Grinding/Rattling noise on my model X

UPDATE: just got my Model X back from the service center. Thanks to this post, they found the half - shafts as a cause of my front rattling noise, and had them pro-actively ordered and replaced. The car feels much better when accelerating. Shout out to the Paramus, NJ service center. Top notch customer service.

I have the exact same sound on my Model X and tesla service center failed to diagnose and fix it four times by now.
Will try to talk with service center later to get this fixed.

The 1/2 shaft replacement will fix the problem for a while but it will eventually come back. I've had 3 sets of 1/2 shafts now. Tesla keeps trying to redesign them and each set has lasted longer than the previous revisions. The sound/shudder is usually worse when the car and temperature outside are cold.
