Lift Gate Power Strut Noise - Model X 2017 100D

[Psionic001]

My Lift gate Power Strut on the model X 2017 makes a clicking/tapping sound as it actuates. Sounds like it's not too far from failing.
Are these things user serviceable? Or throw out and replace?
Searched this site and youtube and couldn't find much.

Mine too. I had showed it to SC and they said it's normal.

@Psionic001 , I'm in the same situation. Did you find information or a solution for fixing vs. replacing these Power Struts?

Mine has sounded broken since it was new

I had a service guy out to install a CCS2 adapter in my MX so I took the chance to pepper him with questions. Apparently the strut noise is normal/common. And no need to replace it.

As an update of sorts for this I've just confirmed with Tesla that the new MX and old one share the same struts.
I tested 2 different MX today, Plaid and Long Range of the new generation and OMG their boots are whisper quiet when opened and closed.

I want to order one but I can't find a guide on replacing it so I'll ask a service tech when I see one as it would be amazing for me to replace my one that sounds like a transformer that's 50,000 years old.
