Like my drill sergeant said.. you don't look at the mantelpiece when you are poking the fire.. lol edited to say the inside is one of th3 nicest in any non-English high end car today, it's like a supermodel from the interior and very good from behind. Then the front.. jfc... body off baywatch, face off crimewatch..Agreed. How do you like the look of the bmw tho?

Is the 2023 Model X suspension just not refined?

Yes, I tried all ride height though my car automatically, always goes to "Low" setting. I also tried adjusting the air suspension comfort (?) but doesn't do anything. Tesla service center scheduled another appt for me to bring it back.
Sounds like I am not the only one and it is basically a model X issue. Still puzzled this specific problem, that seems to have no fix, hasn't been reported here more. It is horrible especially if one drives between 30-50 mph for an hour a day - you get these seat vibrations nonstop, to the point that, at least for me, it becomes a hassle to drive the car.

Why not try the sway bar solution and report back if it helped, it seems to have reasonable cost and diy-able?
I have a service appt this Thursday on my seat vibration issue (2nd time with this issue).
What's weird is I had my drive mode set to "Sport". While sitting at a light, I changed to "Insane" mode and the vibrations in seats were noticeably decreased. It's very noticeable but still ever so slightly there. The different drive modes must be doing something since going from Sport to Insane mode reduced seat vibrations, felt much smoother.
I'm on the edge of ordering Unplugged Performance's rear sway bars ($395) since it's not that expensive and better sway bars do really help with handling.
[Update] After today's (8/17) service appointment, no change. Tesla Service Center thought the seat vibrations were due to maybe wheel balancing issue. They rebalanced the wheels and said vibrations disappeared. But no, they are still there.
I'll have to do more research on if there is a fix for this.

Thank you for keeping us updated. I have been on vacation for a while and now just back with the car. I have scheduled a service appointment too for next week and we will see how it goes. Curious is you also have 20" wheels and if you have experimented with different tire pressures. I have tried all the way down to 37 PSI from the recommended 45, and even though it is better, it is definitely still there pretty much at any speed at this point but you feel it much less at 50+ - but then I have steering wheel vibration at 65+. It is just a rough ride with a lot of unwanted road noise at the back of the seat and steering wheel.
I think most of us had this from day one with the cars having less than 15 miles, driving it off the lot. Wouldn't wheel bearings and discs be something that could be an issue at a later time, after at least a few thousand miles?
I totally hope so since that would make it something that can be repaired! I know my wheels/tires are fine since I did road force balancing and they said they were perfect. Will also do an alignment that I haven't done yet - we will see after next week's service appointment.
In to see Rishi in Zevcentric today and hoo boy, the rear toe is well out... way too much. Look at it from the rear. Seriously, then compare the front wheel alignment. Like this from factory, like the *sugar* panel alignments. If you keep the car, get it professionally aligned at least...
Curious if the alignment (and I believe you were installing new wheels/tires?) improved things for you. Any difference?
Yes, I have 20" wheels (the standard one). I didn't play with tire pressure since if I take it to Tesla, they will be like "it might be because your tire pressure is too low." lol My vibrations are mostly in the 30~40 mph range and I don't have steering wheel (yoke) vibrations and no vibrations at 50 mph+. I've hit to 80~90mph range too to test and no vibrations there either.
[Update] Tesla Service is going to replace the halfshafts. I had missed their message in the app where they said they still felt excessive vibrations after wheel balancing and will replace the halfshafts and all the other parts associated with it. I'm waiting for them to schedule the next appointment when parts arrive. Will keep this thread updated.
