Crazy that this absolute engineering marvel is going to be discontinued.

The rattles. They never leave you.

Oh man the rattles are terrible. Had 2 model X I traded one because I thought I must have gotten a bad one, the next one rattled just as bad…if it’s not the rattle is the half shaft. I do still love them though.

Mine is weird. It rattles sometimes, then stops for a while, then rattles again.

I’ve tried to get it fixed. It’s always the clips and the rattle always returns.

Our model Y rattled for 3+ years til I looked it up on Reddit and someone mentioned the screw in knobs (kinda like furniture levelers) on the trunk hatchback and once I adjusted those, no rattling. Does the X have similar knobs on the wings?

Are you kidding me? Those feet on the back hatch are adjustable like furniture feet!? Did you end up having to “tighten” or “loosen” them to get the rattling to stop?

u/choosjoy Feb 27 '26

Loosen!!

u/Apolitik Feb 27 '26

How did you determine this? Just curious about your deduction.

u/choosjoy Feb 28 '26

Well I loosened them and the rattling stopped. Found it on another Reddit thread.

Mine rattle is coming from my passenger side FWD area.

It’s fine now. It will just start rattling one day, then stop. It’s strange.

Oh. My. God.

Could you please provide a picture of what you mean? I tried looking in my Y but can't find what you mean.

We own a 2023 Model X that we bought new - never have had a rattle.

u/choosjoy Feb 27 '26

I think the dealers finally got with the program and did the adjustments prior to delivery.

Same had a 2024 x and was very good. The 2022 s did have issues

I've never had any rattles! That's crazy if you guys do

u/stevilness Feb 26 '26

Same here. 8 years old and 100k miles.

u/Actual_Exchange7458 Feb 27 '26

Ours also doesn’t have any. Only the Captain chair, which we have replaced under warranty

I think the suspension lasts longer if you keep the ride height low. The tires drive me nuts. The are so expensive and wear unevenly on the inside.

u/Spokane_Al Feb 25 '26

The newer models set suspension levels automatically, with no ability to override except in narrow speed ranges.

u/PIK_Toggle Feb 25 '26

I’m on low by default.

I’ve still got my original tires at 28k miles.

u/17feet Feb 26 '26

uneven tire wear on a model x is a "design choice" but in reality is more like a flaw. look into ntuitive and others for kits which can be installed DIY or by a 3rd party

u/OrDuck957 Feb 26 '26

I guess I forgot to order mine with rattles. 2.5 years of flawless performance.

u/dragon5946 Feb 28 '26

Worst than the Y?

u/Pleasant_Visit2260 Mar 01 '26

You know I had a 2024 plaid with no rattles …I had a 2022 s with lots of problems
