My 03/2018 X has this rattle. It’s usually more prominent when car has not warmed up and at low speed. It’s driving me nuts. Have an appointment next week to get this checked out.

Thanks outie. Sorry I didn't see your previous post. I thought I noticed the rattle when I drove it home from delivery but I was so engrossed in driving and playing music I thought it was just some tire noise. I assume your 2016 X didn't have the R R R R A A A T T L L L E E E .
As others have noted here, I hope this is NOT a safety issue.
My 2016 had a lot of noises as well, but none of them compares to this R R R R A A A T T L L L E E E on my 2018.
Hi,
I just got the car back yesterday. They fixed a few smaller issues and also a bigger one (replaced front drive shafts as there was a strange noise/shake when accelerating with high suspension). With regards to our rattle issue, this is what the invoice said:
"isolated crossbars, checked toolbox still no permanent solution for this issue."
With the insulation the noise is a little bit less noticeable, but still very much there.
When I asked about a permanent fix, the engineer had no clue and said I would just have to wait... Very frustrating!
Rgds,

Here is the video of my 'rattle'
I like the idea of a poll very much.
I wrote a letter to the managing director of Tesla Belgium with registered mail, but I haven't heard anything back. I assume that customers are not that important once they bougth the car .. :-(
Keep you guys posted

Mine has been doing it for 20,000 miles (or more). I really doubt it is a safety issue though that does not make it any less annoying...

My rack was replaced with no noticeable change in the sound.

Do YOU recognize the popping sound, besides your rattle? I believe you have two different problems if you don't know what that is sounds to me to be the steering gear. AND steering rack

I have listened to several of these videos and layered them on top of each other, very interesting and unique sounds. It really gets interesting when listening with air pods. Also have you done any recordings from the frunk?

OK, update from my side.
I went to the local SC yesterday for a creaking noise inside the cabin, which they fixed.
When I mentioned the problem of the rattle, with the technician inside the car with me, he said it was caused by some support for the windshield going all the way down to the frame of the car. He mentioned that removing these supports solved the problem, but obviously that's not a good solution as these supports are there for a good reason.
He mentioned that they were still waiting for a definitive fix from the factory.
Anybody else heard a similar story?
