I've been derattling a July 2020 built Model X and I thought it might help others to share some of the sources of rattles that I've found. Generally, every area of the car has something that could cause a noise. So, behind glovebox, inside all the door cards, under all the seats, in the rear boot trim etc.
Under the seat is mostly loose cables. The rear seats had a very rattley PCB in a case. The dash and door cards mostly have labels and loose bits of tape as well as unsecured wires. I've annotated some pictures when I remebered to take photos. The good news is, once you remove all of the excess labels, loose bits of tape, wrap every loose wire in cloth tape etc, it really does make a big difference to the amount of noises coming from the car itself.
Of particular note, one of the bolts that secures a front electric window access panel was entirely missing, and one of the rear Falcon wing doors had a loose nut inside the window area of the door.
