The really stupid part is that the clevis replacement is the easiest/cheapest portion. (I think it costs about $400, while the halfshaft replacements costs about $2,500 or is it $3,500???)

@aesculus has been struggling with a similar issue and after a number of other service visits, seems have to had it resolved with an air strut replacement.
Just got my X back and I notice something different for the parts number that some other have received. According to the bulletin the clevis mount description is: CLVS ASSY,DBL ISO,LHS MTR MNT,SDU-F (1055366-00-H) which is what I got but I see some other people got this:
FRGD CLVS ASSY, DBL ISO, LHS MTR MNT, SDU-F (1055366-00-G). Does anybody know what is the difference? Is one for MS and other is for MX? Thanks

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
And have them check the front sway bar links too. Both air struts and front sway bar links had gone south on my car.
The H revision you got is the part that the TSB says to use. (Same on both the S&X.) People that have gotten the G revision are getting an old version of the part and I would think that the shudder would likely come back for them.

got mine back after a record breaking 2 days (they also replaced the farting 12v). shudder completely gone, feels almost as spirited as when i had my performance 3. it is a night and day difference and feels like a whole other car. along with the front door latch retrofit kit, this is a must have for older model Xs before the original warranty runs out.

this is the non adjusted full price bill if not under warranty

Based on posts on this thread, as well as my own experience, some service centers are not following the instructions in the service bulletin, and are installing older parts. My car got the latest clevis mount, but older half shafts.
My advice is to bring the printed service bulletin with you.

Happy, Sad. After only three weeks and 2250 miles on my new X, I recognized the birth of the shudder while driving yesterday. Glad for this website, happy to find info to bring in for service, but terribly sad and disappointed that a known issue is still being mass produced. This car was built in July 2019, a mere month ago. SMH.
Isnt that strange considered the amount of work and replaced parts all of which has to do with wheels? I'm going to ask my SA for a complementary wheel alignment as my car is in service now getting this TSB done (among yellow border UV treatment)
Wait, I thought Raven X started April 2019, so most likely you have a Raven refreshed X. Did you check if you have the lane departure warning turned on, eg. it's vibration warning not shudder?
It is odd since it requires dismantling of the suspension components. I pushed this issue with my SC and they insisted that wheel alignment was not necessary.
They installed revision D on one side of my car and revision B on the other. I asked them about this since it wasn't per the TSB. I was told that the updated clevis mount is the key to the fix and they are allowed to use older revision half-shafts.
Sent in my 2017 X100D to the SC today in Portland, OR for the Shudder TSB. My X is less than 1k away from 50k. Service tech insisted we get the shudder TSB done prior to 50K, otherwise it's a bunch of paperwork to go back to the original warranty. [I do have Extended Warranty, but he insisted it is still easier this way].
So advise to all you folks, keep you eye on your mileage / close to your 4 year anniversary.
The Portland SC ordered the Shudder TSB parts Friday last week, and had them in time for today's install, with no problem getting parts even w/ the Labor Day weekend delays. Pick up will be next Tuesday, as their shop is quite busy.
I verified, on the paperwork I signed to authorize repairs, that the half shafts are D revisions and the Clevis is H revision. Let's do this.
Lastly, big shout out to the folks at the Portland SC for supplying us with a MX P100D LOANER. Portland has always been good to make sure our loaners are Tesla's. I'm sure there are times when they cannot, but I have been very fortunate.
I don't know what is going on with other SC's, not providing Tesla loaners, but Tony at the Portland SC just rocks. Top notch!
