K-MTG (Captain Sunshade) - Model X

The trunk area is empty, it can't be the spoiler either. Maybe something on the inside? I took out the license plate frame but still

You need to get someone to ride with you and help pinpoint it. My number one thought is a live rattlesnake, which is going to eat your face next time you drive. So it'll be good to have that second person to take over.

All I can think of is the internal components are loose. Some piece fell off or tangling around inside the panel somewhere in the back. You won't see it unless you pull everything apart. Put on your fix list and let SC take a look at it. Good luck bud.

That is what I did, I let autopilot take over and I jumped into the trunk to film

Very frustrated to see X still has misalignment issues after all those QC.

I agree.

Damn, this takes way more skill than me holding my driver door on the freeway! lol!

II also ordered the heat shield for the top of the panoramic windshield and skylights on the FWD.

What is the heat shield?

I got some photos in, I had trouble uploading it to the forum so I uploaded it to my old Wordpress site: Tesla Model X - Photos

Issues I noticed so far:

1. The tint messed up the front driver & passenger door calibration, the service center does not have an appointment available for 3 weeks! Seriously!! Can I just take my car and walk-in, it should be a 4 minute process?

2. The passenger FWD is slightly out of alignment and seals are popping out, no functionality issues.

3. Heard some rattling noise in the trunk at highway speeds, not sure what the issue is but I took out the license plate bracket hopefully that will solve the issues.

4. Is there suppose to be a cable under the drivers seat?

I will be posting more photos and videos down the line.

The tint is 10% everywhere except for the front driver and passenger which is 30%. It is ceramic

Good looking car. It seems they have not addressed the trunk fit issues and more. Looks like it needs to be wider to match panel curve. It seems their door seals are doomed for failure. Too many small curves & contour changes to cause air leaks. I get noise through the door which changes every time I open and close the door. I'm concerned about what the car will sound like with 30,000 miles and more. I do know the FWD doors will always be cool! It's safe to say no other car will ever have FWD's. Get them while you can!

This rattling noise is very annoying at highway speeds, anyone else have a similar issue? I think it is coming from the rear hatch but I can't identify the source. (TURN UP THE VOLUME)

Do you have the tow package? Maybe something hanging inside that well area underneath that covers the tow parts. Just throwing out ideas.

 

[SSD420]

Maybe a service tech left his redbull in your car. Afterall redbull gives you (falcon) wings (doors) !

It totally sounds like a pop can (yes I'm Canadian and I say pop) rattling around.

I have the accessory hitch but they gave me the tow thing which is in the frunk

Take the hitch cover off and look inside for something loose underneath. Sounds like wind is getting inside that panel and something is loose.

I would pull on the spoiler, trunk, trim, and everything else back there to see if something is loose.

There will be a hidden SUNSHADE rattling to come out

 

[KaiserSoze]

While I realize your spoiler doesn't adjust, it could still squeak depending on how the stanchions are affixed, I suppose. The SC will no doubt sort it out.

Wait a minute! Has anyone seen Elon lately!?

 

[K-MTG]

I have trouble opening the 3rd row seat, how am I suppose to open it? Push the button?

 

[systemcrashed]

Push the button wait until the noise stops then press down before lifting up.

Is this metal thing suppose to be their?

Sorry could not figure where the metal piece is in the zoomed out pic but it certainly doesn't seem right.
To me it looks like a panel/trim fitting metal bracket/clasp.
