Tesla, not TSLA!
I did this for the first 3 cv shaft replacements. Put it into auto lowering to lowest at all speeds. Only ever raised to to get over specific speed bumps and curbs and canceled all auto saved height geo locations.
Made no difference. The issue came back every time....until I lowered the car ONE MORE INCH with lowering links 50 miles after the very last cv shaft replacement....which has now been 14K miles and not a hint of the issue returning.
This is very interesting. It seems that perhaps the CV joints are a bit too close to their maximum angle at standard height. The creaking probably has to do with the front end lifting on hard acceleration bringing the CV joint further out of alignment. The real fix is probably to lower the front motor a bit to correct the angle of the half shaft. In the ICE world, you would fix this with redesigned motor mounts which lower the motor and trans-axle. I wonder if there is something that prevents this solution in the Model S/X?
Have there been any documented CV joint failures related to this issue?
