My 2016 Model X has started making this noise recently. When I took the video linked above, it was immediately after I unplugged the car and it went on for 1-2 minutes. It sounds like it is coming from the passenger side front portion of the car.

What is it? Will I have to replace it with a 2022 fully loaded Model X Plaid now?

Thanks!

Wow no one has seen this before?

Sounds like an air compressor. My 2016 occasionally makes the same sound. Cars with air suspensions eventually need expensive repairs. You're at six years old. Start setting money aside now.

Yeah, forgot she had the air suspension. You're probably right. Didn't even think about that.

Heck air suspension or not, my 2013 Model S (coil suspension) that I recently sold had pretty much all of the front suspension bits replaced in 2020 and 2021. They were creaking like a 2004 Toyota Corolla!

Just put mine in the shop and this was one of the issues they were going to look at. I’ll let you know when I get it back in the next few days.

My 2020 X did that same noise. I took it in multiple times and was told it’s “normal.” They lifted the car and did a whole compressor system leak test and checked for error codes and nothing came up. Sure doesn’t sound normal to me though.
