope they can fix this one. Reading the post, it does not give me a good feeling...
Thanks

Actually, in the scenario I described, the tires were road force balanced "to the tightest tolerance." Also, I don't know if it's true of all Tesla service centers, but I believe my service center told me that they do "road force" balance.Find a place that will do "road force" balance, around here it cost about $20 per tire.

So i broke down a purchased all new tires due to the shudder. When we removed the tire from the wheel. The foam inside the tires were loose. One was balled up inside the tire.
Tesla service center said it a Perrelli problem. Sucks i had great tire tread on the tires like 5-6 /32”. Only worn 2-3/32”.
Anybody have any issues like this?
