Why do certain Model X's click and vibrate under acceleration?

Quick video of what is happening with many Tesla Model X vehicles, where owners have been complaining about noise and vibrations under acceleration. There is currently no fix available for these vehicles, just yet, but Tesla does know about the issue, and will come up with something eventually.

I have this issues despite having my 2020 X LR+ set to always be in low. Is this something that replacing the CV would fix, at least temporarily?

Heads up on that low setting. Having my model x set to always low destroyed the inside tread on all four tires. The camber makes it so that most of the weight of the car is on the inside tread. So basically, your damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. What I have decided to do is, keep my car in chill mode and leave the suspension in standard. When and only when I want to have fun, I lower it for fast acceleration only.

I had this vibrating issue on my 2021 X Model (ludicrous) and I just had the haft shafts replaced on New Year's Eve at the Service Center. They handed me the keys back just as they were closing up for the holidays and told me all was well. Upon driving 60 miles back to my home on the highway, the unnerving vibrations were already back. I didn't even have 24 hours of peace with this extremely expensive vehicle before having to deal with the problem all over again. Like one of the questions asked below, is this a dangerous problem? Can my family drive this vehicle with this engineering defect and still be safe? I haven't heard of any accidents caused by this defect, but I don't want to be the first one.

This vid makes valid points, but the fix isn’t just axles, but also bearings and they have service bulletins for lower control arms (for certain years S/X) But take it back and let them know it’s still happening..

I had the vibration issues, which came from the driveshaft... they replace both left and right on my 2018 100D a few weeks ago and told me they have new shafts which are better. The vibrations are gone now. It seems they have a fix for it now.

Not sure, I had it done under warranty. I believe they said it normally would cost a $400-500, but I am not 100% if that was regarding the drive shafts or something else they fixed. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

@@PerformanceY No, it is a 2018, but I bought it in the beginning of this year directly from Tesla; when buy a pre-owned from Tesla you get 1 year or 20.000km (which ever comes first) of warranty with the car. My car was manufactured September 2018 and first time registered 29 dec 2018.

@@PerformanceY I know you posted a while back. But, I just had to have the front half-axles on my 2017 Model X P100D replaced because the front end shuddering was bad on almost any acceleration. It started around 30K miles. I don't think I should have to pay for their engineering flaw on a car having a problem after that few miles. But, they charged me $2500. I won't be buying another Tesla.

Model Y had that since week one. They took it in and then said that they replaced axle but in records it shows only lubrication of shafts and a lug replaced. And year and a half later I see that one of rear tires is worn out. Could they have shifted alignment?

@orbitaljellyfish808 4 ай бұрын

They may have mistaken the angle-vibration complex, as described here, as an axle/hub slip problem and lubricated the parts as per that break/fix scenario. But in no universe does that correct/mistaken procedure, or the material discussed in this video, alter alignment in some way as to prematurely wear tires with incorrect alignment… notwithstanding human-error-levels of “oopsieeee I fucked up A while fixing B” lol Seriously tho I’d guess you or your SO curbed a wheel or hit a New Jersey pothole before suspecting that. Doesn’t take much to wear a tire down over time.

@jcoophoffers 2 жыл бұрын

I'm told Tesla has a new design for the Model X half shaft parts. If you are under warranty, a Tesla SC should replace both up front for free. If you expect to accelerate quickly, make sure you are in the LOWEST suspension setting as doing so limits the angle and reduces stress on the half shafts.

Are these vibrations bad for the car?? Safety issue? Dangerous? Or no effect on car? Car remain safe? Nothing going to snap off? Ha...

@EvolutionAutomotiveLLC 4 жыл бұрын

Team Balmert they aren’t good, but I don’t believe them to be dangerous. The vibrations accelerate wear on the components of the driveline, and there is the increased possibility of catastrophic failure, but I don’t believe it will cause issues with anything critical for safety (suspension, brakes, etc). It may break a motor mount or axle, but I truly don’t believe it will break anything necessary to keep the vehicle rolling down the road.
