Update on the dreaded shudder: according to my SC, now there is a new and permanent fix for the problem. Finally, they figured out a new design.
MXs tend to shudder under hard acceleration when suspension is set to high. But as time passes, it starts to shudder even on regular height. It only occurs under hard acceleration (flooring the accelerator). I DOES NOT shudder when braking or slowing down, however. So your issue is likely different.I apologize, can you please clarify what shudder is being referred to here? My Model S shudders when I accelerate slightly aggressively from a low speed or from zero. And it shudders when I use the brakes to come to a stop. Is that the type of shudder your X experienced that your post refers to?
Thanks you for your attention to this.

My service center in Palm Springs a few days ago when I was discussing this with them they said he had heard they were working on a new motor mount to fix the problem. Looking forward to seeing the part number for this.
Just stopped by my SC in Portland and showed them the post of the new part numbers. They called the parts guy over to take a look at the new part numbers. I was told those are the old numbers but there is a D revision that has just come out and is hard to get. Asked my service center to get the D version of the parts needed to fix the shudder. I am hoping this is the permanent fix for half shafts. Asked if half shafts would be included in the motor and battery warranty and was told because this failed before your 50k warranty that it would be covered under motor and battery warranty
And typically in the 30 to 40mph range. I think for many people, the accelerator does not have to be “floored”, but brisk acceleration is generally needed to detect the shudder.MXs tend to shudder under hard acceleration when suspension is set to high.

My confidence that it will be affordable has been set to “very low”.I shudder to think what this will cost out of warranty.

I remember when I first the got the halfshaft replaced the first couple of months was fine and then shudder started again. I'm hoping your fix is permanent!An update on the new fix. I tested acceleration at Very High & High suspension settings, and no shudder. Before, even when the car was new, it shuddered at those heights.
I agree...Honeymoon period...hope @polymathic got a permanent fix, please report back @polymathic if it recurs.I remember when I first the got the halfshaft replaced the first couple of months was fine and then shudder started again. I'm hoping your fix is permanent!
