You have more confidence than I do. I tried the latest update - phantom braking is just as bad as before.

I have a 2019 Model X, and I can state that TACC has never worked correctly on it. Constant phantom braking problems, causing two very near rear-end collisions on the interstate. It is so bad that my wife and I refuse to use it as it is just too dangerous - and downright terrifying. Every so...

So looking at the picture from Fri, the biggest "hole" is the transformer - is it on the ground yet (but out of the picture)?

Has anyone heard when they expect to be operational? I have a trip to do and it would save me a lot of time if I could go thru Burns!

How many miles before it showed up again? It is also possible that the 2019 model has some modification that helps the new parts to last longer (note that I didn't have the clevis assembly changed), but I will obviously keep an eye on it!

Oh, also remember that my X is a late 2019 model.

My part numbers differ slightly: FRONT HALFSHAFT, MODEL X, LH PM(1027113-00-B) RIGHT HALFSHAFT, MODEL X, RH PM(1027119-00-B) The nut and safety washers are the same and somewhat irrelevant here. Note that I did not have a Clevis assembly change.

My apologies - I should have updated. Yes, I finally did get the parts installed in Sept - and the shudder is completely eliminated, even at higher suspension settings! So I have to take my hat off to the Tesla engineers. It may have taken a long time, but they have indeed finally solved the...

Perhaps, but I'd prefer to see how the redesigned assembly works before taking that step. As an engineer, I find the notion of a drivetrain "shuddering" itself apart under load to be rather disturbing. Other car companies have produced variable-height suspensions that overcame these problems...

So an update on my prior post. I visited the Portland service center on Monday and had a chat with the folks there. I learned that Tesla has indeed redesigned the powertrain to resolve the shudder problem. However, they are still installing the "old" parts, or at least were still doing so last...

I started a separate thread about this, not realizing this one existed - my bad. I purchased my brand new X in Sept 2019 and it "shuddered" right out of the lot. Multiple chats with the local service person (who basically blew me off) and finally visited the Portland service center - who said...

Yep, that is it! I'm headed into the shop on Monday (windshield wasn't fit properly and whistles, but we had to wait for the pandemic to subside a little locally before fixing it), and I'll be sure to mention this again. Thanks so much for the help!

I appreciate the feedback! Sorry for incorrect terminology - what I was attempting to describe was shaking of the steering wheel and a slight vibration felt in the car. Definitely different from what one experiences from wheel imbalance, though I'll have that checked just to be sure. I have...

I took delivery of a new X last Oct and immediately noticed that a "shimmy" in the drivetrain as it accelerated thru 35mph, especially on a hill where more power had to be applied. It feels almost exactly the same as the "shimmy" alert you get when crossing a strip on the road. I immediately...

I think people confuse a couple of things. I have seen little, if any, negative comments about the service centers. Indeed, my experience with them has always been positive. However, for those of us living remote from a service center, the service experience has been less satisfying. Remote...
