Grinding and Clunking during Acceleration

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
We recently bought a 2018 Model X. Loving it, but over the last couple of weeks we are getting a horrible grinding and clunking sound seemingly coming from the rear of the car when we accelerate hard. With very slow acceleration it doesn't happen. Had the car for about 2 months and this wasn't happening at first, started a couple weeks ago and seems to be getting worse. Anyone seen this? Going to make a service request tomorrow.
 
You shouldn't have run over your wife :eek:
I like Jboy suggestion. What happens in low suspension? Interesting that you say it sounds to come from the rear. The typical acceleration shutter is in the front, so maybe something different. Actually I thought this was remedied in newer models.
