That has been going around for a while. The brace(s) in question seems to only transmit the sound to the cabin and are not the actual source of the sound according to others that have looked into it.

I don't have twitter but maybe Mr. Musk could answer if our cars should make that noise from the videos?
I escalated my case via MyTesla, which then again was sent to SC without answer for a week now. And a general reply that "sounds can come from many places, we know nothing of a fleet wide problem."

I have Model S 75D, Dec 2017 with this exact problem, been to 2 SC in socal, and been told to wait for the engineering team to fix it. The techs told me they been chasing this rattle noise for over a year without any solutions.
Hello, thanks for the info. The popping sound is a rattle in the dashboard. I have this sound since the Last time the car was in the SC to make some audio recordings (probably the removed parts of the dashboard). I think the popping sound can be fixed but I want to have a solution for the main issue. SC keeps telling its the front suspension... After writing letters and emails to Tesla Belgium (Without response so far) It's time we go a step further .... Very frustrating .....

Yep got it, last short time(seconds) after being parked as suspension goes to normal and then it goes away. Been that way since pretty much new and I ignore it. 20,000 miles April 2016 build 75D.

I just received a call from the Tesla escalation team about the issue. She told me that they are now sending out engineers/techs to meet with owners and further examine cars in the field.

I think I have the same issue on my car. Facelift AP1 90D with air suspension delivered late December 2016. Built in August/September 2016. It's most noticeable when driving below 50 kph on snow with washboard roughness since tire nose is low in those cases.
My closest service center is Kokstad near Bergen, Norway. Since they don't answer phone calls and emails and have tons of cars with more important issues to fix, I haven't contacted them with this issue.

don't accept that response. its not, and it was never there on my previous S, had a 2015 90D prior and it was silent.

Technically speaking, they are not wrong. It's still a problem that needs to be fixed though. You should escalate the issue through your My Tesla account on the Tesla.com site.
Just had my visit with the service ranger about this noise...
He seemed to suggest a correlation with AP2.5 cars. That is, the steering rack had a change at that time. He has one other car in his service pool that shows this, a 227xxx build. He's replaced everything else but the steering rack on that car and that's next. He's ordered a rack (hard to get) and front struts for mine but will wait until his other client's car shows that a rack fixes the issue.
Interestingly the day before we got temps into the 70's and the noise was very much reduced. Anyone else notice a temperature dependence?
He also said that the change over from Continental to Firestone struts is a good thing. Most of the Continental struts develop leaks.

Mine is an AP1 car and I have already had the rack replaced with no change. On mine, the warmer it is, the louder it is.
