After running across the thread that discusses the loose nuts on the control arm ball joints, I decided to inspect mine. The good news is that the control arm lock nuts appear to be fine.. the bad news is that the nut on the passenger side tie rod was completely loose! This makes me wonder what else could be loose. When I checked the driver's side, I noticed that the green safety paint is not visible on the nut where it should be.
I happen to already have a SC appointment this coming Monday to look into a clunking noise that's coming from the front end somewhere, which can be heard when below 10mph on a bumpy road. It sounds like something else is loose on the front end, besides the nut on the tie rod. At higher speeds, I can't notice it. After finding this loose nut, I've requested a thorough inspection of the entire front suspension/steering assembly.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this with the forum since I find this somewhat concerning as a new Tesla owner. I've already shared the pictures with my SA and am confident that they will address this appropriately.
